It's lookin and sounding good. Have it ready for me to ride in by next weekend.

djracer · 07-11-2010, 08:00 PM

You still got my glass mans number?

jgreene0717 · 07-12-2010, 07:55 AM

Looking and sounding good can't wait to go for a ride.

ERBSIX · 07-12-2010, 08:38 AM

I just saw one of these blazers in person for the first time last week (but it was a 75 K10).

I am quickly becoming obsessed with these...

Don't get me wrong, I love my 78 half ton truck, but there is something cool about these things.

Great looking square body you got.

1LoC10 · 07-12-2010, 09:35 AM

coming along great....awesome job

silvereagle07 · 07-12-2010, 11:20 AM

Man that engine sounds awesome! What headers did you use? I'm looking some for mine.

*BGRAFX* · 07-12-2010, 03:18 PM

That's a good lookin blazer! How does she run?

Mr.Chevy4x4 · 07-12-2010, 03:23 PM

Thanks guys! The headers are Hedman Elite's. I haven't gone down the road in it yet. I still have a few things to do before her maiden voyage. Windshield is tops on that list!

djracer · 07-12-2010, 07:18 PM

We would love to see a pic of you grinnin with bugs in your teeth.

If I can ride shotgun, I'll grin for that picture.

The truck is looking great. I wouldn't expect much weight from the bumper, hood, and windshield but it's nothing cutting a 1/4 coil won't cure. The engine sounds stout and revved sinfully quick for the first fire-up.

I am a little disappointed. I went back through your pictures and saw that freshly painted hood setting on concrete...

Mr.Chevy4x4 · 07-12-2010, 11:03 PM

Thanks for the compliments, but your eyes deceive you. It's not sitting on concrete, there are two tires under it keeping it off the ground.

It should be back on there tomorrow evening.

Cool. Holler when you have the string and 2x4 ready.

I submitted that before I gave a thought to how homo that might sound, so I'll add a short explanation. I told MC4x4 I couldn't wait to ride in the truck, it was looking good/sounding good, and I didn't care if he had to steer with a 2x4 and work the throttle with a string.

So git yer heads out of the gutter.

Mr.Chevy4x4 · 07-19-2010, 09:17 PM

Made a lot of progress this past weekend. Pretty much finished up the engine compartment minus a little neatening. Got the A/C charged up and blowing cold. Got the correct TV cable installed and adjusted. Tied up a lot of little lose ends. Got both of the bumpers back on.

It's at the exhaust shop now getting new pipes and an alignment.

Gonna work on doors (mirrors) and tailgate this week.

I think I see a light at the end of the tunnel!

Now for what you are really here to see.

djracer · 07-19-2010, 09:22 PM

lookin pretty sweet MIKEY

68Timber · 07-19-2010, 09:26 PM

Looking good, sir. What mufflers are you going to run and what diameter pipe?

Mr.Chevy4x4 · 07-19-2010, 09:31 PM

The exhaust will be 2.5 inch. The mufflers are flowmasters that came off of my race car. For some reason I was thinking they were also 2.5 inch. When I went to pull them out of storage I realized they were 3 inch. So it's 2.5 inch pipe to 3 inch muffler back to 2.5 inch pipe. I went by and saw it on the way home this afternoon. He was almost done with the exhaust. He has it tucked up real tight and all you can see is a small turn down coming out behind the rear tires. All he lacked was some welding and putting the "h" pipe in.

I can't wait to drive it home tomorrow evening!

VA72C10 · 07-19-2010, 10:03 PM

Looking great!

jgreene0717 · 07-20-2010, 01:07 PM

Looks great can't wait to hear it with the new exhaust.

silvereagle07 · 07-20-2010, 03:02 PM

Man, that looks sweet! Great job.

mike nutt · 07-20-2010, 09:26 PM

that's one sweet lookin' blazer you've got!!!!

Mr.Chevy4x4 · 07-20-2010, 10:18 PM

Thanks Mike, I just hope that one day it can grow up and be as cool as your truck! I saw it over at Joe's one day, and that thing is amazing!

I hope to do a LS swap eventually.

68Timber · 07-20-2010, 10:42 PM

Did you get the exhaust on today?

Mr.Chevy4x4 · 07-20-2010, 11:14 PM

I did, and it sounds great! You need to come check it out, and bring me that steering wheel!

68Timber · 07-20-2010, 11:34 PM

I'll come by tomorrow evening if that's good, I'll call first. I've got the one good Silverado wheel for you and one 88 to 94 4-spoke that I cleaned up for you as well. The 4-spoke won't cut it for your truck but will make good trade fodder.

I'm bringing my camera and expect you to roast the tires for some pics.
