Wow!  I used to live in Truckee years ago.  Had a 1965 Int. Scout as my winter/snow truck, with a 350 sbc and NP205 running gear (found it in a neighbor's backyard and put it back together).  Once winter there I picked up a 1962 Chevy Impala with original 327 motor for free, dug it out of a snowbank (my Dad's project).

Geez Louise Speed Ball, Slow Down! Looks like you'll have your truck finished and your Blazer not that far behind!!! :o :o  Trying to make some of us slow folk look bad :D ;) ;D   Only Kidding, Wish I could move that fast on a few of my projects!! 8) 8) Heck I can't even get out of the gate on a couple that need it the most (Sucks not having a Garage, and living somewhere they tell you no, when you stare at a car/truck for too long!):-[

I'm not going fast enough  per i just got the seat and i had to set them in the truck to see how they will look i still have to make some brakets so i can bolt them in the truck per they sit to high. What you did not see is there is no windshield and cluster and no drivers door per i haven't got one for it yet door had to wait when i found the seats  on craigslist for only $100 bucks and in the color i wanted if you can believe that! I still have to replace the bed for a fleetside per stepside not my thing still have to lower it still have alot of bodywork man i have alot to do better get to work :D
