Bigglass the blazer rear bumper and the truck sport bumpers are the same.

Re: 1986 C10 Project "Flashback"
 

I started the holiday weekend off with removing all the old AC stuff, leaking valve covers, air cleaner, and radiator. The evaporator was new so it was reused along with the hoses. New compressor, dryer, parallel flow condenser, blower motor, and new fan clutch were installed with the correct green O-rings. The system pulled down great and held vacuum at 29in overnight. I followed that up with new valve covers, air cleaner, and a little detail in the engine bay. Nothing over the top but my main goal was just clean and presentable. Any finally charged the system with 134a and quickly had 45 degree vent temps idling in the driveway on a humid 85 degree day. I should see 42-45 temps driving. This brings this stage to completion and should have the full truck finished this week.

Thank you.

Great work, looks nice!

Re: 1986 C10 Project "Flashback"
 

I’m down to the last piece of the project. I decided to go ahead and change out the front bumper with a new one. Along with new hardware this went real quick and suprisingly lined up extremely well.

Re: 1986 C10 Project "Flashback"
 

And to officially bring this project to completion, a final detail followed by a hand wax. I’m real pleased with final look but ready to move on to another.

And one more.

Great looking truck!

Re: 1986 C10 Project "Flashback"
 

Truck turned out very nice. I wish I could afford to take it off your hands! LOL, just not in the cards right now.

Re: 1986 C10 Project "Flashback"
 

Thanks but it's already SOLD. So the hunt for the next one begins.

Re: 1986 C10 Project "Flashback"
 

Another one gets hit out of the park. I have loved them all, but this one ranks in the top three. I'm not a big fan of cowl hoods, but this one wears it well. I think its the dropped center that I like better. :metal:

Re: 1986 C10 Project "Flashback"
 

Is that the new wheel of choice or are you going back with the TT2?

Re: 1986 C10 Project "Flashback"
 

Thank you sir. Same here on the hood but It was a little different and the fit was excellent.

Re: 1986 C10 Project "Flashback"
 

I'm not sure yet. I liked the Billet Specialties but something about the TT2 is just hard to beat on a truck.

Re: 1986 C10 Project "Flashback"
 

Truck is officially SOLD and heading to KY this week.
