Update - As of monday the truck suffered some setbacks due to playing in the mud. Left rear tire hit a concrete
block and suffered a sidewall puncture. The front suspension gave out and is now being currently replaced with 4 rancho shocks
up front. I'll be getting the 33" cooper dominator series tires all the way around over the next 2 months. Brakes are going
to get replaced as well as the ebrake. Hopefully I"ll be putting my Buddy's 1990 blazer 4x4 on the page.
UPDATE as of last night 07/16/06 the truck suffered serious setbacks. The carb caught on fire last night and the ensueing
fire pretty much wiped out the top part of the engine, wires and lines were burnt pretty bad. The air filter is non existence
due to the fire, the carb itself is non useable as is the intake for it. The hood was burned pretty good and there are now
spots on it where the bare metal is showing. The plug wires and distributor look ok but wont know till i pull them out and
inspect them. The rest of the truck is ok as the fire was pretty much contained in the engine compartment. I dont know
much more at this point will keep ya updated with new info as i start to work on it.
08-21-06 sorry for not updating quicker i been getting stuck in the mud.on the 2nd of august i bought a 1985 chevy suburban.
for the 1977 truck its been down on the side of the house untill i can get money for repairs to replace the front end and
the tie rods, ball joints, and steering componets are screwed. but I will be putting pictures and videos on the site
with some new information as well.

This is my 1985 suburban thats stuck in some serious mud..the burban has 33"tires on it with no lift and its about 3
feet off the ground due to the suspension and tire's..guess how deep the mud is lol

This is me being stuck again....the picture speaks for itself...and yes we got it out of there

January 21st. - My buddy with the blazer broke his rear axel not too long ago. The suburban also blew the transmission.
The 77 still needs a top end, but things are coming together. My buddy upgraded and now has a 3/4 ton rear axel on the back.
I will soon have another transmission. Come springtime I will be repairing both chevy's and hopefully even get my 82 silverado
back to Colorado.
