Differences on a 70 compared to a 71-72

A couple differences I found on a 70 blazer I was working on

1. Door hinge bolts where pointed, that's probably a help getting the bolts started.

2. The hatch hinge bolts on the top side just have round holes with plugs. I can't find the picture so I'll get another one.

Re: Differences on a 70 compared to a 71-72

Something else I found interesting. It looks like it has provisions for a spare tire carrier behind the drivers seat by mistake or order change. There is bolt holes in the floor for the back seat and a set for a tire carrier behind it. Wonder if the plug and screws are from the factory or home brewed.

Interesting. Did the SPID call out a back seat?

That's odd. Looks factory, huh?

Yes, it does, I'd bet the plugs are the same as the firewall insulation.

Oh yeah the rubber ones Wes reproduces. I bet you caught a factory goof.
