Re: 1969 Blazer...To be my daily driver

Dustin it's looking good man!

For these Blazers, the doors work as a structural part of the tub and provide some additional bending capability when the top is off. So if the previous owner had the top off and was wheeling it and got it into a bind, it may have cracked the door at the hinge mount. Although the pickups crack out there too from the hinges not being oiled and the door getting hard to open and forcing them. Anyway, that cage will definitely stiffen up the tub in the door opening area and help out a lot when you off road it.

Glad to see your making good progress and getting to enjoy it. Nothing better than cruizing around with the top off!
