I saw a truck the other day with a decal and it said heartbeat of the south and I believe it had a bowtie also does anyone know where I can get this decal?

tobiahr · 07-30-2011, 11:09 PM

The only heartbeat of the south i've ever seen was from a radio station in Geogia .....
Found the one i was thinking of see attached

I guess it was a custom decal I can't find anything on it.

The title says "project" just curious to know what the projects are? Is it photography?

When I got it I was going to do alot to it (lift,wheels,tires,etc.) but when I started cleaning it up I just didn't have the heart to destroy such a nice truck so I left it stock. I need to change the thread title but I don't know how to change it.

**l79m20** · 08-02-2011, 05:35 PM

thats cool, it does look pretty good though. As some point you may change your mind on ripping into it. Good luck anyhow.

Thanks I appreciate it. I'm going to be repainting it next year hopefully.

NCTyphoonKid · 08-02-2011, 05:56 PM

Also if anyone knows how to change the thread title please let me know

NCTyphoonKid · 08-03-2011, 10:02 PM

Now that I have a job maybe I can start doing some things to the Blazer

thirdstreettito · 08-03-2011, 10:05 PM

Like what? Powerwindow relays?

NCTyphoonKid · 08-04-2011, 03:00 PM

started pulling my interior apart. going to get the headliner redone and start getting some of my missing/broken trim for it. pics soon

NCTyphoonKid · 08-04-2011, 06:55 PM

got some issues around the seat brackets are the floor has cracked and its on the passenger side and drivers side I also have a spot at the kick panel on the drivers side I'll have to get fixed. It doesn't have alot of rust though

. I also have been cleaning/scrubbing my carpet. Anyway on to the pics

Passenger side seat bracket

drivers side seat bracket and rust

NCTyphoonKid · 08-04-2011, 08:47 PM

got the back seat and carpet out and got the headliner pulled out. tomorrow im going to scrub the back carpet

Stoney · 08-04-2011, 10:04 PM

Nice K5. Were did you get your front 4x4 decals for the front hubs? They are smaller than the back. Yours look awesome.

NCTyphoonKid · 08-04-2011, 10:06 PM

I took the back decals and cut them to size since they don't make the hub decals.

Stoney · 08-04-2011, 10:16 PM

Thanks, I just ordered some from LMC. My passenger side seat did the same thing, cracked almost exactly like that.
I guess all the vibration and movement over the years.

motornut · 08-05-2011, 09:21 AM

if you want I've pressure washed the carpet before while its ut
i scrub with spray nine,for coffee/rust stains
i find it works great to deep clean it

NCTyphoonKid · 08-06-2011, 06:24 PM

redid my headliner today it isn't perfect but its alot better than the one that was falling down

68Timber · 08-06-2011, 08:18 PM

I'm sure that truck is happy to have met you, you're doing a good job bringing it back around to it's original condition.

Thanks I'm sure it is too lol. I redid the pillars in headliner material also major pita but worth it I think. I'll get some pics of it soon

68Timber · 08-06-2011, 09:16 PM

The BFG All Terrain Radials are a classy touch. You brought those factory wheels back well, but if you want to bring them the rest of the way get some Meguiars Hot Rims polish. Use it with a buffing wheel or one of the foam wheels you use with a cordless drill if that's what you have. Mother's polish works great but this stuff works better.

Keep up the good work!
