    Old77’s Oldest Kid’s 1992 S10 Blazer thread

    Well, we’re in a real pickle now :rolleyes: We got everything together over the weekend, but couldn’t get everything 100% buttoned up until tonight because of waiting on parts to arrive that broke along the way due to 32 year old plastic wonderfulness. First startup, the positive is no oil puff...

    Nice job sticking to that, Zach! What you did there was no small task and is the reason I'd had taken it to a shop and paid for their experience but you stuck it out and no doubt learned a ton. Good job :High 5:

    See vacuum line circled in red. Can I replace these with just regular, rubber vacuum hose? Due to age, we’ve had a couple crumble to pieces on us and I’m not finding OEM style replacements

    Yes. There was an o-ring style on there before. I posted the same question on the KC Squarebody group cuz there are some knowledgeable folks there, too, and was told to just use the umbrella seals and not double up on umbrella and o-ring.

    Only been able to hit this job and hour at a time, but finished up drivers side today. Took us about 4 hours between taking valve covers off and replacing the seals. Will start on passenger side tomorrow morning for a couple of hours. Those old seals were rock hard and crumbled as soon as we...

    Helping my oldest replace valve stem seals on this 4.3 in his S10 blazer. Using the umbrella seals. Question, do we use the umbrella seals AND the o-ring or just the umbrella seals?

    Nice squarebody on BaT

    At the point a vehicle has been "restored" or even significantly messed with then the original mileage no longer even matters IMO At that point, it's time to look it over real close to make sure what's been messed with and the full package of the vehicle is worth the price it's being listed for.

    Nice squarebody on BaT

    And for someone who is paying what I'd consider top dollar I'm surprised that the truck wouldn't be more highly scrutinized. I nitpick a truck a LOT higher when I'm paying top dollar for it than when I'm getting a deal but maybe others don't do the same or maybe what they consider "top dollar"...

    Nice squarebody on BaT

    Yeah, He's had a few really nice squares that were built by hot rod ranch down in Texas. I remember him from the old forum days, too. He always had sick trucks!

    And every time I delete one word, it goes back to the first page on the list (there’s 23 pages). I’ve deleted a bunch but it takes a lot of time to make any real progress. :rolleyes:

    Dingle is now allowed. The issue is that I can only remove one at a time and there are a LOT on that list :whymewhyme:

    I have an honest question as I've not seen this be done before. Instead of the axle half shaft can't you just run a 2wd hub if you've essentially turned your righ from 4wd to 2wd whether it be for a short term or long term?

    No doubt! I'd LOVE to get into a 67-72 but rotten junk is 1,500 - 3,000 on those trucks. Anything reasonably solid is near 10k and higher. I ran across one on Marketplace a few months back. Literally, not a panel on the truck that didn't have cancer in it and needed full drivetrain. Asking $4k...

    I'm always leery about short bed conversions as I can only imagine the hackery that may lie underneath that thing depending on the skill level of the seller. And why would you pick a C20 or C30 to convert to shortbed rather than getting a 1/2 ton if that's what you're going to do?

    Yeah, I was thinking 2,500 to 3,000 is the appropriate range. I figured I'd wait to see if the guy drops it near $3k and then start hitting him up at seeing if he' take $2100 and go from there LOL
