New guy from Delaware
« on: June 13, 2013, 11:47:26 am »
Hello all, finally decided to join the forum after lurking around for a few weeks. Definitely will say have found all of the answers I was needing just browsing around here more than the other chevy forums I tried joining.  I have been out of the gas motors for about 7 years and trying to get back into them more now. But current project is a 1977 K-5 blazer with the 400 sbc and picked it up for a decent price, but my other bowtie products are back home in Arkansas 93 k1500 5.7 manual trans, and 72 c-10 with 383 stroker and built trans.  Looking forward to learning more tips and tricks for the blazer and heres a few pics.

Thanks, after 9 months I have to still adjust to not being in Texas, and having huge groups, meets, and shows to attend and the worst part is all the parts I find on CL up here are just for stock rims, Tx had everything I need to get the beast road worthy again

Welcome from Central California.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

Thanks, It is pretty straight just needs the panels aligned up better than the PO had them, getting rid of all the mickey mouse wiring in it, only bad part on it is a small rust hole in passenger floorboard, which is getting replaced this weekend.  Everything else that needs to be fixed is small stuff I can find on CL if i look in bordering states.
