Major tune up Plugs cap rotor wires filters and much more.
lighted visor and custom lights on bumper
trailer hitch
brakes/calipers/rotors drums


Things that needs to be done

Starter
Pitman arm
pas window motor
transmission oil seal
some rust work
tbar crank and 2 inch shackles
30 or 31 inch tires all terrain or mud tires

extras in this photo : Visor , Bumper lights , DOG

might have a day off tomorrow . If i do so im going to do my lift and then put my new 31 inch all terrains on =)

wish me luck ill update tomorrow night

Looks good with the 31"s
Now where are you going to put the smoke stacks?
Maybe a set of side pipes like the old corvettes.

haha id so put some stacks any ways thats a good idea 2 side pipes

I think side pipes would be cooler than stacks. Stacks only look good with black smoke rolling out of them. Wish I still had my first gen. I always wanted one of those front window visors. Looks real good.

I dunno about side pipes. I think I'd probably like them better if you lowered it and made it an AWD street rod type of car. Could be cool though.

thanks

Update I lifted her also got my 31 inch all terrains on .

did a little minor fender flare trimming .

also finished my hitch the right way . Only 2 bolts was holding her till the other day

Changed my cap and rotor the truck runs so much better now

Next project is my pass window motor and my rear work lights also thinking about to put one of those led tail gate strips =)

Update

Added my work lights

Now i need to wire them =)

here is the picture

More in garage =)

looking good...nice wheels and stance.

Thanks I finally got my fender flares to stop rubbing =P they needed to be grinded a little more

gotta love a dremel always handy to have one

it only rubbed when i did sharp turns and hitting a bump at the same time

Definitely a sharp truck. Love the height. Among the best looking 1st gens in my book.

Thanks

wired my work lights today :icon_wink:

Looks like you wired them just into a switch in the cab. I like the ones from Bully Dog I think that have a 3 way switch - either manual on or off or on with the reverse lights.
Still look good, what wattage are they?

i got a relay on them there the ones you put on heavy equipment but there 12 volts ill check tomorrow for wattage

there way brighter in person then on the picture

i think the picture came out bad ill try to take a better one facing a wall or something

I mean its enough for what i need them for

if someones in a ditch or stuck

or when i hook up my trailer
and some other stuff

just incase you are still thinking about adding a set of side pipes.
found these while stumbling through E-bay not really looking for anything specific.

also i might add id lights under the tire like the heavy duty trucks have

Its your baby but I'd put a hood ornament on your rig.
you probably have better things to spend your money on.

john you need the front acutator cable thingy? I have mine that i dont need since i ripped out the 4x4. NOT sure if it works at all since my 4x4 didnt work to begin it. well it would go in 4x4,but was a pain to get it back out into 2wd. If you wanna pay shipping its yours.

its ok chris i can get a new one for 18 bucks aint that bad =P thanks tho hope i can get it done before winter/snow comes



i was going to put a mack bull dog i took off one of my pops trucks but i never got the chance too lol maybe when i got time

She's lookin good man. I agree that yours is one of the best lookin 1st Gens.

If you get a chance check out my thread (i'm a moron and posted it in the sights and sounds section D'oh). Let me know if you have any ideas/suggestions for mine :)

thanks will do =)

small update

i added some rear id lights under the tire I like how they came out =)

Now to fix my problem when it rains and my 4x4 before it snows. I wish money grew on trees =(

^^^ Very smexy

I wish money grew on trees too.....

What's the 4x4 problem and rain problem?

need to replace the cable to the front axle

and when it rains the truck sorta makes a tapping noise coming from the tailpipe and the motor wont go over 2000 rpms

I do have delco ignition products accept the icm and the wires
i think the icm is messing with the timing when wet

whats weird is that when the engine warms up it gos back to normal also if i pull over and shut the truck off then start it it stops then starts again till warm or driven a few miles

ALSO my intake rubber has a crack underneath it and i think its taking in moister so that might be it also

intake rubber? you mean the line that runs from your air filter box to the throttle body?


I bet its that icm. Or could be moisture is getting in the dis cap. Test it! wait till a rainy day and pop open the cap and wipe it with a rag. See if it runs fine.

yea the one that goes from the plastic into the intake on a vortec

and the caps snug i dont see how moister can go in but yea ill try it also whats the round thing that plugs into the icm ? can that be it also ?

yea that wouldnt cause any issues. Try running some seafoam, that stuff does wonders. and fix my ball joints.

oh nice you replaced all 4 ? i bet the truck rides great now

and yes i did seafoamed it truck runs great after runs great every day all day just the morning when you 1st start it after a rainy day or night

lol no i was saying for you to replace my ball joints. I havent touched em. Im hoping its the hub. Free fix then.

oh i missread lol see what my truck dose to me .... yea would be nice if it was the hub

small update

I did an oil change replaced my intake rubber hose and installed a switch for my rear work lights

hopefully i can start on modding it again after i fix most of the stuff wrong with it


Edit: It stopped raining and i started to fix my 4wd and then it rained again. Im all soaked but my 4wd is working again so its worth it tho haha


Edit2: kinda sank before i got the camera aw well haha http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/...2/PICT1263.jpg

Nothing done to the truck but i had a little fun today

decided to go in back of my property and have a little fun in the mud

http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/...2/PICT1303.jpghttp://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/...2/PICT1302.jpghttp://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/...2/PICT1301.jpg

I do got my Ignition control mod and window motor coming in this week those will be put on once they come

Edit: sorry for the large pictures i forgot to resize them

Gio, you definetly have one of the best lookin' 1st gens ever. And it looks just as good covered in mud.

thanks thogert =)

Good to see my Blazer isn't the only one that prefers to plow over piles instead of drive over them

haha indeed it sunk once i found the camera oh and sorry about last night i sorta passed out on the couch :icon_couchhide:


small update I fixed my window motor and replaced my icm module with ac delco

the truck runs way better hope my rain problem gets fixed

Hey after dealing with that window motor bullsh*t I don't blame ya. More or less what I did when I did mine
