Been lurking and learning here for a few years now. Pretty sure this is my first truck related thread. I used to work on K5's and K10's when I was 20 something...haven't touched one for 30 years, so I am relearning everything.
Pulled this Blazer out of Oregon 2 years ago and have been driving it while figuring out where I want to go with it. Going to start with a new interior...just wanted to get some advice about the best way to go.
- Going to clean and reinstall all the molding.
- New plastic headliner with the built in speakers from LMC.
- Reupholster the front and rear seats.
- I found some really nice OEM side panels in burgundy.
- New paint on the door panels
- heavy duty power window harness from LMC
- Some kind of a new floor...burgundy carpet, insulation, sound control?
I guess my biggest question is about the best way to prep the floor after I take care of the rust? The metal is all in very nice condition. I've got some minimal rust on the driver's side sill. So, sand, brush, and primer. Wondering how you guys have then finished the floor...POR 15, bed liner, simple paint?
And how about the best way to tackle the carpet adhesive on the wheel wells. Heat gun, solvent, scraper?
It's not a mud truck. My wife and kids enjoy it spring through fall...fishing, camping, back road cruising...pretty tame stuff like that.
Thanks in advance. Would appreciate any advice or suggestions.
