New wheel cylinders, shoes, and drums. Had to stop working on it early to go to a graduation. Hope to get it bled and put back together tomorrow.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Dropped off a pile of parts to be phosphate coated (Parkerized) just like GM did. Hood hinges, hood latches, door striker plates, 72 front hooks, bags of bolts/screws, tie rod bracket, etc. For these parts it's an authentic redo that's cheaper and more durable than powdercoating or painting. $180 for the all shown to be cleaned, bead blasted, and Parkerized at a local facility that does 15k gun barrels monthly for the Ruger Co.

For brackets and bolts that get wrenched on it's the best way to go - good to do pulleys also.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
I put in my heat/sound damper and laid the front carpet in place. I still have a lot to do with it like find all the bolt holes, shifter boot, seat belts, door sills etc. It will take me a whole day or more to get everything fitted in there. Oh and I did my roof rail seals to.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
To tell you the truth I did not know how it came from the factory. So I thought it would look better with the carpet folded over the edge and glued down to the vertical wall. Then I cut it along the floor line.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
This is a much better looking idea. What brand carpet kit is that?

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
GM left that vertical part of the floor uncovered - done right like yours it does look better IMO.
