Pull my hair out!!!!
Gave the tow rig some loving today. Front wheel bearings,upper and lower ball joints, new front rotors, calipers and pads, drag link, pitman arm, tie rod ends, and front springs. Tomorrow she goes to the alignment shop. She drives great. 
Next week she gets new back drums and shoes. She ought to tow the blazer to the bash real nice this year.

Both completed today. Also gave all the greasable shackles and drive shaft a shot of grease.
Just need a little grinding on the front diff cover to match the shaved center and I'm ready to rock

I just finished up my round of repairs/mods so I'm set to go. My front end is now 20" narrower and 150lbs lighter
That's the cleanest narrowing job I've seen on a first gen, nice work.

Oh yeah, I have to recharge the A/C 
That reminds me, have to install AC lines in the Jimmy. Fix AC in the semi.
Going to buy inner axle seals for the superduty now.
Going back together after lunch.
Just dropped the freighliner off to get a bunch of crap sealed on it. Leaks were bad. $3800.
But we had it in ten budget.

Dang...how much RTV did they use
Cat C-12. The front cover on the engine has to come off. It covers all of the dive gears. So everything on the front of the engine comes off. Plus new PS hoses. Oil change and some other little things.

Cat C12 front structure, notorious for leaking. And eating camshafts.

What sucks is, it's just leaking right at the base. But bad enough I want it fixed.

Not a bad engine. Just a couple things like that to watch out for.
