Depends. Mine were brand new. It's the nature of lead springs that they may need some adjustment.

Re: 1978 Russet Metallic 4x4
I can't begin to describe how much I like this K5 :metal:
I have always LOVED the plaid interiors. It's very refreshing to see people taking the time to revive them (or accurately recreate them as you did) rather than pitching the seats and installing basic LMC-type covers or going with another type altogether. I don't think SMC used to have the fabric in stock. Maybe they did and I just didn't ask the right questions. Oh well, making a thousand mile drive to get plaid seats in my trusty old Burb is a trip that will always be remembered. I'm curious about the dash pad and door panels that you had refreshed. Does it look original around the screw holes in the door panels and does the dash pad have the correct looking center speaker opening? |
Re: 1978 Russet Metallic 4x4
I'm sure they still have some. Grab the fabric numbers off the picture from the first page of the thread and give them that info. They gave me the picture. Thanks for the compliments. :)

This is indeed a rad blazer. Good work on keeping it alive. My '77 has the mandarin orange interior also. Dig it.

Any shots of the Ram-Jet? I've had 2 of those engines and they are fantastic. They really don't get the credit they deserve in my opinion.

I used to use Arizona Speed and Marine years ago to do the MEFI 3 and 4 ecms. Who's doing it now??

Re: 1978 Russet Metallic 4x4
Also, if you have one that starts running rich at idle replace your O2 sensor. Ask me how I know!! Hahaha

Re: 1978 Russet Metallic 4x4
These are the guys I'm gonna try out: http://www.mefiburn.com/ramjettuning.asp
O2 sensors are great unless they're giving you hell. Could be cheaper too. |

Re: 1978 Russet Metallic 4x4
I found a good product for the rear aluminum panel on the Blazer. Mine had the normal chalky oxidation that looks dull and crappy.
I used this: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/...5-1600x900.jpg And now it looks like this: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/...6-1600x900.jpg Also, got this Tom Wood's CV Driveshaft with Shims in the other day. Need time to install: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/...-1280x7201.jpg |
