Put some white grease on the wing windows... wow what a difference...

I think I stopped a horrible squeek.. The passenger side latch on the Blazer hatch has broken fiberglass and I htink that was the casue.. I just put a screw in it so it can't move...

Just installed a new front bumper, I can' believe I waited so long. Trying to figure out how to install new leather seats I just scored. If anyone has installed seats from a Honda Odyssey, please let me know. The have hooks that attach to the floor boards. I think they were the second row seats. (two buckets and a center seat/console). Help.....Thanks

Added a rear chrome sport bumper. Then added the Chase Chevrolet license frame which is where the truck was originally sold from.

Shawn, truck looks 100% better with that bumper and frame......but your license plate needs to come home with me for a few days! ;)

I agree 100% but I don't think your wife can paint the holes closed....or can she?? :lol: The front plate is not to bad but the rear has issues.

Thanks Scott. Only 2 doors, 2 fenders, a hood and a tailgate left to sand and paint. I've started on the doors. Oh yeah...and 2 wheel houses.

Aventur1- I had seen some of the guys on the site cover up the gas hole with the gas cap and a screw. I had relocated the gas tank but didn't want to patch up the hole.

Update
UPS man delivered the backup switch that I needed for my pistol grip hurst shifter. I have backup lights now!!!

IDK if this counts, but my truck likes to work. She doesn't care too much about looking pretty either.

And, just making sure the neighbor's house stays standing.
