Looks like you are doing a great job on the truck. Man, also looks like a lot of work but when you are done and you can say "I did it". Good work. Can not wait to see the finished product. Keep them coming.

Well, I am hoping to be working on it soon...  I am converting my 78 Jimmy to Tune port and I am trying to get my Crew Cab completed.

Looks tough! Mine is the same horrible blue. Were our trucks owned by the railroad or phone company or something?  :D
What color will yours be? I'm hoping to go black or black and silver. No offense if you like that blue........don't mean to offend.

I actually pieced this truck together from all the parts I had.  The bed was painted by the previous owner painted it that color.  When it is done it will be red like the logo for the website.

1) 78 Jimmy - converting to TPI
2) 91 Crew Cab - finishing the interior, when time allows...

3) 90 Suburban - Just finished rebuilding the TBI and got it running.  Will be starting on Interior
4) 86 Fleetside (73-87chevytrucks.com)- waiting for me to make a trip to Toolmasters house 80 miles away.

Quick question: Was that a 25 or a 31 gallon tank you swapped to?  Is the internal baffeling, the only thing that differentiates the TBI and non-TBI blazer tanks?  Considering this swap myself.
