Put 28 gallons of gas in it, and then probably burnt up 3 1/2 of them.

Why buy new when you can restore?

Put on 160mi :facepalm: That's a TON for 1 day!

Went to 2 junkyards. I had been to both and knew they had what I wanted. I went to both to get steering wheels/clock springs (SIR coil) for both trucks that have steering wheel mounted radio controls. :naughty: Both trucks will eventually get them, but the ZR2 will get it first because it is all apart anyways and it has a factory radio so the interfacing will be a breeze...hopefully.

In addition, I cut out a piece of a headliner from a Blazer that had an overhead console to use as a template for cutting mine (have to cut quite a bit to clearance for the console). Also got a new steering column cover set for the ZR2. Had to be picky because it is a 5spd and I couldn't get one from an auto with column shift so I found a Bravada with a floor shift.

I found a Blazer ZR2 in the one yard too so I'm debating going back for the fender flares and the ECM. The ECM is a 0411 and I'd like to use in it the Z71 someday, but I don't know if it will be compatible. Most guys I've read from say to get it from a Chevy Express (because it used the L31 motor), but I'd be reloading a tune file onto the ECM anyways.


Anyways, a very long and productive day finding parts! :thumbs:

I should take the ladders off of it before I go to the doc, but then I'd just have to come back home and throw them back on to go to work.
