One more attempt today at the fog light connection and heater blower replacement weather permitting...

 

I put in a throttle body spacer (Power Raid) and while I had everything opened up I cleaned the throttle body and mass air flow sensor. Pretty simple to do and things seem to run a little bit better now.

Next up, clean all the garbage out of it.

 

Nabbed it from OilCountry?

Today I replaced the rear window lift shocks so it will stop trying to take my head off. New shocks rule, it practically lifts itself. Lifetime warranty too.

 

well i went to put my door handle on but only managed to get half s???faced on moonshine lol

 

Gotta hate it when that happens!

Only half, WTH? Must be cut to 40 proof!

I took the 14" fan out & replaced it with 2 12" fans - what a pita that was, my arms feel like I was playing tug-o-war with my rotti, all scraped up etc.
Changed the oil & now going full synthetic. Replaced the crappy old ballasts with new slim ones - no more flicker & hoping it stays lit when I start it. Easy way to remedy that was to flick the high beams on & off but thats a PITA.
Tomorrow will be cleaning out the interior & HEY I just realized we made it through May 21st - End of the World around suppertime so says the Christian broadcaster Harold Camping.

Wooo hoooo CHEERS! lol

 

Sold my blazer...... Sad day, I wanted to cry and I am not sure why.....

It was sad seeing her go....

 

OMG Will!
Perhaps it's because it has been a part of your life, your DD, something you've worked on, tweaked & made yours.
You're here because of your blazer, made some friends, lots of chat & information all because of the blazer.
I know the feeling my friend, I was sad seeing my '64 rambler ambassador 990 go down the street (my 1st vehicle btw). I actually walked out on the road & watched it drive away .

Hell my gf named my blazer lol, it's akin to a pet, part of the family. OK we both did, she called it a cranberry blazer & I thought she could not have picked out a gayer name so I modified it to CB . That being said - it's part of the family as I think yours was to you.

ummm my condolances?!

 

Replaced the brakes at all four corners today.
The rears turned out to be a project, 3 of the 4 pins were frozen in place. Had to replace 2 and drill one out. Plus I had to grind the new pads mounting ears down so they would slide in the bracket.
Lubed up the hinge pins on all four doors too.

200,000 miles and still going strong.

 

Started on debadging the truck and realized Chevy used about 3 tons of goop under the side emblems. I don't have enough goo gone for this, I'm going to have to figure something else out.

Perhaps a rubber eraser wheel would be best.

 

Many have used fishing line in a see-saw motion with good results.
