Re: 71' Blazer Rust bucket build
Well got a chance to spend a few hours on the blazer tonight. Original plan was to do the rocker boxes and supporting pcs. first then tackle the rear floor, then the driver windshield pillar. My line of thinking was to keep the doors closed and the top on until the rocker area was done. After getting the rocker box out I see that it aint gonna happen that way.It appears to me that I am going to have to take the top off and rear quarters and get the rear floor replaced first. The wonderful engineers at GM made it so you cant get to two of the bolt heads to remove the inner panels unless you remove the quarter panels including the B pillar. looks like I may as well go ahead and tear the whole rig down and start from scratch. It i the only way I see to get to everything and do it right

Re: 71' Blazer Rust bucket build
I just got done most of the same build your going to do. I left the top on and did the A pillars, floors, inner rockers and boxes before removing the bed and quarters. I removed the cover on the B pillar to get to those two bolts hidden in there and also fix the step/floor support. Here's my photobucket link for lots of pics.
