Took it for a drive today. Heat is not working, although I replaced the thermostat and repaired the broken wire. The top hose heats up but the bottom stays cold. Gauge isn't moving at all.

Ended up replacing the thermostat. I guess it was just a faulty one. Brought a 190 degree Failsafe from Autozone. Finally got heat. It's not great, but its there. Im guessing the heater core needs to be flushed. The temp is reading this so far, but it keeps fluctuating alot. Guessing there is still air in the system? I let it run with the radiator cap off and re filled it some to replace the lost coolant when i replaced the thermostat.

Turns out the gasket that came with the original thermostat housing was not technically the right one. There's a rubber o ring that sits underneath the thermostat, and i found that out by watching this:
Went out and got that along with a new radiator cap. Right now i am letting some of the air out of the system, adding coolant and repeat. Temps are hovering around 210 now so i'm happy. A few more times and a test drive to confirm.
Also got the new tires mounted. I'm going to balance them at work tomorrow.

The build is moving along well. My next investment is probaly going to be headlights and step bars.

Subbed. Nice truck. I'm looking for a 2 door myself, either blazer or tahoe. Love them.

Nothing much to report, been driving her daily to work. However i recently got Covid. So now while I am recovering, I am able to spend a little time ordering some parts for the truck.
I got a cowl hood coming, and the 2 patch panels just came in for the 2 rotted areas just behind the doors. Seems to be a common area on these.

The plan is to get these in, and have the rest of the body work done. I was quoted 1k for everything. Not too bad. Once the body work is finished, I will have the truck re painted. Same colors.

The cowl hood I had ordered came in just now. Unfortunatly it has 2 dents. Summit will send another one free. Cowl hoods look so good on these 2 doors!
I also pulled the amp, sub and wiring. I ordered OEM radio, tape deck and the bezel it fits in. I beleive I also need the factory amp too?
