Re: b pillar sag
There's been another thread started recently that you may want to look at from time to time, it's on par with your current situation and the work you'll soon be facing.

Re: b pillar sag
That bracket was added on, probably for a soft top, regardless, it is not original equipment.
Good luck with the blazer, I have seen worse that have been repaired. Rg

Will be keeping an eye on it thanks for the headsup. Quote:
I took off the bracket already hoping I was correct thanks for verifying. And there were also a lot of snaps on the windshield frame top that i took off. So they definitely had a soft top on it at one time. And luck I will need this is the biggest project as far as body replacement panel that I have done. thanks all. and stay tuned.

Posts: 88 Re: My new old chevy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We got it started with new wires and plugs with my carb and new HEI. Top on it and rear seats bolted down. I even got to drive it around a little but tranny may need rebuilding will only shift up if start in low and shift manually. Not a good idea to drive around to fast without front seat bolted down just a FYI. But at this point work at a stand still . i got laid off at work. put for sale this week. if no sale and get job soon may start back work on it. but it is breaking my heart to sell. the wife even told me no don't cause she knows how long it took me to finally buy another one. but family first no matter what. __________________ BE NICE IT PAYS IN THE END.

Re: b pillar sag
Got to piddle with it a little today. I put switch in dash where it is suppose to be and not dangling down in the floor and bolted the front seats and console in. Little at a time. BUT IT IS STILL FOR SALE. Figure I can piddle little as I go. Next it tranny rebuild and I'll start driving it if no sold. New pictures coming soon.

Re: b pillar sag
Got a job now looking to move to Georgia around Cartersville. So time will be spent on that for now but here is some new pics. of my bolted down seats and switch in dash. Boy was the old one fun to get out without the key. Took some vise grips and broke off the lip of the chrome flange. It was all scratched up anyway and i had another one. not a perfect one but it will work better than hanging down. now to rebuild the tranny and front drivers bearing. load pics later getting error.

Re: b pillar sag
yea, well its not sold yet so i may get to keep it yet. that and the kids were having a ball. yell and screaming it was like a roller coaster ride to them and my ears were hurting from it. no carpet or sound deadener and no back side panels in it (they were laying in the shop) the echo was killing me i was glad to get them out and park it for a while but then again can't wait to start back piddling with it.
