Well i steam cleaned/degreased for about 3 hours last night !! I think i have it just about clean enough for disassembly to start ! I layed under it and cleaned the floor and everything, i am pumped about how clean the body is !! I did however find one rust hole in the drivers rocker panel about the size of a pencil eraser . Here are some before bath pictures !

**67cheby** · 12-01-2012, 10:26 AM

and some after bath pictures...amazing what a little hot water and degreaser will do !

**67cheby** · 12-01-2012, 10:29 AM

And now ...on another note ! I recieved an UNBELIEVABLE call from a company last night , that i will share with you next week as soon as we have all of the details wrapped up !!! I AM EXTREMELY EXCITED !

Hey Mike, when are you going to announce who the mystery sponsor is? Either that, or I'm guessing that someone is going to do a reality show on you while you do your Blazer! I know I'd sure as heck watch!

This build is already draining my phone battery with all the updates. Might have to set it for daily emails vs. instant. Either way I'm gla I got in on this one at the beginning. Now hurry up and get it done.

U may have to cut a hole in the top for their heads!!!......lol....jim

babyblueoval · 12-01-2012, 06:49 PM

Mike, mine isn't planned to lay frame but it won't be far from it. It'll be very close to how Gringoloco's blazer sat after he installed the PB front end. With that much of a notch the seat should strattle it just about perfectly. Seems like the legs on my rear seat are about 6" tall so that would allow you to put a 6" tall hump in the bed which should allow you to add a 6 1/2"-7" tall C-notch. I don't have any pictures but that should help. Gringo may chime in also since he's actually done it and the new owner (sorry, name escapes me) can probably give you more info also.

babyblueoval · 12-01-2012, 06:51 PM

Of course this is contingent on an '87 bed being basically the same as a '69-'72 but I can't imagine they would be much different.

babyblueoval · 12-01-2012, 06:55 PM

One more thing, the padding in the rear seat is quite thick, about 6" tall. That could always be trimmed down and still be plenty confortable. Most modern car padding is only about 4" thick just more dense.

**67cheby** · 12-01-2012, 06:46 PM

LOL...thanks Jim !

**67cheby** · 12-01-2012, 07:01 PM

The rear seat in the k5 sets flat on the floor , no risers on it

I heard some one used a rear seat out of a jeep when they laid out there blazer....not sure tho

watahyahknow · 12-01-2012, 07:46 PM

from wat i seen on porterbuilds website their new stepnotch kit only needs the floor of a pickupbed raised 4 to 5 inches doesnt say if its for the square though

i pulled this from that tread :

The top of the notch sits right at 5" above the top of the frame rail. I would guess that if you ran this notch and modified the brackets for the seat (basically bolted the seat to the notch cover) you would be pretty close. You will need to take some measurements to confirm, but I think it's doable.

shawno72 · 12-01-2012, 08:25 PM

Amazing speed, what's next?

gringoloco · 12-01-2012, 09:02 PM

Yeah, on mine the notch came in around 4" and that would have raised the stock seat an inch or so. I wasn't laying all the way out, but I like a little rake, so it worked for me.

Options would be to cut the seat down, both the bottom and top, move the seat in front of the notch, or go with an IRS. There's no easy way--part of why I ended up with the 'short' step notch.

maibe you could try some springed seat that are basicly hollow on the inside
the ones from an old vw van are like that

, you might be able to shape that frame so it will fit the stock backrest of the blazer
