Those chrome bed strips
 

Anybody know if the chrome bed strip that goes along the back of the bed
is the same as the one that goes behind the seats?

No... they are different. The one in the back has a groove it it (the metal is folded over) for a rubber seal that fits against the tailgate.

Not sure, I am missing both of them :lol:

Have seen original blazers with different combinations of the 2 strips in front and back My 70 has the one with the angle front and back my 71 has the rollover one front and back both are original. I think it was what ever they grabbed on the line

Pound41 is correct! It just happens that I am working on that part of the Blazer... rear carpet, rear seat, etc...

Knowing they're like gold, I had picked up a couple of strips at a salvage yard a few years back... (picture attached). I just now climbed up in the rafters of my garage and pulled down my original strips. Like pound's, they are the same front and back. I guess I never really thought about it...

In the picture, you can see that the other front strip (presumably off of an earlier Blazer) is angled to form the carpet over the step.

O.K. 71 Resto I guess It doesnt matter, Ill just use the two I have that are the same. Thanks for the picture. It sure helps to have people who are willing to take the time to help.
You wouldnt beleive the time and $$ Ive already got in this thing. Theres just no way to guess about it when you get started. Of course, its easy to go farther than you were going to.... I CANT Help myself
Thanks, again Tom
