Re: 1969 Blazer...To be my daily driver

I mentioned earlier I installed the rear interior panels, they match the seats really well and I am happy how they turned out. They cost me about $150 to do.


I also installed a McWelco storage box. Found a well used one for $80, changed the locks ($30) and used some Al's liner on it... now I have a trunk/lock box. This also prevents my rear seats from being stolen.


I installed a transfer case skid plate thanks to my brother neutering his 4x4 and this steering stabilizer

Re: 1969 Blazer...To be my daily driver

I like the lock box idea. I've been contemplating something similar for mine, but much smaller.

I like the side boxes and would like some thing smaller sometimes, but this fit and was priced right, especially for the quality of this box. I can keep my tools locked up all the time as well as anything else like packs etc, comes in real handy with the top off. Putting large things in the back is tough, but I thought about making a folding "deck" so I could have a flat shelf across the whole back. I also put a hitch on and have a cargo carrier for the back to carrier more gear when needed. I will also be making one for the top of the roll cage when the top is off.

I put the tools, cables, straps in a padded bag, so no rattles and noise from it.

Can't wait to pull the top off here soon!

Thanks! They are made of Naugahyde with foam to raise up the panels. My local interior shop sewed them for me and intalled them on some panels I brought in. They were about $125 for the set.
