Rear Window
The old gasket on the rear window was dry rotted and had about a 1" gap in it.
Replacing it wasnt easy as we had never done any window work before.

63 GMC Grill
I found an old 63 GMC Grill on the Craigslist for $40, so I snagged it up. It looks pretty cool, as the previous owner put a homemade tube grill in it.
I have yet to find an auto parts store that carries 5-1/2" headlights, tho.
Also found a Ranch Hand bumper that I have to modify a bit to fit. It came off of a Tundra.

Pesky Shackle Angle
The rear shackle angle was bothering me, so I went ahead and fixed it to the best of my knowledge.
Let me know if anybody thinks its wrong.
Sincet there is no such thing as a "lifting shackle" for a Chevy......I got a "lowering shackle" from BellTech and put it on after I changed the spring hangers out.

Choppin the bed.
The Blazer's wheel base was 8-1/2" shorter than the C10. Plus.....we slid the cab back to make the front wheels fit better inside the wells. Too my luck......this turned out perfect, because we didnt have to modify the steering shaft any.
I ended up cutting 10-1/2" out of the bed. I was wanting to bob the rear of the bed, but it looks like I can only bob it an inch.....and that is way too much trouble! Trust me!
Found some bondo in the bed. That stuff is highly flammible and doesnt weld up very good!
Refueling with an ice cold sports beverage.

Exhaust
Old truck is gonna need to relieve itself, so I got some ceramic coated Flowtech headers, Thrush Turbos and used 2-1/2" EMT for pipe.
I found out that the Flowtechs dont boltup very well. I had to cut the flanges in 4 spots to get them to match the ports.
I used donut gaskets instead of header gaskets, hoping that they seal up and last longer.

Messin around
I was tryin to think of something to use for a shift knob, so I got out some old horns and played around a bit. Not sure if it will stay like this.

Steering arm
With the lift, the steering arm was at a severe angle, so I bought a Pro Comp 4" steering arm for it.
Conicle washers are not for people that dont own a big hammer or not have any patience.
