Very nice. Are those new seats in there? No more highbacks? I like it.

RustyBucket · 02-06-2012, 09:30 AM

Thanks Topfuel, all of the ones I've seen are black plastic and too BIG to fit in there. The fill pipe is pretty close to the inside of the quarter panel. The side marker opening is only big enough for my thumb, pointer and diddlin' finger. The bright stainless cap sticking out of the top of the fender on the Jimmy is more appealing every time I gas the Blazer.

I used a weld in custom bike tank filler, screw on billet cap about 2-2 1/2" around.

jeffg1010 · 02-06-2012, 01:26 PM

That is AWESOME! Great job. What did you use for a hinge?

PHAT TONY · 02-06-2012, 03:00 PM

It's just a late '90s fard gas door cut up, I'd guess most anything could be made to work. It did take quite a few hours to get the light to seat just right, it's a total surprise to people who don't know I did this; the light sits perfect when closed.

Very nice looking ride you have there. I hope mine looks half that good some day.

I've been looking for one of those permanent gas caps that has the place in the center where you poke the nozzle in. It'd be a big improvement to swing the hinged side marker light open and just stick the nozzle in. I haven't found a cap small enough to fit inside the opening yet.

Hopefully this link works http://www.haganauto.com/category_s/43.htm.The filler wasnt as expensive as I remembered, it was only $50.00. I guess this info should probably be on a different thread. I'm taking a trip down to the Sacramento Roadster show next week, are there any California Blazers attending.

I love the look of a rear roll pan on a Blazer bum, but I can't bring myself to cut the rear frame to do it!

You don't by any chance have a hitch tucked up under that license do you?

I'd like to have a hidden hitch on mine, but I havent seen anyone do it with a rollpan.

Everything about your blazer is top knotch. The interior is super clean. I really like how you made the glove box match the dash panel, I've never seen that before, hope you dont mind if I borrow that idea for mine.

RustyBucket · 02-09-2012, 12:17 AM

Thanks AGAIN Topfuel, sure wish I could achieve this without having to graft another end onto the filler neck... maybe modify one of the caps from the link you provided.
Regarding the roll pan rear, I like 'em both ways. The P.O. installed the roll pan. He'd cut the frame clean with a sawzall and gave me the pieces when I bought it. Guess I could tack 'em back on and buy a bumper...

I would prefer a bumper. But roll pan was on when I bought it.

It can be done. There was a hidden hitch but I took it off cause I will never tow anything

Thank you very much for the compliment. Glad you like the glove box idea. I don't mind at all. That's what great about this forum we can all share different ideas with each other

DIALRIC,
I am digging that rail on the bedside of your blazer

Kevin,
as much as an attention whore you know my Blazer is how could I have
missed this Thread ?

Nah... keep it that way. I love that Blazer! I like it without the roadster pods too.

RustyBucket · 02-09-2012, 03:15 PM

I've been mad at 'ol "JIMMY FOUR EYES" since my air ratchet smacked me in the mouth while I was putting the new bumper on. My lip healed up... can't stay mad too long. I had a better looking grille and headlight trim. His face scrubbed up pretty good. I think he's a "wannabe" 4wd.--- stock height susp., roll bar, and a spare tire carrier.

LadyBird · 02-09-2012, 09:28 PM

I'm addicted to this thread. Who want's to trade for my '70 stepside?? lol

babyblueoval · 02-09-2012, 09:38 PM

Ok, I've been on this forum for so long I figured I could at least show that I have made some progress. Granted not a whole lot, but some.

Can you say gutted? doors are on cause we didn't have any metal to seld into the door openings. I absolutely could not get the ingition switch out. grrrr

my Redneck lift (or would that be lifts since there's technically more than one?)

4x2 frame sitting next to the former 4x4 frame (it has since been shortened but I don't have that pic available)

OK... off topic, but is that an S10 with a late 70's Mustang front end in the background?!?

ROFL.....

I forgot all about that thing being in that pic. YES. Yes, that is in fact an S10 with a Mustang front end. That's at my friends shop. He was doing some work on it but can't remember what. (no, not putting the s10 front end back on) My friend said the guy likes to be different and really likes it. It takes all kinds.
