Not just a truck to me

[Sacramento70]

I got some Reflectix double sided aluminum insulation

And used some 3M adhesive spray behind it to fill in the inner side walls and then used aluminum tape to seal the fatmat and reflectix. it filled in very nicely. cut easy. and well see how it works out (other members have had success). just need some jute mat now to make the carpet a little plush. This has been a huge process of tear down, sanding, grinding, painting, rolling on fatmat, and now installing the reflectix. Takes time and dilligence IMHO. I hope it was all worth it in the long run, its my first go at this.

i think im in about $350 and still not done.

POR-15, 1 pint - $40
Fatmat 50sq ft. - $90
Aluminum tape 1 roll - $5
New carpet my dad had - $60 worth
New Amp - $120
Seam sealer - $20
New carriage bolts for wheel well - $ 15
My time - $Priceless

Any Ideas for carpet hold down strips? other then the ridiculously hard original ones to find that i pried up with a screw driver, folded them in half and threw in the trash (Fools errand on my part to rid of those so easily).

There are guys reproducing them now, just check on the blazer parts board. Also, why does it appear you have fuel filler covers on both sides of the bed in the back? What's under the one on the right side?

My truck didn't have rear side panels from the factory....ive looked behind the right enclosure a long time ago and i put it back cause i guess what i saw wasn't anything i wanted to relocate its stuff going up and coming back down thru the bed floor into the gas tank for breathing i believe ( i might be wrong). Stock item that i don't fully understand its purpose or reasoning but i figured leave everything alone if it works and hidden behind my panels.

I miss my blazer. its time to start work again. otherwise known as play just got back to CA from WA and its time for me to finish the rear of my interior....ill keep you guys updated soon, i got pics coming shortly!!

A few pics of my updated interior. I changed the 96 grey cloth Tahoe seats with 99 tan suburban leather that is full power with heated seats that work. I personally think the tan leather compliments the medium gold paint well. i used the third row seat and adapted my own bracket from the old back seat on page 1 and not only does it fold down but it slides forward and back as well. I even managed to adapt the original blazer seat belts to the rear seat. I still need to develop some kind of tailgate carpet weatherstripping seal and then Enjoy the free road

Finally finished the mounting of the 2 front seats. they needed new holes and mounting plates for the back holes. Gave her a well deserved bath and polished up her shoes. Some pics.

Photoshop for fun

I decided to add some color to the Chevrolet letters in the middle of the front grill. I painted them a darker red instead of the traditional black...I think it adds a custom touch of elegance that compliments the blazer well IMO. Let me know what you others members think
