Yours would be the third I have found, which one was a blazer. It must be pretty rare, not that it adds any value but just hard to come by.

We worked on the paint last night, it was a nightmare removing all the oxidization... I am having a lot of trouble getting the factory "road rash" sticker off as pictured in the last picture! I've tried goo gone, 3M adhesive remover and the 3M eraser wheel and nothing has helped at all! Any suggestions?

Someone had a thread on this. Let me see if I can find it.

I haven't been on in a few days, I cannot find ANYTHING to remove that road rash sticker.... on a positive note we have made some progress!
New window fuzzies, new window rubber, one of the classic sound radios with Bluetooth etc, new 3-1/2 in the dash, 6x9's behind the seat, new carpet, new dash, new gauge bezel, new seat cover, new sport bumper, new AC vents, new tail light lenses etc!

Looks awesome!!

Nice job!

The1960APE · 10-10-2017, 08:20 AM

Thanks guys. I am going to try a plastic razor and more adhesive remover for the "rock chip" stickers, the bumper really made a difference in the looks! We are still working on the 1961 Apache, haven't really got started on the 1971 Jimmy and right slap in the middle of building a retaining wall that is 17' x 180' I think I may be forced to part with this truck as much as I don't want to... I'll probably never find one that I like the color and interior color as much as this one

I've had some luck with a heat gun and a bondo spreader. Took awhile but it worked. Heated up the sticker really good then slowly peeled it back with the spreader. Used adhesive remover and a pinstripe eraser (I assume it's the same as your 3M wheel) to clean it up after it was peeled off.

Truck is looking nice! The Doeskin makes the interior look super clean.

Just a fyi, my truck had the darker brown dashboard in it when I first got my 81.

Sounds like this may be a moot point but the eraser wheels are what gets that residue off from the paint chip guard. Probably takes about 45 min per side though. There's a thread on it.
