Ok let's see if I can upload any current pics of the blazer. Ended up buying another blazer and switching bodies out. Hope you all enjoy the new pics.

Well the couple reasons really, 1st reason was that I didn't like how the shaved drop rails looked when the door was closed. 2nd was that there was rust in areas I didn't want to mess with. 3rd is that I really wanted a body that already had all the trim, 4th this new body has power everything

That looks great. What are your plans for the paint? Clear-coat the patina, paint job, or leave it?

Keeping the patina for now, eventually I'd like to do the. Odywork and paint it but I'm a LONG way from that. Like years so I'll probably clear they patina for now.

Re: Drppdblazrs sfbd 79 k5
 
So I am having this issue, When I hit the brakes both turn signal lights on dash light up as well as the front blinker lights on my grill, the actual brake lights work as well. Do you guys see this as a ground issue or what. I thought I had all my grounds, grounded and all that but ill check again. Could this be another issue maybe? Blinker switch is completely busted up in steering column so im going to replace that this weekend. Maybe the brake switch itself?? any ideas would be helpful, im not to much of a wiring guy...Thanks in advance

IIRC the brake light and the hazards are on the same circuit, so I would change the turn signal switch and go from there.

I like the seat covers, and the exhaust looks good. Did you buy the seat covers as a kit? If so, do you mind saying where? That's a recover of stock type seats, right? Thanks in advance for the info.

Yea I did buy the seat upholstery as a kit. I wanted the stock look for now until I can afford to pay someone to make me some seats with plaid inserts.

website I got the kit from is www.carandtruckupholstery.com
