Good work.
Thanks, man! I have zero professional training in this arena. Honestly, I just read a lot then get after it. I've learned by borrowing from the knowledge shared here (and some other websites ). Check out posts by ebfabman, rokcrln, jaros44sr, lks dcvn, and a bunch of other great fabricators I've forgotten to mention. Hobart handler 140 is a great little welder, but if you're on a budget, the Eastwood 110v mig I'm using is working out pretty well.

Thanks--doing these repairs has renewed my interest in the Blazer as well. With the C10 getting a PBDM and NL coilover setup, I'll have a bunch of 2wd parts just laying around looking for a home... You may be in for a long ride if you're looking for a finished product--I don't think they're ever finished...
