73-91 K5 Blazer Jimmy front & rear sill scuff trim plates NEW "Price Drop"
 
*BACK IN STOCK. Shipping March 12th, 2020! GO TO LAST PAGE!
After a lot of false starts over last few yrs, , pretty stoked I finally got these ready to go. It's a fairly complex piece to make but I'm happy with way they turned out. I'm real picky when it comes to my truck and wanted a product that I would I buy.

These fit all full size Blazers & Jimmy from 1973 to 1991. I checked those against a bunch of trucks and against several plates.
The 73-91 rear scuff plate is often trashed and just plain missing and NOS is long gone and not cheap if you do find one.

Made in right here in California from US material.
Not made overseas whatsoever!

I made them thicker than the originals so they are a little more dent resistant and also made rear lip that sits on the carpet longer so carpet stays put.
They come covered in protective vinyl with a mill finish that matches original but can be polished to a mirror if thats look you want.
I will also be including proper GM small head oval #8 screws with the plate.
Plate works best on fresh carpet or rubber mat with underlay. They work fine on old carpet but sometimes they can get caught under the tail gate if carpet is really mashed down. Flattened carpet can put plate at wrong angle.

They are NOW $110 shipped anywhere in lower 48.
Look over the pix and PM or reply here with questions.
Installed in another members K5 who was part of the in field testing team. :)

Do you know if it will also fit a Suburban?

Sorry they don't. With barn doors and tailgate Sub's floor rear are different.
With enough interest, I'd make 'em.

I looked forever for a nice original one and they just don't exist. That area got hammered over the years with cargo in and out.
Yours is actually better than the original!

Package received 4 days later. Awesome. Part looks great. I am months away from putting it on, so no pictures for you. It's awesome to find rare missing parts. Even better when the repo parts are better than the originals. Thanks!!

Think I could, Bill, but let me figure out what the difference will be. pid had a pick up service in US so I just sent it there.

I need one Irish. They look great and will be a big step up from the piece of side trim I've currently got acting as a sill plate. I'll shoot you a PM.

Irish, All I can say is WOW!!! Fastest shipment I have received in quite some time, 3 days CA to OH. The Quality is par excellent. This is what I have wanted!!

Now if you can do a Front sill plate to match it will be even better.

Thank you for caring and for your skill in providing this rare part. You will do great.

I am still working on my truck so probably will have this installed for awhile but trial fit without carpet shows this will work fantastic.

Irish1941 04-12-2018 11:21 PM

Re: 73-91 K5 Blazer Jimmy rear sill scuff plates NEW
 
Thanks! Means a lot! Worked hard on getting solid product.
My VP of quality control was quite concerned about the screw count.
She's only 5 but she values her job. 9 screws per bag!
Very concerned that everybody liked the screws and count was correct. haha
Working on the front 73-77 plate. Stay tuned.

Still have some sill plates left from this run.
Get one before they are gone!
New metal tariffs are driving domestic prices way up. Not sure
if I'll do another run.

Sold out for now. Many thanks to all those who got one.
I may do 2nd run in next few weeks.
I do have a few with minor scratches. Most could be sanded and polished out.
If you need something not 100% show truck, send me a PM.
$80 shipped in lower 48.

Re: 73-91 K5 Blazer Jimmy rear sill scuff plates NEW
 
Do you still have some of these? Did you do a second run? If not, I would still be interested in one with minor scratches.

I tried to send you a private message, but it wouldn't let me and gave me this response, "Irish1941 has exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space."

Re: 73-91 K5 Blazer Jimmy rear sill scuff plates NEW
 
So sorry for my slow replies. Our small family got alittle smaller over past few months. Hospice and all that stuff.
Wasn't really thinking on truck stuff.
Anyway, I have 15 plates left.
Minor scratch here or there. Screw holes are little bigger than GM #6 head but #8 work just fine which they will come with. They are correct chrome oval head #8 but only a die hard would know the difference.
I have enough packing material for 7 at the moment.
$80 shipped quote still stands.

Anyway...
I'm pretty sure will be doing another run of these but it'll be month at least before I get it sorted it out. Trying new way to do it and eliminate the screw up factor. Metal costs have gone up too but price won't change as of this writing.

Irish1941 09-26-2018 02:43 PM

Re: 73-91 K5 Blazer Jimmy rear sill scuff plates NEW
 
Had some questions about the degree of scratches so thought I'd post few pix so you can see what 99% of the scratches look like.
Most times the vinyl did its job.
This one looks like it might be bad.
http://i64.tinypic.com/nw0ao8.jpg
Peel off the vinyl and looks to be scratched.
http://i66.tinypic.com/2utg8yb.jpg
But rub it with some acetone and it was just vinyl glue.
http://i63.tinypic.com/2db5h5z.jpg

Some are truly scratched though albeit small.
Heres is one. Did penny for scale.
http://i63.tinypic.com/25t7xpf.jpg
peeled back vinyl.
http://i63.tinypic.com/2prs41h.jpg
Wet sanded 1500 thru 2500 then quick hand polish with Mothers and its pretty much gone.
Feel free to PM any questions.
http://i67.tinypic.com/i1hcp3.jpg

Down to 2 plates. First come first serve.
If you want one reply to the thread.

Any word on another run of these and if you'll be doing the front plate also?

Crcrft78 10-14-2018 03:10 AM

Re: 73-91 K5 Blazer Jimmy rear sill scuff plates NEW
 
Have you thought about doing the trim plates that go on the fulltops where they bolt back onto the body?

Irish1941 10-14-2018 08:49 PM

Sorry for slow reply.
I will do more depending on interest. Lots of “I want I want” but then crickets...
As for the 73-77 front plate, I’d do it but it was stainless from GM and yet to find a good example to reproduce
I assume that’s what you meant by full roof plate
And I have 2 of the seconds left..

I was asking about these plates along with the front and rear scuff plates. I would think there would be a market for all of these parts.

Irish1941 10-14-2018 10:40 PM

Ah..ok. 73-75 only. Your post makes senses now.
Those were heavy chrome plated steel

No way I could do those without heavy investment. Just not enough of a market for the 35k trucks they built for those yrs. Maybe 10% left in exsistance. Be cheaper to fix and replate what you have.
Had two pairs for ever and ended up just giving them away due to lack of interest
