Latest work on the old Blazer

I am slowly getting back togather and I know how you all like pics so here is some... I got the e-brake completely done, works like a charm, got the heater plenum and boxes in place, still got to hook up cables to controller. Got the kick panels doors backl in place after a total rebuild, ended up using rivets from the vent widow rebuild kit and they were very close to what was there, but after having done that, if I have to do it again, I would use some very short 1/8 inch pop type rivets and be done with it. Had to completely tear them down and replace the gasket material sandwiched between the two pieces of tin. Afterwards it is nice to see them because they really do look new.

Re: Latest work on the old Blazer

I really like that color. Since you just got done puting in the E-brake was there a ebrake switch? and were did the return sping go?

Keep up the good work

I still have no idea! I looked at a few trucks yesterday hoping to see but there is no spring of that size in the area. It may have to do with the accelerator pedal, will be looking into that later but for now, I am moving on!

I can see that this is going to be a super clean blazer, but the coolest thing is you have the keys in it ready to fire it up!
