What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?

[asolde]

Been working on my foor. Installed the rear carpet and seat/seat belts. I sill need to put in the front floor and seats.

[timski69gmc]

Thanks. Looks like I have some covers coming from Truckseats. Might have to increase my order.
This weekend is installing my tach cluster. Pictures to come!

[PHAT TONY]

I made patterns out of box board, took em to a shop that water jetted them from 3/16 aluminum, sand sand sand and polish. More work to the lenses to make them fit just right though. Thank you for the compliment; my Blazer is full of little things that took MAJOR time and effort that you have to point out to people if I want them to notice.

Got the rear floor finished in the Blazer 2WD

I pulled my broken SBC 400, to start a rebuild.

[72BlazerFC]

I'm putting in a new ignition switch. The wire that comes from the Voltage Regulator then goes into the back of the fuse panel connects to the switch but I can't find where it comes out of fuse panel.
Anyone know what color wire it is. I have a brown/white stripe wire that is one small silver wire that isn't connected to anything and looks like it was connected to old ignition switch.
My new ignition switch plug has pink wire, double red wires, purple wire, double green wires, double brown wires. Have all but alternator wire figured out. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Resurrection time for a 71 with the help of one of my 69's.

Cleaning up some stuff.

Started on my Patina........

Finally cobbled enough parts together to make a complete rear bench seat for the 72 Jimmy. Now to reupholster them to the original vinyl next and paint.

Installed a refurbished OEM am/fm truck radio, freshened up the AC ducts, and swapped the repro dash pad for a really nice OEM example. It took most of the weekend and taught me I need bifocals!

[timski69gmc]

Looks great! Gotta come see it in person.

Thanks! Please do. I believe there's a parts swap here soon (but I have to work!).

Did some trouble shooting on the engine and found out the intake was leaking all the way around so I pulled that all apart cleaned it and ready to reinstall. Trouble shot my transfer case leak sure enough I have to drop it out and reseal the adapter. Put some new trim molding on my right rear body panel. Thats enough for me this weekend. Alex

Pulled my gauge cluster and replaced the light switch, that fixed my dash light dimmer and my courtesy lights. Also fixed my tach, the needle would bind up at 1800 rpm, the needle sits on a spring all I had to do was slighty pull it out which now allows the needle to fully rotate. Also ran the wiring for the door pins that control the courtesy lights, now need to make a jumper to wire them in. Attempted to install my new passenger side inside fender after I had painted it, but decided to wait until I have some help so I don't fubar the paint.

Time for a nap!

Alex how'd you trouble shoot for the leak? Nice new ride btw!! I've got a leaking heater core, my heater blows cool not hot, and my fuel gauge is inaccurate so I've got a lot more trouble shooting to.

[IlliniK5]

Assembled my new grille with billet inserts....while watching hockey on my couch.

I sprayed brake cleaner around the intake while the engine is running and listen for rpm increase. Heater cores are a PITA I am sure you have study up on that one. I haven't had to trouble shoot a fuel guage yet.

[timski69gmc]

Did a light refurbish on a used tach cluster I picked up last year. Finally installed it, but the temp gauge pegged to the top when I got the power on. Any ideas on that one? Off course the battery was too dead to fire it up, so still not sure if the tach even works. Throw the battery on the charger and try again tomorrow.

[DeadheadNM]

Wish I could help - having a real struggle right now with my fuel gauge which is off by 1/4 turn or so clockwise. I need to swap in the original cluster which was working well. Lights look good - I upgraded to brighter ones in my tach cluster, #168 IIRC

[timski69gmc]

Bummer. Thought I had seen a thread somewhere on the Temp gauge. Will have to see if I can find it. I had a mixture of 168's and 194's in the three clusters I had in pieces. Wasn't sure which were the brighter ones, I mostly just wanted them to work. I think most were the 194's.
Oh, and got my K/5 emblems back one. Only had one when I bought it. Found another on Ebay and touched them up. Much better having matching emblems.

Repairs/Upgrades on the Dana44. New Yukon 4340 axles and ujoints, ball joints, hub bearings, seals, new Warn locking hubs, rotors, brake calipers. Degreasing 42 years of caked-on grease sludge, and bead-blasting everything took me more time than anything else...

[GhostTown]

Polished the bumper with a little never dull. Tried to polish some of the aluminum with little success.

[Wasted Income]

Powdercoated the charge pipe to match the rest of the stuff.
