Your Blazer looks awesome by the way! Well deserved recognition at the show.
Thanks! My Blazer shows code 674 for Blue Vinyl Trim. The dash pad was pretty bad when I got it but a dark blue re-pop dash pad matched perfectly. I bought Parchment seat covers and got the front buckets done just in time for HRPT of 2015 and still haven't re-covered the back seat yet. The parchment seat covers look good in it with the white top, but they show dirt too easily for me, so I haven't decided whether I want to continue with that color change or not yet. I just can't decide what color would look good with the dark blue.

The steering column is painted body color as they all were unless you had a factory tilt, which were all black. I've added some pictures that I have on my computer to show what I have right now, if you need any others, it will have to wait until I get home from TX again.

Yeah, It's working good again. I put about 80 miles on it this weekend running around with a buddy that came into town going to a couple of shows and it shifted good the whole time. I ended up having to come home in the rain which caused my wheels to be even nastier than they already were. I ordered a test size of the clear cerakote shown above to test on a wheel that nobody cares about, if that doesn't work out I may have to get a set of painted wheels that I can just hose off. I love the look of the polished Gassers, but so far I am hating the upkeep that they demand.
