74 dirty c rough weekend with a smile....

[sreidmx]

Used the metal squirt gun to get some things glued together.

Finally got the old steering off the axle. What a pain that was until Jesse busted out the right tool! Buzzed out the last stud with an extractor because the pound and heat method failed on the last cone washer.
Today we'll have the brackets on and welded and hopefully mocked up links!

I have all brand new seals for the hole blazer but this one is great shape....
the blazer I got it off was so clean it should be restored and not parted out.... but too late now check out how clean this interior is on 1977


what a waste

 

[F.S.F.W]

Why is it getting parted out???

 

[bergerking]

the guy only needs the frame... he has a 75 ( no smog In California ) so everything goes.... besides faded paint there's no dents no rust that I could see.... it almost hurt my feelings knowing it's basically scrap....
