Re: My winter project

I found out that truck bed liner will come off the the hatch with a little heat, prying and pulling but fairly easy to remove. I was also surprised the hatch was in pretty good shape.

Re: My winter project

Well after rolling around on my back scraping, grinding, and sanding the underside of the tub and frame it's time to paint. I used a roll-on satin black on the underside of the tub and can spray the frame. Trans and transfer case ready to go back in.

Re: My winter project

Thank you, and glad it helped. No particular reason that I recall, but I think would look nice as well.

Re: My winter project

I have the engine back from the machine shop and will to start cleaning the outside stuff for some paint. I did stumble on this steering wheel and shiftier to replace the custom wheel and late model shiftier that I have now.

Re: My winter project

Starting to put these back where they go. I'll clean the outside engine for some paint and I'll be ready for the next move.

Re: My winter project

I've started some motor assembly and have a question, the exhaust manifold is very close to the starter and previous exhaust shop made it work by sizing the pipe to fit around the starter, should I change to different manifold before I break in.
Thanks 7D2N

Your Blazer would have come with straight dump manifolds. I believe the correct casting for 1972 is 3989036

Re: My winter project

Thanks Jack B, the engine is not original to the blazer but 1970 block. I'll look for some straight down type.
thanks again, 7D2N

Re: My winter project

I could use some help or info if I may. I have my motor on the run stand and plan to start soon, question is should I fill the trans and transfer case with fluids until I put the engine in?
Thanks
