What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**DeadheadNM** · 04-10-2014, 07:04 PM

Pickup forum has a similar thread so why not K5's?

Had 3.73's and a front posi installed in my Blazer today and upgraded to a better shade of blue hub actuator dials.

What did you do today?

asolde · 04-10-2014, 07:36 PM

Got a spare tire carrier for my new Blazer. I cleaned it up and painted it.

**DeadheadNM** · 04-10-2014, 07:51 PM

Nice!

Chulisohombre · 04-11-2014, 07:19 AM

Pulled into the driveway after Work and wished I had more time To put into the old Girl. Tree fell on it during hurricane sandy so I need to get a new windshield and repair the top.

pkz71 · 04-13-2014, 06:23 PM

Washed it!

briank · 04-13-2014, 07:52 PM

Started to patch the pass side floor, then will move to the kick panel , inner/outer rockers along with the front pillar and b pillar......then to the drivers side on my 70

**DeadheadNM** · 04-13-2014, 10:26 PM

Two steps forward: installed an internally regulated alternator and hooked up the auxiliary battery

Two steps back: discovered an antifreeze leak that tells me the heater core is bad and my fancy Oldsmobile AC compressor belt shield won't fit because of the CA emissions brackets required for the compressor

Will post this for sale, it's a cool add

**Steven B** · 04-14-2014, 10:34 AM

Took the top off.

grillzy · 04-14-2014, 05:26 PM

I did a tune up, changed my altenator, changed my oil. Thats my new Blazer but not my shop.

PHAT TONY · 04-19-2014, 09:53 PM

Got 2 of 4 hand-made tail light bezels done and polished.

**DeadheadNM** · 04-19-2014, 10:26 PM

I swapped the old RH rear CST panel for a repro and scrubbed the slider windows I was able to track down. Not sure I'm thrilled about the tint. Only set I've seen that's a factory tint - frames are black.

asolde · 04-20-2014, 07:44 AM

I wash it,then I clay bar it, then I polised it.

asolde · 04-20-2014, 04:56 PM

Then I waxed it.

Hey deadheadnm, where did you get the repro panel in the saddle? Just what I'm looking for.

Those came via Brothers Trucks. I've since learned that forum member Truckseats can get these also. He's provided me with two excellent sets of covers for my pickups. Send him a PM.

timski69gmc · 04-20-2014, 11:45 PM

Thanks. Looks like I have some covers coming from Truckseats. Might have to increase my order.
This weekend is installing my tach cluster. Pictures to come!

What was the process of making those and what materials did you use. I like them alot, very cool idea and surprisingly innovative that looks stock

PHAT TONY · 04-21-2014, 10:30 PM

I made patterns out of box board, took em to a shop that water jetted them from 3/16 aluminum, sand sand sand and polish. More work to the lenses to make them fit just right though. Thank you for the compliment; my Blazer is full of little things that took MAJOR time and effort that you have to point out to people if I want them to notice.

dialric · 04-22-2014, 08:59 PM

Got the rear floor finished in the Blazer 2WD

87Skier · 04-23-2014, 04:07 AM

I pulled my broken SBC 400, to start a rebuild.
