Got em in my '72. There is one in front of the rear seat and one in back. The factory rubber mat is over the top. I figured they were something that only came with the rubber mat flooring.

Weird. Had one of those in the back of my K5 when I bought it, had no idea it was original. Threw it into the parts truck with all the other

stuff.

Here's your chance to buy one back.

Big Block · 11-30-2005, 07:11 PM

Yes, they are factory, under rubber mats and carpet. He is also selling Blazer/Jimmy bed spare tire holder.

blazerparts · 11-30-2005, 08:00 PM

I've got a set of them too, and another set from a previous blazer I had. Should I put those back in prior to carpet? I was going to put fatmat on the bed, but it would follow the contour of the bed, perhaps leaving peaks and valleys. Maybe I should put down the leveling mats down and fatmat on top of those?

LUV2XCLR8 · 11-30-2005, 08:26 PM

Nice looking rear seat, but shipping

VinceY · 11-30-2005, 08:41 PM

Clarification needed.
Is it supposed to level the ridges in the floor, or level the floor with the carpet strip, or what exactly is it leveling?

blazerparts · 11-30-2005, 09:07 PM

It levels out the bed flutes.

bouncytruck · 11-30-2005, 11:03 PM

Exactly - they just make the surface of the bed flat.

red71cheyenne · 12-01-2005, 02:35 AM

Neat idea. Don't think I would have worried about it though. I'm not going to spend much time back there

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-01-2005, 10:02 PM

I am pretty sure I can live with out those...$100 bones ouch

blazerparts · 12-01-2005, 10:36 PM

maybe I should just sell them.........

vtblazer · 12-02-2005, 10:39 AM

I've got a couple sets also, came from various blazers.

Always thought they were more for drainage...

Never considered the leveling thing.

pound41 · 12-02-2005, 06:56 PM

They are for both leveling and drainage. Also as a young kid who would sit on the floor in front of the back seat on long trips. They also must provide a fair amount of padding couldn't do that on a bare bed. Plus I would think they would save some wear and tear and streching on your mat or carpet. Someone was actually thinking back then

These also seem to offer a degree of noise reduction.

Scrubby · 12-07-2005, 04:37 PM

Dang! He got $150 for the tire carrier. Maybe I should part with mine.
