Been working on my interior a little, whatcha think? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

It's slowly coming together. Got the new carpet in, including underlayment in the rear and that dynamat-like roofing foil under that.

then upholstery. new foams, houndstooth, and the best money I've spent yet...Seat Heaters!!!

Then paint/plastic dye on the door panels, arm rests, and new seat backs.

a few stereo components and I decided to remove the woodgrain from the doors. It just didn't make sense. Also removed the armrests from the rear seat (though I purchased and painted new ones, just in case.)

The previous condition (for comparison...)

And the new stuff...

I'm also having PT's70CST rebuild my center console but it's not quite finished yet.

You can see it all on my web album, http://picasaweb.google.com/ColinLSt...ey=sbHe4aqOklk

I'm still waffling about purchasing new side panels or building my own, with some way to integrate the scroll pattern...

(sorry about the pic size...)

well, i don't know what's happening with the image links, so i just uploaded smaller versions...

VERY NICE !!!!!!You are doing a great job of updating it while keeping the original look and feel of the Blazer.

Looks great! What do you have the iPod tied into?

when the radio was rebuilt, the new electronics allowed for an aux input. Mr. Tayman (www.taymanelectrical.com) mounted RCA inputs on the rear of the radio chassis, and that's where the ipod plugs in. it works in regular radio mode until it senses a signal through aux, at which point it switches to the ipod. it switches back to radio after 10 secs of no signal through aux. pretty basic, i think... but that's why i think it works so well. basic. see below

and the back of the radio looks like this:

Am I the only one that cant see the first posts pics?

**jamie72** · 04-22-2008, 11:11 PM

no i can`t either...

cstanley · 04-22-2008, 11:36 PM

hmm... not sure how to get them to work. they are posted on a blog hosted by google instead of being embedded in this page. maybe they are being blocked? you could also click the link at the end, it should show them...

thanks for looking

Red X's but the radio mod is cool!!!

cstanley · 04-23-2008, 12:06 AM

i might have just fixed it.

**Yukon Jack** · 04-23-2008, 12:21 AM

That looks great! My daughters would really dig it if I had a radio and it could hook up to their Ipods!

BLUE THUNDER · 04-23-2008, 04:16 AM

Dude, that is one sweet lookin interior. The radio is a great touch too. Later, Mario

Mint68 · 04-23-2008, 06:58 AM

I'm glad to see you kept the speakers out of the side panels. I hate to see holes cut into them. Looks good, I wish my am/fm was built like yours.

Big J · 04-23-2008, 03:35 PM

The colors look great! Nice job.

jaros44sr · 04-23-2008, 03:37 PM

Nice work, should look sweet with that new console in there

that's basically where the speakers will wind up. I'm building some sort of little box for them and the sub, all removable and vinyl-covered. hopefully it will look ok.

and I can't wait for that console... it looks nice!

Nice work. Nice and clean original look. I love it.

I have to commend you on a job well done. Great work!

Thanks for sharing
