New plow truck got new plugs and wire, cap, rotor, and Jacobs electronics ignition system that woke that truck up in a big way! Also saw a slight improvement on mileage.
Sold the Blue and white Suburban.
Sold the Plow Blazer (without plow.)
Sold the plow from the blazer.
Ordered 5200# axles for my trailer -
White Spruce beat 6 Robbles price by about $300 and included new springs with the axles and electric brakes! I highly suggest going to talk to Ron at White Spruce if you need trailer parts.
This mostly leads to the fact that I have funds to rebuild the Blazer!
Next step is to take apart the 454 to check for wear and the need to or not to do machine work and rebuild.
Then assemble trans and doubler kit (203-205)
Need to rebuild the front axle (have lock-right on the counter)
Then strip current engine and trans out of blazer
Strip interior out of the Blazer - fab full roll cage
With engine out - do a lot of cleaning and minor body work and paint - inside and out
Install engine, trans, t-case and interior
Then fab front and rear bumpers plus some rock sliders / steps.
And possibly replace tires on for better on-road characteristics.
Goal was to attempt to be done with all this by my birthday - but I'll be happy if it's ready to go by May 1 - in time to do a few test runs before Meet N Greet.
