The ol girl still has one of the best looking front ends of any 1972 jimmies

Where did you get the marker light trim?

**jaros44sr** · 06-03-2022, 07:09 AM

They're from Marquese, only come with reflectors, had to modify my sockets to light up

Don't cheap out and get the American billet, they don't fit near as nice as Marquese

Thealien · 06-03-2022, 01:50 PM

Thanks! Keep up the good work!

Marques doesn't offer lighted bezels, need to mount backing plate/bulb holder

Computer gone whacky, won't upload

**zicc1835** · 06-18-2022, 09:53 PM

agreed on the ol girl with the best front end

Lots of precautions on the label, I plan to use a 3M mask and a fan in the shop.

I haven't applied flame to it yet, just brushed on. You don't want to aerate it by sanding, more of a scraping motion with a sharp tool

Thanks, but got bigger problems.......

**jaros44sr** · 07-21-2022, 08:16 PM

Situation.?

**jaros44sr** · 07-22-2022, 09:27 AM

Bumper is a 1/8 " in the way of letting the bolt seat

Not wanting to grind bumper, have to try moving bumper or grille guard

**jaros44sr** · 07-24-2022, 09:12 AM

Ok fixed my problem, I broke my own rule when assembling parts, start all fasteners and hand tight before using a wrench....

Just need to find the right socket to fit up in there

scott123 · 07-24-2022, 10:30 AM

I got my blazer on a killer deal. I drove it for several years with it in primer. I planned to paint it a couple different times and finally pulled the trigger.

I have one comment on the thread where the roll pan in the back was welded and the tailgate will not come off (no access to the bolts).

The latest gave me quite the scare as I think back. I have been on it pretty hard a few times, even snatching a gear here and there. Super fun.

Pulled the wheels and found 2" spacers and this style of spacer and lug nut has three, and maybe four threads engaged on the wheel studs. (four is a stretch).

Still not complaining, but sometimes I wonder what people are thinking...not thinking....when they build their rides?????

Scott

**jaros44sr** · 07-28-2022, 10:41 AM

Scott, I agree. My spacers are 1 1/2" and have plenty of threads on the lug nut, if you have 2 inch spacers, you should probably lengthen your wheel studs.

Thanks for posting up, and enjoy your ride

Any one know what inserts go into the license plate mount? I have seen ⬛ ones, but never round

badpeanut · 08-01-2022, 08:54 PM

I've always wondered what was done when these trucks were new.

Loose nut on the back side, or well nut?

**jaros44sr** · 08-02-2022, 07:36 PM

Good thought, wasn't thinking that way, will look into that, hole in bumper is about.290 id

**jaros44sr** · 08-02-2022, 08:03 PM

Dang flickr

I'm going to stop playing with this piece, and move on to the lower section
