Re: 1972 K5 Blazer CST day 2 restoration.
So I've been digging around and kinda making plans.
I found an auxiliary battery tray I forgot I bought.
I've also been looking at the winches I have, and options for rebuilding them, I'm starting to wonder about buying a modern winch and hiding it behind the bumper. I know that's not exactly old school, but could be an option.
Also looks like I can't find my seat belts, they may have accidentally gone with another car. I sold, So I guess I need to find a set of those.
Does anyone know if the original style consoles ever had a locking option?
This week I got the dash lights working and the defrost tubes replaced. I don't have a working tempature gauge, I did some testing and I think its a bad circuit board. And also I'm not sure the blower motor is working at full speed. Need to do some testing there.
Other than that, I should mention I also have been collecting vintage camp gear, and fully intend to use this thing for camping.
Anyways. Hope you guys have a good holiday.
I need to source some Rockers, when I first bought this thing, you could still get GM rockers for them. Not sure if those are still available. Where is the best place for sheet metal these days?
