    Great video! FYI at 23:04 my stock 1983 Impala is grounded from the battery to that same bracket. I want to see how you change it around. Thanks!!

      Yes I’ve had it on a few of my vehicles that way too. Also, in various other locations in the engine bay. What I came across is either really hard starts or the car would not start at all due to a bad ground. Once I moved directly to the engine block from battery it resolved the issue.

    For the exhaust leak I only reccomend remflex gaskets they are thick and seal better that all the rest worth the money to do it one time. Gotta get a fan shroud on there if you wanna drive it no shroud will lead to overheating, that thermostat housing looks the be leaking as well. Good luck I will be staying tuned in

      Thanks for the rec. I’ll look into those and what I have as he gave me a set. I’m actually going electric fans. I have a set a sponsor gave me they fit this truck. I’ll be doing a video of that in the future. I’ll check the thermostat as well. This Blazer is leaking in a few places. Lol!

    It's got the wrong hood and grill. The 73 has a single headlight on each side. LMC will fix you up with the proper door handle parts. That tailgate is gold. Keep it. Better to just cap it just in case you want to put a hard top on it. Otherwise, nice ride. I have a 74. Had a 73 and a 72 (my favorite)

    • @MrGriffin23
      @MrGriffin23  Рік тому +1

      Thank you! Yes, I know this. It has a 89-91 front clip. This was a pretty well known swap. I actually like it a lot as there aren’t any in my area like this. Wife doesn’t want a top on it. However, we might make a custom Bikini top sometime down the road. For now I’m just trying to attack the much needed suspension, mechanical and other issues it has first to get it on the road.

      @@MrGriffin23 Re: Tailgate, I suggest making a cap. If you go to sell it, the new buyer may want it and, as I know, they are very hard to find. I agree with you, the center console needs work, However, I love the buckets! They look really good. Check out Dakota Digital for a new gauge cluster. Welcome to the K5 family.

      @@bibleortraditions Appreciate it! I’ll look into it as well. Thank you! We’ll make some mods to the rear seats as they are a bit tall. Front seats we’ll have to raise for the wife. I have a plan for the center console. The dash we’ve already purchased an Autometer LCD Digital Screen. It’s pretty slick.

    When you flip those leaf springs your your rearend will bounce up in down on the frame . You will need to notch the frame for a better ride💪💪

    • @MrGriffin23
      @MrGriffin23  2 роки тому +1

      Ok. I’ve heard that could be a possibility. My buddy flipped his and and doesn’t hit the frame. I think he just took the bump stop out. However, I’ve heard others who have hit it. I would imagine if I took leaf’s out I might hit it tho.
