  • I picked this K5 Blazer up from a salvage yard where it had been parked for 20 plus years due to a failed leaf spring. Other than the fan being removed along with the fan shroud and the rear brake drums it is fairly complete. It was parked due to failed rear leaf springs is all!

    Now that I watched to whole thing, that 400 small block is the best of both worlds. Lots of torque and spins up pretty good. They make really good street rod engines with modified good heads. I use tooth picks for brush holders, what I learned back in my dealership days. Great video and I like Duff! Thanks again, just what the Doctor ordered. That and some Evan Williams!

    Easy my friend well not always easy but here’s how I get out seized shackle bolts! Cut the head of the bolt off however you can then on the thread side use the nut and some washers put as many washers as you possibly can but leave room for the nut and at this point I’m sure you can see where I’m going with this! Keep adding washers as you have room and it will be like a press eventually you will pull it all the way out using its own threads🤓 also I watch you in my shop right now I’m rebuilding a transfer case also making it so called bulletproof lol we know that’s bs but does make it way stronger thx for the time and effort put into giving us something to watch 👍🏻

We don't have any problems with your 🐕 in the front seat! Your dog is a member of your family and has a right to ride with you! I had a cat that absolutely loved going for rides with me in my 1973 datsun 620 pick up..it was loud and proud without a manufactured catalytic converter!! I spent over$ 3,900 on restoring it.

    Freshen it up and send it down the road. Use the proceeds to grab the next square body you find with the plaid seats. A buddy and I had matching Blazers with plaid seats back in the early 90s.
