Hi Res Photos of the bad spots here: rubbermetalfuel.wordpress.com/2014/08/22/1972-chevy-blazer/

Up for sale is my 1972 Chevrolet Blazer. Newly rebuilt engine with maybe 5K miles, 700R4 trans, and a 208 transfer case. 12 bolt rear D44 front 3.73 gears. Sitting on 31x10.5R15s, NEEDS front drive-shaft, rear u joint problem solved, bleed the brakes, and fab up a shifter for the trans case and she will rock on down the road. Mind you, you can just drive it via the rear until you can have a front driveshaft made and a shifter for the tans case, as the trans case is in 2HI right now. I have installed a new core support, new inner fenders (one needs installed), a new tailgate, new carpet, and the original dash pad is in great shape. Needs rear floor and tubs but nothing too hard. Firewall has some rust and some rust in front floors. This is a 1972 K5 by the way! This is a factory AC truck comes with the box, compressor, and patches to fix rust on the box and has a tach from the factory. Comes with bucket seats, factory rear seat, Lokar shifter for the 700, and if I am correct in assuming a double wall top. Truck fires right up first time every-time. New rear spring packs made by the same place that built the drive-shaft, new brakes all around, talking shoes, hardware, drums, calipers, discs up front, reman booster and master cylinder, new 4 core radiator with electric fans, new belts, hoses, aluminum pulleys,  header plugs, dizzy with new module and coil, GM aluminum intake with a Rochester 4 barrel. This truck has long tube headers breathing out of purple hornies right under the floor, she is loud just to let you know. 

As I stated earlier, it will need a drive-shaft made for the front and a rear u joint. To be clear I used a cut-down 86 Blazer drive-shaft, professionally built might I add, and did not know until after I received it that it did not have the proper 1310 u joint needed for the 60ish to 72 4WD rears. It will be a simple job of pressing out the old u joint and obtaining a new u joint that will work in its place. About the brakes; my father and I bled them at least 5 or 6 times and it will do great for a few pumps then its back to being soggy and air is in the lines again. We are unsure of the reason for this. We have a new hard-line going all the way to the rear axle, new wheel cylinders, calipers, a reman booster and master cylinder. The only thing being reused is the proportioning valve and front hoses all of which seem to be in great working order. 

Any questions feel free to ask. Happy bidding!

Hot air balloons caught in high winds drag fullsize SUV

Mon, Jul 20 2015

A sudden storm front whipped up enough wind to send some hot air balloons flying into the air in Wisconsin over the weekend. One ballon proved so energetic that it was able to drag a fullsize SUV across a field and into a stand of tents. The freak accident occurred at Balloonfest in Waterford, Wisconsin. Spectators were horrified as balloons dragged handlers to the ground and launched with terrified pilots clinging to their baskets. Organizers had started packing up the colorful balloons due to ominous storm clouds when the wind kicked up. "Happened just like that; it was crazy," Nathan Fricke, crew member, told Fox 6. Winds were clocked at 40 to 50 miles per hour. A balloon caught in the wind dragged a large SUV (we think a Suburban or Yukon XL) hundreds of feet and into a cluster of tents on the edge of the staging area where balloons were on display for festival goers. Considering that the SUV surely weighs well over 5,000 pounds, it's lucky that no one was injured in the incident. News Source: Fox6Now Weird Car News Chevrolet GM GMC SUV

Want a V8 on the cheap? Buy a work truck

Thu, Aug 3 2017

In case you didn't notice, V8 cars have gotten pretty expensive. If you want a modern muscle car like the Dodge Challenger R/T, Ford Mustang GT, or Chevy Camaro SS, you'll need between $34,000 and $38,000 for a stripped out example of one. The cheapest of those is the Challenger, and the priciest is the Camaro. These are also the cheapest V8 cars the companies offer. But if you absolutely have to have a V8 for less, there is an option, work trucks. As it turns out, all of the Big Three offer their most basic work trucks with V8s. And because they're so basic, they're pretty affordable, especially when sticking with the standard two-wheel drive. A Ram 1500 Tradesman with a V8 can be had for as little as $29,840, which is a little more than $4,000 less than a Challenger R/T. For a bit more at $30,275, you can have a Chevy Silverado W/T, almost $8,000 less than a Camaro SS. The most expensive is the V8 Ford F-150 starts at a starting price of $30,670, which is a bit over $5,000 less than the Mustang. Of course you'll be in an ultra bare bones vehicle with few comforts, and the price will go up if you add stuff, but we're bargain hunting here, and sacrifices are sometimes necessary. Besides, what you lose in comfort, you gain in loads of cargo space and towing (try to look at the bright side). Also, as a side note, all three trucks are available with optional electronic locking rear differentials. At the discounted price of these trucks, you still get a heaping helping of power. The most potent of the trio is the Ram 1500 Tradesman with 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque generated by a 5.7-liter V8. Compared with the Challenger R/T, the Ram is up by 20 horsepower and they're tied for torque. The value proposition is even more stark between the two vehicles when looking at the price per horsepower. Each pony in the Ram costs $75.54, while the Challenger charges you $90.91. The Challenger is also more expensive per horsepower than its close competitors. The F-150's 5.0-liter V8 is just barely behind the Ram with 395 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. That's still more power than the Challenger, and it matches the torque of the 2017 Mustang GT. On the down side, it still would be down 20 horsepower on that same 2017 Mustang, and it's behind by 60 horsepower and 20 pound-feet on the new 2018 Mustang GT. The F-150 also just edges out the Mustang in the dollar per horsepower measure.

2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
