Re: Got Rust?
I'll be working on it some this weekend, but no body work yet. And I don't know who you're talking about when you say the "master", but if he shows up, I'll let you know. :lol:

Still rip & tear? When your ready, bring it over and we'll get it painted. (I know, long way off but ya gotta plan ahead for these things) :alc: |
Re: Got Rust?
That cowl on the tub doesn't look that bad, what makes it so you have to swap out the cowl???
Sorry I'm not near your neck of the woods...I would help out |

As for bringing it over for paint...hmmm...that would be quite a road trip. I'll have to ponder this one. |

It's too bad for me that you're not closer as it appears that you have a lot of knowledge and really know what you're doing. I've been watching your build thread for quite some time...nice job. I will post pics this weekend. |

VT is the one that did a cowl swap before, that amazes me. Mine was technically never in two pcs., major holes were there but it was still one shell...Good luck, I'll be watching if I can be of any assistance....J. |

VT is another one on this board whom I have learned a ton from. The work he does is top notch as well. And there are many others as well with a lot of knowledge to share. That is what makes this such a great deal for $25 a year. The info on this board is worth much more than that. OK I'm done, now I need to get some work done. |

Do the separation slowly/carefully and it'll be clear what needs to happen. First two show the truck firewall/floor Second two show the blazer tub Last pic is terrible but you can at least see the two different parts together. So hey...have fun with it. :chevy: |
Re: Got Rust?
Once again, thanks Kurt!

Re: Got Rust?
Well here is what I found when I pulled the rear panels off. The mice seamed to love it over the years, boy did it stink.
http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m...d/DSC02468.jpg What do you guys think...should I replace the mounts?:lol: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m...d/DSC02475.jpg Things went pretty well today. I should have the tub off tomorrow and start on the frame. http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m...d/DSC02476.jpg |
Re: Got Rust?
Why in the world would you stuff insulation in there? Amazing, perfect mouse house
Good work, looks like fun... if'n you have an extra set of 'B' posts give me a shout I doubt it but is that w/s frame in good shape, maybe use it on the other tub Really like the wheels and tires, little early but is that what you're running? |

Re: Got Rust?
Wow to the insulation - that is a new one.
Looks like you have your hands full, and that is how you continue to learn stuff about these trucks...or so they say. Keep up the good work. Have a good one. |
Re: Got Rust?
That windshield frame is better than mine! If shipping wouldn't be $$$ I would offer you money for it as it's alot more repairable than mine,and I'm too cheap to buy a nice one :lol:
All together I think your K5 is still in better shape than mine ;) Good luck with it,it'll look good when it's all done. |
Re: Got Rust?
I think those wheels look sweet. Old School even. LMK if you decide to get rid of them, maybe we can work something out. Keep the work up and the pics comin'. It seems like when one of us makes some progress it fires up the rest of us. I'll be workin' on mine tomorrow.

Re: Got Rust?
Things went well today also. A buddy of mine came over and helped me pull the tub and Jojotonka stopped by and helped me pull the engine. Now I get to start on the frame...or the engine...or the body work?
Thanks for the help Joe! http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m...d/DSC02485.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m...d/DSC02540.jpg |
Re: Got Rust?
Very :cool:
Definitely good stuff accomplished this weekend! Any plans/ideas for the drive train yet? |
Re: Got Rust?
Well...I'm going to go with the existing setup. The engine is a 350 and was rebuilt approx. 15,000 miles ago, it came with a mountain of paperwork/receipts, but I'll be taking it to the local engine shop for a hot tank dip and then put it back together after everything has been checked and replaced if necessary. I was told that the 350 tranny only had approx. 500 miles on it when I bought it, so I will just clean it up. As for the transfer case, I'm not sure how to tell what it is, but I'll just clean it up and paint it. I'll open it up first, check it out and replace what needs to be replaced.
Of course all of this is subject to change at the owners discretion. ;) |
Re: Got Rust?
Now ya dun it, ain't no turning back now. Nice progress!!! That thing is looking better already, you find any surprises?
|
Re: Got Rust?

Re: Got Rust?
Well... I spent a good part of yesterday out there, so today it will be a trip to the accountants and then maybe go out and clean up (what a mess I made)and take some pics.
Gotta get ready for the big festivities tonight, hopefully I can stay awake that long. |
