Was holding out for some original buckets but got a good deal on some Tahoe buckets. Got them installed yesterday.

Looks pretty nice. I think I'll be getting the same when I get to
My interior resto.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Bought a new battery. Hopefully this cures the latest dead battery issue.

I put my NOS USA-1 plate on my 72 today. Didn't take a picture though.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Got some parts back from coating: zinc plated, turned out excellent. They look new. You can read the date code etc. on the clamps.
Hat's off to members 72K5CSTDarkOlive and Ironcanine for calling my attention to this process, which restores the original finish. Thank you!

Wow! I didn't know about this. My struts could use this treatment. Point me in the right direction, Pete.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
The parts looks even better in person! Those little springs in the struts look great. I dropped off a pile of greasy parts (struts, riser, hatch strikers, clamps, bolts) that I did not prep or clean in any way to Kaehr Coatings in Albuquerque on a recent visit: http://www.kaehr.com/index.cfm
They have a minimum charge of $135 IIRC, which is what I paid plus return shipping cost. This is a great way to go. Kaehr also does phosphate coating (Parkerizing) for door strikersm body bolts, hinges, etc., which also return looking new.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Sweet. I also wanted to get my tow hooks parkerised as well. Looks like a one stop shop. I'll be contacting them as soon as I'm ready.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
The PO installed aftermarket clear marker lenses. I found some really nice OEM Amber marker lenses and OEM screws on this forum. I love this place! Looks way better. Like it should. The little things that make us happy. Lol.
On it's way is an OEM blue Bowtie grill emblem. Mine has faded to clear. Last edited by Senorx; 02-06-2015 at 04:18 PM. |

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Nice Jimmy, Chad75! I'm spending some time down here in the Yuma Foothills getting away from Minnesota. Just spent a good part of the day driving around in area looking at all the old Chevy trucks baking in the sun. No rust!

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
This took some time but thought I would share. Got new front wheel bearings, seals, and brake pads and installed them. I got so tired of "life time warenty" alternators from Napa dieing on me every 4-6 months and ordered a power master 110 amp alternator. Also installed a 3 core Champion aluminum radiator and dual 14" electric fans. Also put new MSD street fire distributor, 8.5 mm wires, Weiand Stelth intake, and Edelbrock carb. Just thought I would share for thought provoking or motivation 👍

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
I'm putting in a new ignition switch. The wire that comes from the Voltage Regulator then goes into the back of the fuse panel connects to the switch but I can't find where it comes out of fuse panel.
Anyone know what color wire it is. I have a brown/white stripe wire that is one small silver wire that isn't connected to anything and looks like it was connected to old ignition switch. My new ignition switch plug has pink wire, double red wires, purple wire, double green wires, double brown wires. Have all but alternator wire figured out. Any help is greatly appreciated. |

I primed and painted some old Rally Wheels and put them on some new tires. I just need to put on the rings.

Super, I like the new shiny bumper, but I really like that it's got a New Mexico plate!
