You definitely have the right shop working on this thing. Gonna be top notch

Gillnetter · 06-20-2020, 10:31 AM

Any updates on this build?

**lks dcvn** · 06-24-2020, 04:00 PM

Not much since these pix were taken. Body was stripped to bare metal and epoxy primed. It was moved out of the shop in Oct 2019. Now waiting to be finished up by another shop. I'm working on 2 other restorations (71 4x4 Blazer & 70 2wd Jimmy) while this one waits in the wings. I'm driving them as much as I can when weather permits and making updates along the way.

We are a few months away from any more updates on this one as it collects dust in the interim.

**aotte1** · 07-19-2020, 11:21 PM

Could you post a couple of close-up photos of the “B” pillar bottom where it meets the tub floor.
Looking to see how far in B pillar goes on the tub floor.

Thanks,
Les

**lks dcvn** · 07-20-2020, 02:37 PM

The B-pillar lines up almost with the raised pads on the cargo floor. There are a few things that need to line up though and I'm sure there is are some nuances for each install (how many OEM parts vs. aftermarket):

bolts that hold cab floor (not pictured in this shot) to bedside
bolts that go up through the cargo floor to the capture nuts inside the bedside b-pillar post
bolts that hold support panel to bedside and cargo floor
bolts in torsion box end cap that connect cargo floor, bedside and support panel

Here is a better shot - older picture.

After building one of these up from scratch (on my 71 4x4 Blazer project) - I can see how these all rusted out in the B-pillar as there are several pockets for mud, etc. can hide and cause issues.

**aotte1** · 07-26-2020, 08:14 PM

Thanks for the additional information, and photo.

Wild! I was just telling my wife about this truck and then you update! I am so jealous! What a nice truck. Makes me want to just give up on mine and do what you did. Oh well. I guess mine will just be a rat rod.

**DeadheadNM** · 06-20-2023, 10:55 AM

Solid progress. Good to see an update.

**lks dcvn** · 06-20-2023, 02:58 PM

Milestone reached...first hit of color. It's pretty amazing how the same color can look so different inside/outside/shade/sunlight.

best view · 06-20-2023, 07:46 PM

Nice is that the 524 code

**lks dcvn** · 06-21-2023, 06:26 PM

yes to 524 - Original color of this blazer - Red Orange / Hugger Orange

**raggedjim** · 06-22-2023, 09:34 AM

It's good to see you are hanging with it. Great work, Rg

**lks dcvn** · 06-23-2023, 11:39 AM
