More - good hose routing documentation. Note the passenger female belt with the plastic sleeve somehow got transferred to the rear seat.

Note the glue where the posi decal was located on the RH rear wheel tub. Also, spots on the floor pan where the rear bumper gravel guards and top to bedside brackets were painted.

Did that happen at the assembly plant or did someone just use the floor.

At the plant I believe (Flint). I've seen other examples but haven't bothered to post them. St Louis painted the top to bedside brackets white so there's some plant to plant variation.

Nice, you are always full of great info!!

**craneboy72** · 02-26-2023, 08:29 AM

my 73 has imprints from the roof brackets getting painted on the floor

CanadianNascar · 08-27-2023, 10:53 AM

I first want to thank all members on the board for all the great info.
My Blazer has been parked since '97 and the last 9mos I've been wrenching to get it road worthy.
First time on the road in 25yrs. yesterday! This website made the journey so much easier and enjoyable.
Still alot more time and money to go. Trying to keep it relatively stock, except going with 33x10.5x15 mud terrains.
It's pretty much unmolested, except by me.

I don't think I have any pics from when I purchased, keep meaning to go looking in storage for old pics.

I purchased my 72 in Arizona back around 1990.
Stripped to bare metal around '92 and painted the wrong dark green 506 instead of green 505, disappointing.
My front seats have been recovered, and rear seat is missing arms and rear feet.

Built in St.Louis 02/72

**DeadheadNM** · 08-29-2023, 08:02 PM

What a gem and bravo for hanging onto it all these years. Love that it had gray plaid.

**DeadheadNM** · 12-01-2023, 10:46 AM

Here's a St Louis example hugger orange w gray plaid and a black top. I perceive white paint beneath the thick dust on the wheel tub we'd expect on a St Louis example. Listed HERE on eBay.

**DeadheadNM** · 12-17-2023, 10:58 PM

Here’s another St Louis example that shows the white rear wheel tubs. AZ truck. Thanks Tommy.

**1970cstblazer** · 12-18-2023, 08:27 AM

That would be a great restoration project to include it's original 10.00-16.5 wheel option.

This orange hylander which was sold 19000.00 .is on eBay for 44000.00 now these flippers don’t give you a chance

I am loving this thread! I've been looking for this interior pattern for years and thought I was nuts for remembering it in a friends Dad's truck when I was a kid.
this is the interior pattern I'm wanting to put in my Sonoma build.
