Finally got Smokey out of the field and parked out front of the place. Pulled the gauge cluster to replace bulbs (4 or 5 out) ordered white LEDS. Had to glue down the copper strips that were coming loose.
Might as well lube the Speedo cable while it's disconnected right?? Here hold my beer.
Didn't know it was manufactured in Canada.

Not too surprising. My entire truck was built in Canada.

Sometimes that’s a great thing to do.

I think it was Clarkson that said (no matter what you think of him) “If you don’t stop and look back at what you’ve driving, you’re driving the wrong car” or something like that.

I love looking at my truck. Not as much as driving it, but I could still do it for hours.
Someone said that quote to me on here after I said something like feeling kinda weird about looking back at my truck in a parking lot but not being able to help myself.
It could likely have been you Chad.

I definitely feel this methodology is accurate now and recite this line to my family when they catch me looking. Lol

Took advantage of days of rainy weather and clayed the Blazer, then waxed and buffed. Smooth as glass now.

Didn’t know that! Just got back after taking the Blazer for a drive; would have had it dressed up as Brody’s Blazer if I had known. In fact, may do that after mowing.

Learn something new every day! After a little research, over half a million 83's were allegedly (no accurate numbers) made in Canada, if you have a vin starting in 2 it's one of them. Mine starts with 1.

Spent a little bit of time cleaning in the engine bay, and then I also shined the tires with McGuires "Insane Shine" foam. Then drove it out to watch my sons final sail for the week at sailing camp.
