I also bought the double sided (reflective) jute... much better to work with than the single sided. I went way overkill with everything, but would do it all again. I doubled up the "step" area behind the driver and passenger seat as it gets VERY hot ... I remembered that from my youth and didn't want my kids experience that same memory lol. Now after a long drive you can touch the carpet hold down with no issues. The Al's liner has been essential since I did not get to the top's weather stripping before our mild winters here but the carpet has gotten soaked a couple times ... at least I am not too concerned with it rusting. It is very quite and at least the floor boards stay cool. |

Re: 1969 Blazer...To be my daily driver
I mentioned earlier I installed the rear interior panels, they match the seats really well and I am happy how they turned out. They cost me about $150 to do.
I also installed a McWelco storage box. Found a well used one for $80, changed the locks ($30) and used some Al's liner on it... now I have a trunk/lock box. This also prevents my rear seats from being stolen. I installed a transfer case skid plate thanks to my brother neutering his 4x4 and this steering stabilizer |

Re: 1969 Blazer...To be my daily driver
I like the lock box idea. I've been contemplating something similar for mine, but much smaller.

Re: 1969 Blazer...To be my daily driver

I put the tools, cables, straps in a padded bag, so no rattles and noise from it. Can't wait to pull the top off here soon! |

I like the look of your cage. Do you have any pics of the plates and mounts under the tub?

Re: 1969 Blazer...To be my daily driver
DustinU, I'm new to the Blazer community and I've been researching seats interior for what I want mine to look like. "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" and I want yours.
Can you please tell me what seats you used? I saw 2008 and 2002-2003 but I'd like to confirm. Also great brackets that he made for you. Thanks in advance! |

Thank you and welcome! The seats are the second and third row out of a 2008 Suburban/Yukon XL, I believe most model years will work. Other than craigslist, a good place to look are limousine companies and junk yards. |

Re: 1969 Blazer...To be my daily driver
Thanks...Also appreciate the insights!
I've been looking for 2002 or newer because I want the carseat clips for the back seat. |
