1974 Jimmy

I’ll need to repair rust on the lip where the bed connects. This was the reason I removed the bed and I’m glad I did.

I do neeed some help identify the gasket/membrane between the bed and the cab.

I truly believe this is a rubber gasket and not some type of seam sealer. It’s too uniform and playable to be anything other than a gasket.

It’s still good enough I might can clean it up and reuse.

If anyone ever needs to do this, there are four welds, two on each side, connecting the front bed rail to the rocker boxes. Have it supported good because once those welds are cut it falls into the two sections.

While the Jimmy body is with the body guy, I’m rebuilding my steering column.

Does anyone know what hazard switch was original to the 74 Jimmys? It looks like there are two options, a round knob or a golf tee looking knob.

Mine is gone and I’ve no clue what it should be.

I’m not absolutely certain but I believe that era truck used the golf tee type switch.
All the squares that I owned used that type.

The tee is what my 74 Blazer had.

Thanks. That seems to be the general consensus.

Now I only need to figure out what all is missing.

For the version that looks like a knob, they offer a kit with a screw, spring, base and knob.



For the tee, they only sell the tee. I did find the screw. I don’t know if there are more guts that I need to buy.
