82 2wd blazer project - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

toeb · 04-20-2011, 08:38 PM

ok so here goes this!! i got a 82 2wd blazer a few weeks ago as a project. it allready had the air ride on it when i got but it does need work. so after i got the thing running i needed to get the other stuff started so this is my project thread!! lol!!! it needed most of the interior the seats and con sole needed to be mounted so on so on!!! lol. well here!

bad steering wheel, billet shifter, i also took the idiot lights out and installed a aftermarket h2o and oil guages.

i got all new carpet, recovered the door panels, and made rear side panels today but i had no time for pics ill get those tomorrow. ive also been working on the airride system the rear end wasnt installed proper. so i hade to pull it out and cut all the mounts and saddles off so i could get it centered up. its a work in progress so there is more to come!!

looking good, keep it up

toeb · 04-20-2011, 08:46 PM

i also got the wipers and highbeams wired up to the sig stalk. i got all power windows and locks out of a 4x4 and so everything has been coverted to power. i put the rear window switch where the wiper switch was on the dash. the front seats, console are out of a 98 tahoe and the rear seat is a 3rd row out of a same year burb.i made the brackets for it so its still a removeable.

toeb · 04-21-2011, 08:10 PM

Lol yeah just a little. The carpet came from lmc it fits ok. I dont really like how the rear fender carpet fits it seems short to me... But I'm a lil picky! Lol I'm waiting on parts for the rearend and I'll get it back on the ground. Get the accents painted for the 22's then she will be ready to Cruz for a bit.

Thanks man. The front inner fenders are out. The rear is untouched the wheel is a 22x9.5 with a +10mm offset and I'm running a 1" adaptor to push it out a little more. Nothing rubs at all in the back it still has a inch or two between the tire and fender. I'll snap some pics of under the hood today for ya!
