Keep all your original trim, especially the windshield trim if you have it. Board member deadheadNm gave me this advice and I'm thankful he did. I have over 2K photos and I'm still second guessing myself where things go. Keep up the progress!

Re: 1972 Blazer CST Frame off Project in NC
And now for some pics post sand blasting......
Looks like the PO, seamed the bedside panel at the wheel well. The blaster told me he took about 200 pounds of bondo off! I know he was exaggerating, but there was LOTS on there. I despise shoddy workmanship. Glad to now know what I have, and don't have. I see body panel purchases in my future..... |

Re: 1972 Blazer CST Frame off Project in NC
Ok, so the fun keeps coming! I went by yesterday and picked up my blazer from the sand blaster and took it over to my body guys shop - - ALOT more rot than I had hoped for, but hey, it comes with the territory.
Looks like I will be buying 2 new doors, 2 wheel wells, 2 bedside/quarters and an entire new floor. I know I can salvage some of whats there, but labor will cost more than replacement parts. There is plenty of salvageable rot that we can spend repair labor on. Here are the pics: |

As for the ORD custom leafs. I just ordered a set. I will post pics when i do the install. Also, as for your front crossmember, i used the 73-74 crossmember from ORD and just made some adjustments. Nice little piece. How much did the sand blasting cost you?
