The blazer only sat in the driveway when the wife was not driving it but I was looking for a replacment. I work on the truck in the summer because of the small garage on the house 12X20
it's time to take a good look at it now Find the common rust spots floors,inner&outer cowl,cab corners then for the unexepted above corner windows,back of cab at belt line,inside panel around rear windows Attachment 1051288 started to take it apart Attachment 1051292 seen on a site about striping parts with a batt charger this is what I started with Attachment 1051293 here is the part after cleaning and a little wire brushing Attachment 1051294 |

This is the stripping tank I ended up with after going a little bigger 4 or 5 times tank with front fender in it
Attachment 1051296 after cleaning some parts it looks like this Attachment 1051297 Attachment 1051298 Half the hood Attachment 1051299 I would leave the parts in the tank 1to7 days removing them to pressure wash the converted rust off every couple of day. I think this help with the time it took to clean the parts inner fender before pressure washing it Attachment 1051300 |

Re: Jed's 49 3100
Gauges are looking nice. Is that a couple of aftermarket gauges fitted in the original housing?
