I wish that traffic had been a lot lighter, you could have shown that maroon (Bugs Bunny word) in the extreme something. haha.

And once again I am slack about keeping this thread updated!!!!
I just realized that I have had the coil-overs for over a year and not installed!! I have been working on my other car.
I did get the truck to the track once, It was getting false knock and I haven't had time to research the cause. And now it will be stalled again because I'm getting ready to build a garage to store all my projects in.

Sorry again for the delays, I have been working on another project to make it to a 35th reunion car show last weekend, now that's over and it is time to get back to the truck!!! Yes the truck is still running....ish..... I put the coil-overs in but I have a problem with them. They are a bit too short, I can only guess is that the 2nd gen Blazer uses a longer shock. So I had to run the springs pretty tight and it rides like a Pogo-stick. That seems to have destroyed the upper joint on the shock. So I guess for the time being I'll be putting the torsion bars back in so I can drive it again. It's time to get to some maintenance issues that I have been neglecting like the missing prop-shaft, leaking hydro-boost lines and the failed wide-band O2 sensor.

WOW its been way too long. Believe it or not it is still alive, sort of. Blew a head gasket a couple years ago and left it sit for over 2 years. I put in cometic head gaskets and ARP head studs and got it back up and running. It is showing a little wear and tear and needs a lot of work. Rear end is singing front end is banging but it runs damn good.
However I have acquired an actual Syclone (2129) from Brassmonkey. I have been spending a little time getting it the way I want it. I will be bringing the SY to the Shootout in May. Hope to see a lot of you there!!!!!
