Boy, ya got a project. Nice black truck, the future for the blazer looks good
Thanks for the encouragement!
Its really not that bad.
My info says it was an AZ truck.
Who knows if it had been driven on the beach at some time... that's a sure fire way to get rust started!
The door seals are toast, and the carpet pad did a nice job of holding any moisture on the cab floors. The rocker on the drivers side was FULL of dust, which held any moisture that created the rust hole, and that appears to be localized. I will know more when I get to cutting the floor out.
The hood had rusted in exactly the same place as my K10, but the stupid chrome trim made it worse.

I had hoped to have some updates, but a slab leak in the house, has had me distracted, with plumbing, new walls and floors... And of course, while everything was out, new kitchen appliances too... Ugh. Lots of work... been at it for over a month, but man, it looks good... and my Woman is VERY pleased with my efforts... which will pay dividends down the road!
Even the Dog is happy...
