Thanks, the fuel filler is behind the side marker light. I'm happy with the way it turned out, I'll post some pics soon.

I'd be interested in how fast/slow it allows you to put gas in.

Topfuelflat · 02-05-2012, 05:48 PM

Me too, A friend of mine did the same setup and his was slow, he needed better venting. I hope that I have that problem solved.

RustyBucket · 02-06-2012, 01:49 AM

The P.O. hid the fuel fill on my Blazer behind the side marker light. I have a '72 Jimmy with a stock filler. Both of 'em are kinda hard to put fuel in, they tend to splash back and shut the nozzle off. It's hard to wiggle the cap out from inside side marker light opening on the Blazer. I've been looking for one of those permanent gas caps that has the place in the center where you poke the nozzle in. It'd be a big improvement to swing the hinged side marker light open and just stick the nozzle in. I haven't found a cap small enough to fit inside the opening yet.

Hopefully this link works http://www.haganauto.com/category_s/43.htm.The filler wasnt as expensive as I remembered, it was only $50.00. I guess this info should probably be on a different thread. I'm taking a trip down to the Sacramento Roadster show next week, are there any California Blazers attending.

Topfuelflat · 02-06-2012, 02:19 AM

The type of cap that you put the nozzle through the center is what I am using. I will get the part# ,I don't remember where I got mine,I'll have to dig through my receipts. They are spendy but I believe they are worth it and will eliminate one big hassle.

RustyBucket · 02-06-2012, 09:30 AM

Thanks Topfuel, all of the ones I've seen are black plastic and too BIG to fit in there. The fill pipe is pretty close to the inside of the quarter panel. The side marker opening is only big enough for my thumb, pointer and diddlin' finger. The bright stainless cap sticking out of the top of the fender on the Jimmy is more appealing every time I gas the Blazer.

PHAT TONY · 02-06-2012, 01:18 PM

I used a weld in custom bike tank filler, screw on billet cap about 2-2 1/2" around.

jeffg1010 · 02-06-2012, 01:26 PM

That is AWESOME! Great job. What did you use for a hinge?

PHAT TONY · 02-06-2012, 03:00 PM

It's just a late '90s fard gas door cut up, I'd guess most anything could be made to work. It did take quite a few hours to get the light to seat just right, it's a total surprise to people who don't know I did this; the light sits perfect when closed.

LadyBird · 02-09-2012, 09:28 PM

I'm addicted to this thread. Who want's to trade for my '70 stepside?? lol

babyblueoval · 02-09-2012, 09:38 PM

Ok, I've been on this forum for so long I figured I could at least show that I have made some progress. Granted not a whole lot, but some.

Can you say gutted? doors are on cause we didn't have any metal to seld into the door openings. I absolutely could not get the ingition switch out. grrrr

my Redneck lift (or would that be lifts since there's technically more than one?)

4x2 frame sitting next to the former 4x4 frame (it has since been shortened but I don't have that pic available)

OK... off topic, but is that an S10 with a late 70's Mustang front end in the background?!?

ROFL.....

I forgot all about that thing being in that pic. YES. Yes, that is in fact an S10 with a Mustang front end. That's at my friends shop. He was doing some work on it but can't remember what. (no, not putting the s10 front end back on) My friend said the guy likes to be different and really likes it. It takes all kinds.

How do those bed rails hold on?

I used furniture leg hardware bolts . They are wood thread on one side and machine tread on the other.

dialric · 02-15-2012, 11:42 PM

Tony, the rear panels were made so they could be removed so the rail caps can be installed or removed rather quickly.

obsesive23 · 02-13-2012, 05:17 AM

Here's mine. It's a converted 4x4. Still have lots to do

Very cool! First time I've seen real 67-68 trim on a blazer. Now I know what it'll look like on mine.
