Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project

Messed around with the truck, and in the garage today

Tried to find the two original hooters so that I could reroute the power to the Klaxon.

Failed on that as it seems they are obscured behind the inner arch and wheel arch liner. I could be very wrong.

So plan B will be to find a sensible, safe, dry mounting point for the horn and to route the power into the truck.

Get a decent push button and add it to this little blanking plate.

Also move the toggle switch for the rear fog light from below the dash to this area.



So I want to find another one of these s a spare for the truck in case someone wants to -it it back to standard one day.



Fog light, works but body is rotten.





Something I was not aware of when buying the ZQ8 wheels, was that they come with locking nuts ( I hate them) and the seller wanted to keep them for himself.

Not sure Iever worked with nuts like these before. Outside thread locks the centre cap in place.



And then of course, just to make it more interesting, they have covering caps to find too.



I think I have sourced some wheel nuts from the guy selling me the airbag steering wheel.


So, bit by bit the truck is coming together.
