Your Blazer is coming along very nicely. The color looks great. If you Blazer and Jimmy guys keep building such cool rides, I'll have to build one of those dang things too. LOL

Thanks. Yours too of course. Deluxe bronze/white + saddle may be my favorite color combo right now. You're rockin it, even if you aren't going back with the pizza cutters.

No, I mean I have my post count per page set higher, so your thread is only on page 8 for me, so you have 5 more pages to go before you get there. Just change your count and then you'll be all good lol

I am set for 40 posts per page

Not a hundred percent on exactly what you're asking, but what we did was use the new reproduction Blazer bed sides. They are complete with inner/outer/front and back structure. I got mine from South Kentucky Classics...but I know GMCPaul and others have them. Inner/outer rocker, floor board, lower A-pillar, etc are all reproduction pieces that most everyone has and require grafting in. The only straight up fab stuff were little patches or connecting pieces.

A little base in the jams and on the inside of the doors.

Hopefully...I had it done at a chrome shop in Atlanta. I was going to send it to Tennessee...but that was gonna take a year and a half and be the most expensive part of the truck. The guys I used took a "reasonable" amount of time and were easy to deal with. Though I was disappointed to receive a blemished piece, they were gung-ho to get it back and fixed asap.

Unfortunately, I sent it all out about a week before I fell into your bumper threads. If I had it to do again, I would have definitely sent it all there.

scf100 · 02-27-2015, 05:48 PM

wow.....looking great ...I need to stop by and see it.....

do you use a shop called like Chrome Brothers in Atl?

Chulisohombre · 02-27-2015, 09:35 PM

Wow that is looking great. better than new. Should last at least another 40 years +. You are taking so much more time than the factory to get it perfect. Can't wait to see paint and all put back together.

You should totally come by...just give me a heads up and we'll give it the once over. Chrome It was the name, the web address it ChromeAtlanta.com. Mack is the guy's name. Fairly easy to deal with.

Thanks...I can't wait either.

**IronCanine** · 02-27-2015, 10:42 PM

Two things went on today with little more than a clean up that are 45 years old. Fan shroud and glove box latch...and they looked pretty darn good. Amazing so much effort goes into rehabilitating, restoring, refinishing or replacing...and they're like, "just let me keep doing what I've been doing for half a century."

...unfortunately the shroud will come back off (like everything, one step forward, two steps back). It seems when they re-cored the radiator, they made it a 1/4" wider. My return rate on parts seems way too high...and it is muy agravante.

Wow. Thanks...I hope it turns out..but this board makes everybody's build better. It's the proverbial rising tide.

**IronCanine** · 03-03-2015, 08:59 PM

Eric decided to go all Bill Nye today and clean up the under dash assemblies (parking brake, pedal mount) with science. They came out awesome.

**DeadheadNM** · 03-05-2015, 11:36 PM

Gentler on the skin than muriatic acid and a similarly good result!

72K5CSTDarkOlive · 03-08-2015, 04:41 PM

Looking great!

I did the sequence on the ball joints/ knuckles you sent to me and it did the trick..It's unbelievable how some things work.

SONOSADSACK · 03-08-2015, 05:57 PM

That is going to be a beautiful truck when it’s finished. Keep the pictures coming.

I'm glad it worked. Credit definitely goes to the board...I just copied it from another thread. That was a remarkably difficult and aggravating step.

Thanks, I hope so...and I will.

**IronCanine** · 03-10-2015, 10:21 PM

Well...this isn't going to work. I already had mixed emotions about not putting together a stock a/c set up. I definitely am not digging the "dealer-installed" compressor position.
