So, while I’m waiting for the new pan to arrive, I’d better get the motor mount in the RH side done. Pulled the motor mount assembly, but had to support the motor, which was tricky with no oil pan in place! This was my solution… a length of aluminum bar wedged between the head and chassis leg...

I’d also done some stuff last week that I forgot to post. In putting on the new timing chain cover, I tried hard to get it into place, but failed… I had to pull the oil pan… No big deal, pretty easy to do to get it sealed up right. I’d resealed the pan some 15 years ago, but this time I’ll...

Cranking hard on the K10. Continued on with replacing all old rubber mounts in the truck. Front cab mounts were cracked and sagging. I did the mid cab mounts already, so did the fronts. Left went pretty well, but the right fought me… you reuse the original bolts, and some of the washers and...

Yes. It’s high at 5300’ so cooler than Az in general. This is the report I read that outlined places that are liable for a correction. https://fortune.com/2022/03/02/home-prices-could-fall-housing-markets-corelogic-arizona-connecticut-mortgage-rates/ We were also told by locals that...

Thanks! Good info. I’ve had several fords over the years before I moved to the USA. My first car was a hand me down 1966 Ford Cortina mk1… later I had a Ford Sierra XR4x4, which I loved. I bought my Blue Alfa when I first arrived in the USA, in 2000… the plan was to take it back to Europe with...

Thanks. Took a break for a week to go explore where we plan to retire… But I started another thread for that story… Important part for here is I hope to build a 40x60 shop… Anyway, here is the link...

Just got back from a long weekend exploring in Prescott, Az. A few months ago I saw a report that named multiple places in the country that were flagged for a price correction because they were over inflated. Prescott was one. Prices seem to be waning slightly for sure. We looked at a bunch...

Hi, its a '73 K10 Pickup, but I have a '73 Blazer too, that I will get to later.. I started a build thread over on CK5 forum too, but I will check that one..

So I got onto the front of the motor. I have to repair the thread in the snout of the crank with a helicoil, and put on the new billet timing cover. Timing chain is it great shape as the motor was rebuilt about 20 years ago but only done maybe 15k miles. Mounted the AC compressor bracket. It...

All the AC system will be replaced as it’s old, and crusty. New evaporator arrived. New blower motor. Spotted that the sway bar bushing were toast so they will be upgraded to polyurethane too… I think that’s everything on the suspension is poly now.
