CA, as a fellow Chevy addict, you really dissapoint me...
But congrats anyway!
Skitzo's front axle is back together - Lock-right installed in front carrier, new axleshaft u-joints, all bearings greased and hubs reassembled. Have to still add diff fluid, bolt up the front driveshaft, put the brakes calipers and pads on, and then tires... which I have to find more jackstands to take the 38's off of the rear of the blazer and swap them with the donuts on Skitzo - because if I go ahead and put the front tires on first I won't be able to get the rear tires around it in the garage to put them on.
After that it is finish the heater controls, and time and tune the engine and ... take her for a drive around the yard/snow piles.
I really should find the extra exhaust tubing I have and extend that more reaward of the vehicle, it dumps out just behind the cab and underneath the battery tray and radiator - I'm thinking especially in the summer moving the exhaust away from the radiator may help in cooling. I should also investigate a fuel leak I can smell...
