The Truck rolls out of the Barn..
 

Well I am real close to putting the new truck on the road. I have to work on the interior and tune the EFI. Then of course finish all the little stuff that I skipped along the way. But I am getting closer to working on the boat.. soon as the truck is running..
Here is a url to take a peak if you want. I think this will work.. let me know if it doesnt..

I want to see the boat not a truck!!!!!LOL:D :D :D

Ok.. there's a pic of the boat there too.. I will be adding some as I progress on the boat.
I changed the url.. this one should work with out signing in...

Flylevel..the boat has to be pulled by something to get it to the water... :D :D :D :D

nice job, both the truck and boat are loking good. I had a 90 jimmy with 35's , man i loved that rig.
wish i never would have sold it.:)

Thanks Man!!

Nice job on the truck! Where did you get the new motor? Are you actually going to have running boat to pull with it this year? :D

Have fun finishing it up. Doug

OH how i can relate.... minus the running truck...i gotta get the boat going first though... i'll just take HER truck...you gotta be happy with that... looks like you did alot of work there....and lookin good.

Mr.G

Dave

Looks great Mr. G!!
I wish my Blazer was looking that good :D

looks like fun winter project. helps keep your mind off winter.

Hey Thanks Guys!!!
I do apppreciate the complements.. The motor came out of a 71 Impala, long time ago. I have been saving it for this project. It is a four bolt main 400" and yes I put the TPI on it and will control it with an Accel ECU. It will be on the road this weekend for tuning if all goes well.
Thank you all for the positive remarks. My son was 14 when I bought the Impala for the motor and he is now 31... yeah I know.!!:rolleyes: :rolleyes: But it should be a good tow vehicle, I built it with low end torque in mind.
And yes Doug, I do plan on having a running boat this year, may not be able to use it because of the job, but I have quit jobs before for less reason!! :D :D
As I get more time, I will add to this group of pics. I plan on getting some in air shots of the boat on the water, running under it's own power..

Thanks again everyone!!

Dick

Mr- are you running the stock 4spd automatic tranny in that hotrod? Im running a 88 fully loaded Jimmy with a stock 350 TBI and while pulling (even with a shift kit) my shifts got real lazy until I put the biggest tranny cooler I could find on it (covers up about half the rad) now Im OK...........Doug

twinn29,
I am running the 700r4 transmission. A friend of mine rebuilt it. I have pulled my boat with my old Blazer (85) with 305 motor and never had any problems with the transmission. I will keep that in mind as I get into the drive time on this project. Just another gadget to monitor something..LOL. Thanks for the advice!!

Dick

Nice old Blazer. I always liked those years. Also cool fuel system on the boat. What kind of injection system is that? Let me know.
Thanks,
Dave
