Good luck with it Chris. So is there a drivers license in your near future?

You might need a job to help pay for the vehicle restoration.

Nice to see you hang onto the other truck. It's a nice one. :thumbs:

Well since I sold some quads, I am only down to one and that has a plow on it. So theres really no need for another one. And I got some extra room after selling some stuff even tho I need to sell a few more horses because I dont want them to sit over winter. And thanks Chris :thumbs:

[Coadster32 793]

Chris, FYI- I gave your number to a guy at work about your quad for sale. Not sure if he called you, and not sure if you still have one for sale. His name is Kyle.

[WHC-125 4]

I dont have anymore quads for sale. Just a dirt bike. Sorry Chris

Congrats on the new Pick m up Chris. I'm partial to this yr. Chevy myself.

A few yrs. ago I had this 86 Chevy Blazer. It had a 305 in it as well, to begin with that is. Out came the 305 and 4 spd auto. In went a 1970 LS6 454 with an honest 500 hp. (and I do mean honest) with a turbo 400. Out came the wimpy half ton axles and in went the 1 tons. I used to enjoy surprising people at the stop lights.

If I only still had this rig, ole Stevebo wouldn't have a prayer pullin me on the big hills on the way to the BIG show. The beauty of this rig is it was 100% reliable and I would go anywhere with it. It also rode like a new truck.

Thanks for bringin me back. Now go take some pictures already.

[WHC-125 4]

Ken, thats a nice Blazer! What did you have as far as lift and tires? And heres some pics of new the truck and my first one.

Heres when it was just dropped off

And today

Lastly, my first truck.

[Ken B 3,116]

Your truck looks like she is rearin to get to work pushin some snow! I spent many hrs behind the wheel of an 87 just like it (injected 350 under hood) pushing snow.

My Blazer had a total of 12 inches in lift. In the picture it has 36 inch tires on it. I also had a set of 44's for it, hense the need for big block power.

[ducky 1]

if your looking for parts for your new truck or or other one check out LMC truck they have almost every thing.

[Suburban 550 28]

Good Luck with your new set of wheels, Chris. :thumbs:

[WHC-125 4]

Thanks guys! And Ken yeah I know but I am going to fix her up a bit before that. And ducky, I have bought from LMC many times thanks anyways

[WHC-125 4]

Well I made some progress on the truck and got the bed off and started sanding down the frame. I am thinking about going the route of building my own flatbed for it. Let me know what you guys think

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,041]

No flat bed !! Find a good condition used bed. They are out there. By the time you spend all the $$ to build the flatbed out of I assume wood you can find a good bed. :thumbs:

[WHC-125 4]

A member here might be helping me with a flatbed so were gonna see what happens. Steve, you should know me well enough by now that I have connections :thumbs:
