In the last two weeks, finished putting the soft top on, mounted the back seat and belts, put a new carb on, fired up the new engine for the first time, and installed an aftermarket USA am/fm and kick panel speakers in the kick panels. The windshield has been in and out twice so far. The stainless trim just hasn't laid in the gasket as good as I want it. Bought what was supposed to be the best gasket and stainless 69-70 trim. NG so far.

Rewired the whole back end. Should be good for another 47 years...

Passenger side assembled. A couple days snowed in from the "Bomb Cyclone" helped

I drove to an appointment with an oral surgeon for a Biopsy on the roof of my mouth. My Wife drove me home , It was her first time driving my Blazer in the 5 years we have owned it.

New body bushings/bolts, bumper guards, and tilt column and steering wheel.
Not sure about the new wheel, but I do like the smaller size, compared to stock. Sticks out like wooden nickel in the ol'Blazer, I'll give it a while.

You beat me to my next two projects.... How much fun was replacing the body bushings? Where did you get the replacement bolts and were you happy with them? Any issues replacing the steering column?
I'll stop at four questions. Thank you.

I just finished the following projects:
Brake lines, fuel lines, fuel pressure regulator and gauge, valve covers, plug wires, Stans headers... and some other things I can't remember.

The body mount kit Wes sells is great quality and comes complete with hardware: http://classicheartbeat.com/69-72_blazer.htm

My buddy did body mounts, they were from Wes, and top of the line. Bolts were rusted but was about a 6 hr. Job, with lots of breaks. Steering column was a piece of cake, again from Les on the board, amazing work!

Put a front bumper on it. Really wanting to paint the black accents on the grille now

I checked my steering wheels today - happy to report no cracks despite low temps reaching into the -30s this winter. Next season I’ll bring the steer wheels in the house.

Did spark plugs and oil change. Found out heater core died over the winter.

Nope started leaking as soon as I fired it up and the thermostat opened. Then I had the puddle of death On the floor. Lol

Bummer! I’ve had to deal with little leaks because the tower clamps aren’t that good and noticed a few drips under the k20 - I’m hoping the heater core didn’t burst when temps dipped below minus 30. The coolant in the radiator wasn’t frozen so I’m hopeful. Heater core replacement is such a pita.
