Neat build, I'm gonna' enjoy watching you put it together.
My vote: Don't paint it.

*Stitch* · 08-25-2010, 08:54 PM

your vote and my vote makes two votes for keeping the original paint...

STOCKISH · 08-25-2010, 08:59 PM

I wouldnt paint it either. A little surface rust adds character! It will look like a whole different truck with the 20s on there. Looking forward to Saturday.

*Stitch* · 08-25-2010, 09:02 PM

you and me both...I can not wait...

Oh I see interesting. Still a clr paint job would be cool

Looks like a solid truck. Still jealous

I will trade you my grandmothers cc dually, my golf cart and my bicycle for it!

btw none of them run including my bike

*Stitch* · 08-25-2010, 09:05 PM

LMAO...the diesel isn't going anywhere...thanks for the offer though...I wouldn't be a half bad trade if the bike ran...

thirdstreettito · 08-25-2010, 09:59 PM

Yay finally a 6.2 build thread!(besides GMTGMT) Cant wait for it to start coming apart then back together.

Good luck Fat Hoe!

*Stitch* · 08-25-2010, 10:21 PM

Thanks Bradley. I can't wait to get started on it. Gotta get some more parts and get the blazer finished which will take a day to do. And then it's f'ing on.

plans are to have it together and mostly if not all done by the fall Goofs. I'm gonna debute it there if I can get it done

Just needs a new pedal and back rim. Got hit by a car. The crew cab is a 6.2 just needs a water pump and 2 batteries. I have a plan to acquire it and leave it mostly stock but thinking of cuttin the bed down to a shorty dually.

Lookin forward to watching your project

STOCKISH · 08-26-2010, 07:56 AM

Bradley, you still have your 6.2 truck? Hows it coming along?

menace121978 · 08-26-2010, 08:21 AM

I think he sold the white truck unless he got another one. He was talking about building a land speed truck but I don't know what ever came of that.

Thanks Dennis. I cannot wait for Saturday. They are going to look really good on there I think. And the deal works out great. Josh gets what he wants and I get what I want. To tell you the truth, it's nice not having to figure out what to do with two truck that need to be built. I can concentrate on just the diesel now.

Nope, I sold it. $820 for a non-running truck. I crapped up the fuel system. Then didnt have the money to fix it, I would've done it myself but I was still in school so I didnt have the time between school and homework. As Fat Hoe said, I am now going to build a Land Speed rear mount twin turbo 6.2 truck. Cant wait.

*Stitch* · 08-26-2010, 10:50 AM

I can't wait either. I'll defintely be following that

Me too. But I'll be following with an empty wallet. $3800 for the tranny and $3000 for wheels and tires... then the rest of the build...

okieraptor · 08-26-2010, 11:57 AM

Do you know which Turbo that is?

Its probably a GM-5 or GM-8.

*Stitch* · 08-26-2010, 12:19 PM

I'll have to check on the turbo. It came off a 93 6.5td

palposity · 08-26-2010, 03:09 PM

Now I am getting jealous that I do not have a diesel square in my stable!

*Stitch* · 08-26-2010, 05:21 PM

Got a call from my wife Laura and I go some packages today. She said I got a package from blackbird which must be the rear disc brake brackets and 2 boxes from djm showed up from ups. So I guess that's the drop spindles and flip kit. I'll be sure to take pictures when I get to the house. I gotta work late tonight until 7 so don't expect them before then lol

Go ahead and get one Charlie. You already have two projects what's one more. That's how I ended up with 5 dogs lol.

*Stitch* · 08-26-2010, 07:57 PM

Pics up soon. Eating dinner right now.

*Stitch* · 08-26-2010, 08:20 PM

ok here's some pics....first ones are of the truck hood that I washed last night with the clr...I didn't do the whole hood as you can see and I'm also not done with where I've started...You can definitely see where I washed it and where I didn't...I gotta go over the whole hood with it at least one more time...

These next pictures are of the parts I got today...

...I'm a happy camper...
