My 87 K5 Blazer project

[Stoney]

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

[NCTyphoonKid]

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

[Stoney]

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]

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]

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

[68Timber]

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

Fantastik Should work, I've used it on millions of things, never has hurt anything.

[Stoney]

Yes, Fantastic will work.

[motornut]

i used spray nine...worked great

[NCTyphoonKid]

Okay cool Thanks guys!

[NCTyphoonKid]

Anybody know anything about the center console lock/latch. Mine will not latch and I can not figure out how to get it to latch any tips appreciated!

[68Timber]

If the console lid is ever slammed shut, the latch mechanism in the lid will break, hate to admit I know this. You may be able to get one from LMC or Classic Parts, then take it to a lock smith and he can make it match your door key like it is supposed to. I did that with the rear window crank on my '79.

if you take something like a toothpick and push the latch hook toward the lid does it ever catch or just swing free. if it just swings free the latch is broken. it happens all the time as they are made out of cheap pot metal. only fix i know of is buy another from a salvage yard

It just swings free I guess I'll have to get another latch at the yard if I can find a good one.

i have found some that would stick open when dirty. it gets a lot of spilled soda/beer in that location. try cleaning the internals with wd40

ok i'll try that

[NCTyphoonKid]

Ready to get an airdam for it

[68Timber]

Looking good.

[NCTyphoonKid]

Thanks I haven't had time to do anything to it lately I've been trying to get my Fiero put back on the road

[thirdstreettito]

Keep those stock bullet-holes on. Dont see them often. I personally like them much better than rallys.

[Altec]

I regret selling my factory aluminum wheels. They have that factory style you just don't get with anything else.

[NCTyphoonKid]

I like the bullet holes but I also like the rallys but I guess I'll keep the old bullet holes on

[motornut]

they look good but maybe look to get some when you want a "change"
I would use steelies for winter salt/abuse up here.....
howd it go with the latch?
i was looking at it yesterday wondering if the glovebox one is the same?

I haven't had time to go mess with that latch I've been meaning to but I haven't gotten around to it
