and finally what it "should" look like when finished and some floor shots after POR-15

glimmertwin01 · 03-29-2009, 11:59 AM

forgot the pics

msgross · 03-29-2009, 01:02 PM

sometimes the resizing of pics works and sometimes it doesn't... I don't know the history of it though. I started posting all my pics on photobucket so I can just copy links, it resizes them all for me automatically...

Lookin better... I finally have some cash and warmer temps to continue on mine, now I just need that one last very expensive piece called TIME!

I'm coaching all three kids in different sports, work full time+, working on my MBA and still want to spend time with mama... truck turns out to be last priority of course...

67mater · 04-06-2009, 09:09 PM

glimmertwin01 · 04-06-2009, 09:12 PM

67mater · 04-06-2009, 09:15 PM

pix below from last sat

glimmertwin01 · 04-07-2009, 08:43 PM

looks like im gonna need a longer speedo cable to connect to the tranny hard to say right now since the cab isnt on the chassis yet... as you can see the cab was a 2wd V8 CE147... it will now be a KS248 ... any thoughts?

msgross · 04-25-2009, 09:10 AM

I might have some wiring that will work for you... Let me know what you need...

glimmertwin01 · 04-25-2009, 09:18 AM

mike
thanks but I can get the complete harness out of a lo mile 6 cyl truck the K5 has a 72 headlight harness in it and i want to go to gauges.. .. but i could use a long speedo cable if u have a spare.... wish i could go to Carlisle but its 5 hrs away..and i have enuff schtuff to keep me very busy up here..but as soon as the cab fabrication (metal) is done im gonna tackle installing the 292 and buy a gallon of Featherlite.... and start trowelling the bondo.... trowel sand trowel sand.... and sand and sand......

msgross · 04-25-2009, 09:36 AM

make sure the harness is for a gauge truck.. you can buy a speedo cable at autozone for $15 or so... Plastic shell but it works...

glimmertwin01 · 04-25-2009, 12:08 PM

never thought about autozone... dont know why.... thanks musta beena brain fart
It is a gauge harness thats why i want it.... 100% complete... NO cuts... all the retainers n clips too

**Yukon Jack** · 04-26-2009, 09:13 AM

You sure are doing a great job!

glimmertwin01 · 04-26-2009, 09:24 AM

thanks.... you folks keep me going and the fact i want it done so I can move onto the K5

glimmertwin01 · 04-26-2009, 09:55 PM

got my other clip today for the blazer.. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...9&goto=newpost

glimmertwin01 · 05-18-2009, 06:09 AM

On Saturday after picking up some junk laying around and organizing just a bit.... I started a "half hour job" to remove V8 crossmember and install 292 crossmember.... got it 3/4 way unbolted only to find the PO had welded the lower PS portion... apparently he either lost the bolts or couldnt get the holes to line up.... needless to say i had to grind and drill and grind some more ( no torch here) it took 3 hrs.....

and of course had to spend a lil money on a handy shop cart too.... Hey I cant sink all of my cash into trucks...

glimmertwin01 · 05-18-2009, 06:17 AM

Sunday finished up most of my welding and fabrications...
fimished the welding on the DS rocker and ground the "spot" welds and completed my PS vent box reconstruction..... only thing left to do now welding / fab wise on the cab is... the bottom of the DS vent box

Next step finish dent removal and troweling and sanding....

glimmertwin01 · 05-23-2009, 05:40 PM

scored this and a decent set of 68 chevy eye brows and some headlight bezels from a local fella today.... the only one of the bezelsis decent but hey cant beat the price.... $60 the gate is rust free but had some dents but it will be great for my 70 K5 which currently has a gate with NO bottom on it the bottom trimis attached with 2 sided tape.... its a real 67 68 gate....

glimmertwin01 · 05-23-2009, 05:45 PM

ok i posted this same question in the main forum..can any one help?

ok Stupid request.. could you get me some pictures of the engine mounts specifically how they are attached to themotor thru the cross memeber and to the block mount? the PO had taken the motor out and the one I got was already out of the truck with the c shaped rubber mount and the small square rubber and bolts already set aside.. I may be missing something or just having a brain fart but i want to get the motor in my truck with all the mounts properly installed

msgross · 05-23-2009, 10:20 PM

That looks like the rubber for the tranny mounts... should be two of them..

70rs/ss · 05-27-2009, 04:48 PM

Hey Dan, way to go man that thing is a "BEAST" and it looks good now. I just tossed a 67 cab with some rust in the cowl but the floor was perfect, I was going to cut the bottom of the cab off, but didn't it has been sitting for about 2 years and I haven't touched it so off it went!! I hope to get my 72 Burb home this weekend?! Let's see more, and especially my err I mean YOUR Blazer?!

70rs/ss · 05-27-2009, 04:50 PM

Oh and the motor mount just sits on that pad and a bolt from the backside goes into the mount. The C shaped mount is as Mike says the trans mount, C down and the square comes up from bottom to bolt into trans/transfer case mount.
