O-CrapI did not know that was not an option. Somebody should of stopped me.
Smartass...
I was more talking about a big tubular roof rack to put jerry cans and stuff in, THEN mount lights to that.

Looking good, Ash. I like the idea a lot. 
that sounds like a good plan, then if, while towing they weren't 75mph friendly, they could be taken off and secured, instead of beating the hell out of everything while your not paying attn to your towload!
No truck progress to report but I did manage to get up to the lake.
No matter what other problems the blazer may have the convertible truck is always popular with the kids.

It'll happen and you'll be happy you didn't take the shortcuts I now regret.Someday I say.......someday
I like what you did with the top I might half to do that since im to poor to afford a soft top
I have to say it's worked out a lot better than I expected. I haven't put the soft top back on yet this year. It keeps the sun off but still open enough for plenty of air, plus it's quieter than a soft top in the same configuration would be (although not as easy to pull off).
I bought a half top I don't like it much and really like your idea and it looks beast
thanks man. I cut it specifically to give the back seat some shade too.
One of these days we should get together and check out the rigs.

HELL YEAH we should let me know when I cant this weekend im going out of town but any other should work
Got the engine pulled tonight. Crane worked out fantastic! plenty tall enough to clear the fenders.
Unfortunately, so far the engine is dirty as hell, but nothing screams "this is your oil leak".
The last shot is up at the rear main seal. It's as dirty as everything else, but I don't think that is where the leak is coming from.
There is a lot of seapage everywhere (especially around the fuel pump), but nothing jumps out as the source of all the oil that is coating the underside of my truck along the drivers side.
Would it be worth pulling the dist and trying to spin the oil pump to see if I can find it that way?

No expert or anything and correct me if im wrong but what I would do is spray down and clean the engine from oil dry it and wait overnight and you might find a the leak coming from somewhere. but I could and probably am wrong about it.
yeah, I'm going to clean it up good this evening, but it doesn't leak just sitting there so I don't know if that will reveal anything.No expert or anything and correct me if im wrong but what I would do is spray down and clean the engine from oil dry it and wait overnight and you might find a the leak coming from somewhere. but I could and probably am wrong about it.
I'm wondering if spinning the oil pump would help any.

Not sure but doesnt hurt to try.
Wish I was more help.
Looks wettest around the adapter for your oil pressure line. I'd bet that's your guy. Looks like the intake is seeping, and maybe the gasket around the distributor, but I have a feeling your drip is coming from there. I'd clean it up, plug the other end of that little line that goes to the oil pressure gauge and spin the oil pump and see what happens.
any advice on the best way to spin the oil pump? never done it before. 
Get a oil pump primer. It's like $18 and goes down in the distributor hole and you spin it with a drill.
