I'm a young 39, you wont find to many women that will admit to that...lol. And im not sure if i would have to change clip or not cause the guy i bought it off of said he just changed out the grill, but who knows. It doesnt look like the clip has been changed before. heck it might be a chevy after all and for some reason put a GMC door tag on it...Im just trying to get something matched...lol.

yeah, it would have cost $5 more to send it to you later

Man, I wish you would have mentioned the U-bolts before...I have two new ones also and would have thrown them in the box. If you can't find any local let me know and I'll ship them for $20 shipped. Can't give everything away

thanks, yeah, the blazer is VERY nice and will be a show quality cruiser when done. all that's left right now from the SWB project is a bare frame and my original cab from the LWB we shaved. Eventually will be porterbuilt stuff on the SWB!

Re: "Rice Rocket'

Ok, well ive been drivin the truck no problems yet. Went to the junkyard to look at the 'so called perfect bedside' it was a rusted out pos. Well, stopped by danny cummings tire shop in mcminnville and talked to him (old member). Nice guy gave me some leads to vendors he's met for parts . Trying to convince him to get another old truck to play with (had some nice ones


Anyhow, saw one of my old buddys at the parts store, he/and his dad have a few of our trucks, well after I left parts store I went to his house and talked to his pops, we may make a deal on a 67 chevy with great patina and a late 70's roller with slot wheels 1/2 ton. Hes gonna leme know tomorow...I'll get pics next time maybe. its got great patina!

If I were to put a leaf spring rearned in my truck, I know you can buy axle saddles. But how do you line the rearend up?? And whatcha do about a panhard bar? Thanks!

And I need to cough up $100 or so and get a power booster, which do I get (gold plated one or painted or what)?

Re: "Rice Rocket'

you don't need a panhard bar with a leaf spring rear they do the work of keeping the rear in place and spings

Re: "Rice Rocket'

Why would you want to put leafs on your truck? They axle-hop, and (seemingly) don't ride and handle as nice as coils.
