Friday night, with Dave's assistance we got a little more work done on the Blazer.
Terry had started pulling the HP60 axle apart to figure out what is causing the pinion vibration, we finished the disassembly and then turned our attention to the rear axle.
Pulled the oilless shocks (not supposed to be

It's really not very thick material.

we were both pretty surprised at how thin the casting is here. Perhaps some additional protection is needed?Friday night, with Dave's assistance we got a little more work done on the Blazer.

Having a good time working with Kert in the shop.
Let's see, since the last post a few more things have gotten done.
To put the big tool box in, a cage tube had to be cut out. That has been put back together. Slugged the tube with smaller tube on the inside and used a "fish wire" method to move the slugs into place for welding.
Have stared filling the tool box with some basics. Simple socket set in one of those blow molded cases. Wrench roll. Some various vise grips and pliers and such in a zippered bag. Found a set of prybars for $25.00 that I thought could be handy. Today, I am going to get my spare 60 shafts and lockouts together. Probably bag those up. Start assembling a simple electrical "spares" bag as well. Relays, sensors, wire connectors and some wire. I have a spare MSD6A box that Phil at MSD should have shortly for a rebuild which will also find a home in the tool box. I don't have any fuses in the rig but self resetting circuit breakers but think some fuses my be helpful to somebody else on the trail.
After the bumpstop thread I decided to try some Timbrens and acquired a set of those. Fronts are on, they were a simple swap for what was there and may be pretty close on the adjustment. Rears are waiting in line for the rear axle to be completed.
Only about 14 items left on the to do list. Many of them, very small jobs.
Today I hope to weld up the 14BFF shave and get started on a diff cover.

Yes.
I also got the ball pein hammer, my very first one I ever owned repaired again and in the tool box. Just a hamer but given to me by my father when I was a young teenager.
Tracy knocked one off my list this morning already.
Sunshade or Bikini top or whatever you want to call it, had split the seems on the lower corners so she reinforced it with some webbing.
Now its a 5 min. Install. Held on the front edge with 4 of the original bolts that held the top on and an aluminum strip. Bottom corners tie in place with the para cord.

Setting up to weld the shave plate on.
Preheat..
Pulled the ring off to hit the inside and didn't watch the bounce when it hit the deck. OOPS>
Working ahead on the axle install. Some odd pieces here.
Currently the axle is wrapped and slow cooling. Be tomorrow before I can get any pictures of that.
