Wify's Toy
#11
ok here's the story on the projects. The blazer my wife had befor we got together. Was her first rig. It apparently was in really good condition with a nice sound system in it, that was befor her step-dad got his hands on it (he's like watching a monkey fornicate with a blender). He stripped the paint, took the sound and put it in his backyard and it pretty much became the doghouse. Soon as wify started drivin he just got it together enough for her to go to collage and that was it. After her and i got together i started workin on it lil by lil keepin it roadworthy...considdering it's pretty much outran everyother rig we've had. Once i got me a nice reliable rig (my Dodge). I promised wify i'd build her blazer for her.
The Dodge was a steal for the most part. '87 W-250 with a 360....$400
went through about 2 quarts of oil a day out the back of the motor. Thought it was a rear mail seal, turned out to be the oil pressure sending unit. been doin good for a year. We been runnin it up and down the mountian untill a few weeks ago she developed the "death knock". Scored another 360.....same year with just under 31'000 miles on it, slapped some rings and bearings in it. Just broke it in this morning and recieved my rebuild kit for my tranny, NP435 (Granny-lo...only way to go!!!). Once the Dodge is back on the road I get to tear into wify's rig lol......and her damned fairy "theme".
So beings i have all the pic's of both project's on one file...that's why the dodge tag lol
if you wanna see some pic's of the dodge let me know...i'll post em
