Got em in my '72. There is one in front of the rear seat and one in back. The factory rubber mat is over the top. I figured they were something that only came with the rubber mat flooring.

Weird. Had one of those in the back of my K5 when I bought it, had no idea it was original. Threw it into the parts truck with all the other

stuff.

Here's your chance to buy one back.

Yes, they are factory, under rubber mats and carpet. He is also selling Blazer/Jimmy bed spare tire holder.

blazerparts · 11-30-2005, 08:00 PM

I've got a set of them too, and another set from a previous blazer I had. Should I put those back in prior to carpet? I was going to put fatmat on the bed, but it would follow the contour of the bed, perhaps leaving peaks and valleys. Maybe I should put down the leveling mats down and fatmat on top of those?

LUV2XCLR8 · 11-30-2005, 08:26 PM

Nice looking rear seat, but shipping

VinceY · 11-30-2005, 08:41 PM

Clarification needed.
Is it supposed to level the ridges in the floor, or level the floor with the carpet strip, or what exactly is it leveling?

blazerparts · 11-30-2005, 09:07 PM

It levels out the bed flutes.

bouncytruck · 11-30-2005, 11:03 PM

Exactly - they just make the surface of the bed flat.

red71cheyenne · 12-01-2005, 02:35 AM

Neat idea. Don't think I would have worried about it though. I'm not going to spend much time back there

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 12-01-2005, 10:02 PM

I am pretty sure I can live with out those...$100 bones ouch

blazerparts · 12-01-2005, 10:36 PM

maybe I should just sell them.........

vtblazer · 12-02-2005, 10:39 AM

I've got a couple sets also, came from various blazers.

Always thought they were more for drainage...

Never considered the leveling thing.

**pound41** · 12-02-2005, 06:56 PM

They are for both leveling and drainage. Also as a young kid who would sit on the floor in front of the back seat on long trips. They also must provide a fair amount of padding couldn't do that on a bare bed. Plus I would think they would save some wear and tear and streching on your mat or carpet. Someone was actually thinking back then

**SOON2BLAZE** · 12-07-2005, 02:12 PM

These also seem to offer a degree of noise reduction.

Scrubby · 12-07-2005, 04:37 PM

Dang! He got $150 for the tire carrier. Maybe I should part with mine.
