I hope to have it mounted under the truck.  I need it running with the TPI before I throw the Turbo on there though...

hmm, I guess I should change the topic to TPI conversion not "Jimmy"  Anyway here are some pics:

I still wouldn't know where to begin.......  A part from this car and a piece from that car - starting to sound like the Johnny Cash's 54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63...... Cadillac automobile

Your Jimmy (Blazer) is looking good!!!

That's lookin good.

The pictures LIE   It needs some paint (especially the cab) and the top is NASTY looking and needs painting also.  The underside isn't any better.  It is in need of some serious patch repair.  It is a northern truck and the underside is really bad in some spots.  The previous owner had it repaired, and they welded patch panels OVER the existing spots.  There isn't any rockers on there, just the outer skin....

I attached a photoshop I had done of it and how I would like it to look.

That looks alright. What, no tinted windows?

Sunday January 27th, 2008:Put all the sensors on the Plenum, TB and the intake.  Started to bolt the runners down and didn't have any antisieze!  Went to the store to pick that up...
