Lost third gear in the transmission. Ran good for about a week then when I was running some errands it was not shifting into high gear. I think it is the electric kickdown but I am pissed at the truck so I am concentrating on the Chevelle.

The patient is in good shape again. Disconnected the kickdown and third came back. I am going to a pull a part in a couple weeks and I will look there for a good one. Now I can do my scrap steel run.

it is actually 2 20 gallon tanks on the truck. One is on the left and the other on the right side.

I usually fill up the pig in Michigan so 40 gallons X 3.60 is $144.00 and actually the 20 gallon tanks on these trucks are closer to 21 or 22 gallons.

Okay went to a pull a part near Sarnia. Okay not really a pull a part but the owner is a friend and he lets me wander around and get my own small parts.

I scored a complete interior trim except headliner, 98 Blazer rear mirror with map lights, and a GMC leather wrapped stearing wheel for $40.00.

But for now done. Suspension wise.
