Howdy y’all! Long time no see. Just wanted to give a little update on my projects. To be honest, this is somewhat of a “work-list” for myself, and I figure if I start posting about it I’ll be more inclined to continue work and updates! Feel free to leave a comment on how you’ve been doing/what you’ve been working on, I’ve missed y’all!
Anyways,
Number 1, 1978 Blazer:
749EA1AD-D8B4-40C8-B87B-46B42897A1AB.jpeg

This is my most important project to get out of the way. It’s also been the biggest pain in the rear of my entire life. I’ve “finished” this truck multiple times. Currently, the blueprint 383 has a blown head gasket and is mid-tear down. Gotta slam it back together and get it driving again.
Number 2, ‘67 Fury III “Blue Moose”:

Just got my baby back from storage in Ohio. Not much needed to be done here, but after driving it around town a bit I’ve noticed it has intermittent charging issues... still. This has been a problem since the electrical fire when I was sixteen. Just fixed the ‘74 C10. A frame rivet had cracked causing the left hand frame horn to move with the steering. Removed the rivet and replaced it with grade 8 hardware. Also replaced the ignition system. Now all it needs is an alignment.
Number 3, ‘66 Fury VIP “Rush”
133ECF41-D77A-482F-B33F-CDF3987E0CF4.jpeg

Need to install rear yoke of new trans and fire ‘er up! Also need rollcage and wheelie bars.
Number 4, ‘68 W300:
F3C81A9B-C497-4A92-88BD-FA84B21304F6.jpeg

Needs a new cab (which I have) and complete mechanical restoration. Not likely to be done any time soon, but thought I’d share.
Number 5, ‘06 Chrysler 300 SRT-8
F5C2EA2E-04A2-4A1F-9C78-474ED32E2BDA.jpeg

My newest SRT after the Ram and Neon. She’s cammed with headers. Talk about an awesome daily! All it needs is new tires in the rear...
:steering:
Number 6, ‘66 Sport Fury 383/4 speed (Mary):
Needs the floor put in it, transmission rebuilt, and a new engine. The original 383 is cracked. Have a 440 and stroker kit still laying around. We shall see.

Maybe I’ll show some of dads projects later (mostly Power Wagons).

So what do you do in your spare time? :rofl:

Those are cool projects! :thumbsup:
 
Thanks, those are some awesome projects. What are the 2 beauties in picture 3 behind the 66 Fury?
The red truck is an M37, the car in primer is a ‘49 (I think) Dodge, that’s getting a built 318 Poly and will be for my mom, and the green truck is a Dodge Town Wagon that I’m not sure on the year.

I'm glad you're back. Public accountability huh... Have you figured out why it only needs back tires...?

Current theory, yet to be proven, is that it’s possibly due to the very long black stripes left somewhere on a backroad in Mexico.
 
Good to see you're doing well, and have plenty of stuff to keep you busy.
 
Had a little break in the weather so I decided to have some fun and see if I could get my W300 to run. Success!
 
I love the Blazer, but that W300 looks interesting. What is the story with it? Was it an old wrecker or pulling truck in a past life?

To be honest, I’m not sure. My best guess is that yes, it was a pulling truck. I bought it from Ric Tudor, a well known member of the PW community, a while back. He had no information on the truck, and it was more rough than he would like to restore. Whatever the truck did in its past life, it beat it silly.

There is a rat’s nest of wiring and a switch panel that I will investigate later on. It may give more info into the trucks past life.

Pics for size reference... it’s big. I’m 6’5”.
