Pulled the inner fenders to fix a small about of rust under the battery box and fill some of the holes drilled by the PO. Vary happy with how clean it is.

Bro your burb is Sweet! i also love your shortbed and that c20! Keep it up!

Re: Ol Blue
 

Thanks. It's been crazy working on my small fleet of trucks. But I'm getting in under control. I also got back a truck I sold years back and it's in need of love.

Re: Ol Blue
 

More parts landed today. :metal:

Re: Ol Blue
 

Not 1 but 2! crate motors?

Re: Ol Blue
 

My Dad Made the drive up from Nogales in his 70 so we could drop one in.

Re: Ol Blue
 

Getting it all painted up:metal:

Re: Ol Blue
 

All dressed up and more parts!

Re: Ol Blue
 

It's funny how clean you think it will be till you have it all out in the open. I could not help but clean up and repaint a bit.

Re: Ol Blue
 

Never installed a Vintage air kit. Popped in nice and the metal covers look great. I had to paint match them.

Re: Ol Blue
 

Did not get done this weekend.:waah: but I still have a bunch more clean up. should be back on the road this week. :metal:

Re: Ol Blue
 

Looking great man! :metal:

Re: Ol Blue
 

good work!

Re: Ol Blue
 

looking good

Re: Ol Blue
 

Looks great!!!!

Re: Ol Blue
 

Thanks guys. This has been one crazy week. Got it running last night. Some small stuff and it will be back on the road. I will need to finish up the vintage air install. Still have yet to make the call on the vents and controls. I have some ideas. Should have more pics this weekend.

Re: Ol Blue
 

Some of the cleanup on the Vintage air install. Most of the engine install is done. Put about 300 miles on it at this point. Still some fine tuning to be done. I have to weld up about 10 holes that had been drilled into the inner fenders over the years and get them painted. Thinking I might get them coated with bed liner spray on the inside.

Re: Ol Blue
 

Still some work to be done to get the backing to lay flat. I'm happy with the black on black look.

Re: Ol Blue
 

Not much to report. Took a trip down to Tucson. Check fuel economy and it was only about 16 MPH. I was pushing it a bit. Picked up some parts and hung out with family. A otherwise "none productive" weekend.:waah: Pic was on the way back we stopped in at Picacho Peak. Looking at it this is my first pic I have posted with the new mirrors. :lol:

Re: Ol Blue
 

I like it! ...and I envy your 16mpg...

Re: Ol Blue
 

Thanks. I10 is flat and we had no wind to impact the test. I want to take it down to my dad's house for a longer test and about 4000 feet above see level. Then we should see some different numbers.

Re: Ol Blue
 

I don't think 16 mpg is too bad for that big beautiful burb.

Re: Ol Blue
 

im so sad to see this build stop :( i started throught page 1 and now im at page 5 and i reached the end for now im staying tuned for this one!

Re: Ol Blue
 

I'm happy with it. I think that's about the best I'm going to see from it.

I'm taking a short break but I have more stuff that will be done. Still have a bunch of parts.:waah: For the time it's been my driver. Thanks for checking it out.

Re: Ol Blue
 

Me too

Re: Ol Blue
 

Looks good man , maybe I'll see you cruising around here in Tucson one day

Re: Ol Blue
 

I have been down in Tucson just about every weekend in February. Last weekend was Phoenix and this weekend might be hitting the renaissance festival out at Apache Junction.

Re: Ol Blue
 

Not much of a update. Parts are showing up and more will be getting done. With the heat on the way I wanted to get the A/C up and running. This should do the job!:lol:

Re: Ol Blue
 

Ah snap

Re: Ol Blue
 

Still waiting on some of the small parts to install the front runner kit. Worked on some of the small detail stuff that is just labor. Drivers side had some damage from what looks to have been from a tow chain.

Re: Ol Blue
 

Back when I cut off the old tow hitch I was a bit lazy and didn't cut all the old stuff off and needed to address this to install the new one.

Re: Ol Blue
 

I hurt in places I didn't know could hurt like this!

Re: Ol Blue
 

Just about clean

Re: Ol Blue
 

The big stuff is in place. Sometime down the road I might replace the bumper and cut a cleaner hole for the receiver.

Re: Ol Blue
 

Just reading through your build and I have to say, these seats are fantastic! Some day I hope I can find someone nearby me to replicate them!

Enjoying reading your build!

Re: Ol Blue
 

The seats make this a vary nice ride. I have to say it was the best update.

Re: Ol Blue
 

Not much was done over the weekend. I did start my Front runner install. I'm still working out my fan setup.

Re: Ol Blue
 

That's a sweet fan setup. Is that a universal fan in a stock shroud?

Re: Ol Blue
 

Yea, give us more info on that fan swap. I want to get rid of my stock fan and go with an electric set up. I like the idea of utilizing the stock shroud. More info please........

Re: Ol Blue
 

Someone has a thread on it. I will try and find the link. It's a stock fan from a 2004 jeep grand Cherokee. It fit's great. took all of 15 min to mount up. This is a junkyard one I picked up for $40. I wanted to test it out first. In the AZ heat:devil: I should give it a good test. I will post my findings. I'm going to try it out first with the stock short pump and then if it works out install the frontrunner. I'm not crazy about changing a ton of stuff in one shot.
