That’s a great idea for the strut bolts. I don’t have access to a welder but maybe I can have a local guy that does welding do it for me. I’ll make some calls. |

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Second day of stay home order, I got my new cluster wired up and installed. Still have to install the huge oil pressure sensor, which I am not looking forward to. But other then that, everything is hooked up.

Had the wife and daughter sew up a makeshift seat cover so we can ride and enjoy as I wait for my ordered seat cover to come and finish getting restored.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
I completed my interior a few days ago. Turned out pretty good!
Next comes new weather-stripping and complete the paint in spring/summer. Pat |

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Nice work! I have a white on blue C10 that we are making a Cheyenne Super tribute out of. I like a different color with blue interior. Blue on blue is too much in my opinion.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
SEM Super White. If I were to redo it I’d have a can of GM 521 white made and go with that.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
You bet. The consoles and seat backs were all black plastic then painted at the factory. SEM super white is a decent match imo for parchment panels and seats but less so for the GM 521 white that was originally present.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
That was the original plan but the Griffin LS swap radiator doesn't exactly drop into place... the upper mounts don't work so I decided to go custom...

OK, now I understand my aluminum rad. was a tight fit, but it was only a 2core, so I could work with it

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
I had some paint left over after shooting the gas tank for my son's Ninja, so I sprayed the 1970's High Hump.
