I was hoping to get to body work and possibly paint but that is getting farther and farther out.

Well the Jimmy is my daily driver right now. My '68 C/10 Stepside, that I'd been driving since 1973 was clipped on the right rear quarter in a collision. Until I replace the trailing arms, panhard bar, rear differential and step fender, it's not getting back on the road. I have most of those parts now. Rear diff from a MY '63 is at the shop being inspected. They should tell me Thursday what condition it's in.
And my buddy, who's my mechanic, has Covid.
I like the color of your Blazer. My Stepside is 516 Orange, and the Jimmy is an aftermarket color [maybe Caddy?] called Maui Blue. Hawaii Blue was a GM Squarebody color. I'm not sure if it's the same. A Medium Metallic Blue.
Originally it was painted Copper, a GMC shade. PO's FiL had a body shop in LA. I got the Jimmy in 1995.
