Hopefully...
« on: January 10, 2011, 09:52:36 pm »


1974 K5, I'm waiting for my insurance check from the Yukon so I can fork out the $1200.

She's runnin a 350/350/203. If I can land her I'm lookin to throw a 205 or 208 T-case. Its up 4", but its blocks in the rear, that's gonna be remedied in short order.



I'll keep y'all updated

That is one model I wouldn't mind having myself.  Have to love the full removable roof.

I've been playing phone tag with my insurance company for a week now, finally got a representitive on the phone today and found out that my check is being mailed tomorrow.

I tried to get ahold of the seller but he didn't answer. I really want to hook this up, these trucks don't pop up running for less than 2500... the waiting is the killer.

No such luck.  :( I'm not gonna see my insurance check until at least Monday and the blazer found a new home today.

I did come across a 77 dually that I'm gonna go see this weekend. Its been sitting since 2006, I'm gonna have to go thru the engine, but the price is right so we shall see. I just need to find a place to do the work. My apartment management my frown on me rebuilding an engine in the parking lot.

1977 GMC, C35. 454/TH400 184k on her, parked 5 years ago, not sure why.

i remember rebuilding a carb when i was 17 and a freshman in college in my dorm.  Now, most college kids know absolutely nothing about rebuilding anything car-related.  They know how to call a mechanic for everything though.  
I yanked off my carb from my '68 mustang one day in a matter of minutes and had it in my dorm on my desk to rebuild it.  I puzzled everyone that i could do that--all nerdy type mind you. My room mate from New York didn't appreciate the gas smell for a while, oh well.  Just as quick i had that stang fired up purring like kitten.

Up until a couple years ago Az didn't acknowledge MLK day, I always forget.

I have an upstairs apartment, I'm strong but not hauling an assembled Rat up and down 13 stairs strong. If I do this at home it'll be a one day job on a Sunday, brutal but I've done stupider things in apartments.

i recall that...they were the last one to accept it after federal money for roads would be witheld had AZ not joined the rest of the country.  Heck, they still don't recognize daylight savings time.  What is it about AZ?

In Va, we got Lee/Jackson Day out of it.  I had Friday off and will have Monday off in recognition of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson Day then MKL day on Monday. gotta love the 4-day weekends.

I'm not sure what this states deal is with it and a whole bunch of other things, no daylight savings either..

There's been speculation that what finally broke them for MLK day was NFL players threatened to not play in the Superbowl... but who knows.

the best thing in AZ is in Maricopa County, Sheriff Joe Arpaio---my hero!
I do like what AZ was trying to doing against taller odds reference illegal immigration...they are on top of matters there in my humble opinion.

Oh, and i failed to mention, my sub came from Scottsdale, AZ nearly 6 yrs ago, no rust whatsoever www.delbridge.net/suburban
