    Hello, my name is William....

    I did some work on the C2500. The receiver was rusted in place on the hitch. I can only assume the truck was used to put a boat in the ocean since I bought it from the coast. There is no other rust on the truck. The hitch wouldn't come out so we chained it to a tree. A couple of tugs and this...

    Hello, my name is William....

    I can stop any time I want... So I was perusing Craigslist the other day and I came across an and for a 99 K2500 350 engine with a blown head gasket for $650. I went to look at it. I offered him $550. So it came home with me. Not a bad looking truck on the outside. The interior is a...

    Nothing new right now. I have been busier than a one armed paper hanger getting caught up on stuff that didn't get done when I was unable to stand. My wife has a full time teacher job now, which is great, but it means I have no help. I did managed to get some mechanized reinforcements. a...

    Did a small upgrade. I know it is not even. I had to make mounts to replace the ones that got lose. The holes needed to be slotted and I could not reach my friend with the machine shop, I will rectify it when he gets back from where ever he is.

    Things have been hopping. Steph got a new job teaching a special ed class. My oldest daughter moved in with us. Oldest daughter had to have appendix out. Lots of cars and scrap metal have been hauled. Back has been much better since the surgery. And much more.

    No big changes. I did have to put a better set of tires on it. The bicycle tires that came on it nearly caused a couple of interesting collisions when the truck refused to stop on dry pavement. I also bought a dump trailer. It wasn't all that happy to pull it home, but it did it. And I...

    Did some work on a buddy's 99 today

    After I chewed him out for doing too much and making his blood pressure spike he is doing better. I have gone down a couple of times and made him go sit down. Tell my ex wife that.

    WATCH THE VIDEO BEFORE YOU CALL> Truck has a blown head gasket. Body is near perfect. Interior is good. Clear title. Previous owner said he will meet with buyer to have the title notarized. If it doesn't sell it will sit till scrap prices go back up. Odometer does not light up so no idea on the...

    I'm 6'3". Steph is 5'2". A bench seat is a wonderful thing, as long as I am driving - which is 99.7% of the time. However, after surgery she had to drive me a good bit until the doc released me to drive myself. It was a good thing the transmission in the Blazer lasted till I was released to...

    Classic, no-nonsense look

    I may be a bit biased, but I think the GMT400 is the best looking of all the body styles.

    After having to hunt for air for a trailer tire that went low I decided to fix the problem. I snagged some scrap lumber. Some amp wire from a junk car, some screws, and turned them into a compartment for onboard air. I already had a compressor and tank so all I have invested in it is time.

    I stopped for gas Friday and I noticed the back bumper on BettyBlue had been hit and the rusted part had broken through. The bumper swap (and receiver hitch install) went flawless.We had to make 3 small changes to the bumper to make it fit the stepside. However, we made the tail lights mad...

    Last night I had to drive up to Statesville to look at a car with a friend. Old Betty started howling on the way back. With the dual glasspacks i couldn't really tell where it was coming from. I pulled the fill plug on the diff today. It took full 2 quarts. Hopefully it will be a bit quieter.

    Found the problem with the clutch today. I had to run to Wal-Mart and lost the clutch on the way there. Managed to get it back home. We started trying to bleed the clutch. Just as Steph said it was building pressure there was a pop and fluid came spraying out. PO had "fixed" a leak with...
