    What new tools have you got lately?

    Got this RivNut tool today. My Ford buddy had bought bedside cleats for his truck with the cheesiest POS hardware for installing the rivet nuts, which of course did not work. Having used the correct tool in my past life I went ahead and bought this one. Works perfectly!

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Finally got back around to the Blazer and finished up the bed rail caps. These were for 73-87 C/K trucks but the contours are correct for the Blazer too. Just have to cut to length and trim in around doors. I originally thought I’d get them covered in the same vinyl used on the seats but after...

    Sealing intake manifold?

    Yes. I’ve seen multi-million dollar machines fired up after maintenance, only to be shut down due to unexplained leaks. Proper sealants and torques had been used but new fasteners were a bit too long. They installed and torqued fine but provided very little clamping force as you were torquing...

    Ford 460 project

    Keelan and I went on a road trip to Maryland to look at a 77 Ford in running condition that will accept the 460 engine when it’s ready. Brought this beast back on a trailer pulled by my F350. It’s a 1977 with a 400 with C6 and modified NP203 transfer case, 3” lift with lockable hubs. Seems...

    Chuck’s engine build thread!

    Did that years ago firing up my 69 Boss 302 after rebuild. Still smelled like burnt hair the next day at work. Thank God for eyelids…..

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Before the heat made me stop (even inside the shop with fan going I was dripping salt water all over my Blazer) I started fit up of my bed rail caps. The bed rails are all buggered up from the top being installed and removed over the years. I initially wanted to get them fixed and painted but...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    When I pulled the distributor to remove the intake manifold I found a wiring mess at the distributor. I posted earlier about the one harness, which I replaced. The other mess was for the 12v power and tach wire. Ordered the correct connector with pigtail, soldered, shrink wrapped and sleeved the...

    What are you going to use for start up oil Chad @ChuckN? Are you adding a zinc supplement?

    Yep. I had a limit and stuck to it. Told the wife I’m bummed I didn’t get it but happy I didn’t pay that much. More bucks for my awesome Blazer!

    One thing I’m not sure of is the black instrument bezel. I think that should be woodgrain for the Cheyenne trim.

    Seller “believes” the trucks paint is original, never re-sprayed. Today he posted several pictures of paint thickness readings from around the truck, which were all fairly close. I am not sure how to determine if it’s an original paint or re-paint though. Was hoping someone here with paint and...

    Did a valuation on the Hagerty site. I’d estimate its condition to be Excellent but not Concourse. Haven’t bid yet but got the OK from the wife.

    A man after my own heart, lol. When I bought the Blazer it had a bunch of high-end (at least to me) stereo stuff in it. I removed all of it, sold it and installed a simple AM/FM radio and a new dash mounted speaker.

    I agree. I told the wife probably around $40k.

    This truck has definitely caught my attention. Looks to be in great condition, factory 454, unmolested, lots of documentation. I am considering bidding on it to go along with my Blazer. What would you guess it would sell for? https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-chevrolet-c10-pickup-32/
