Starting Interior on my '84 K5 - Burgundy

[bigschuss]

Lookin' sharp. Aside from that vile disgusting blue t tap thing. That's the devil, right there.

Yeah, I hear you. I forgot what the PO had that going to? But I cut it right out.

Thanks man.

Rear scuff plate and spare tire installed. I run 35's, but could only squeeze in a 32 for a spare.

Added an air dam. I know a lot of guys take these off. I like the look.

That's all for now. Going to enjoy it this summer and then think about taking care of the chassis next winter. I've also got some rust where the cap meets the body that I need to take care of. Hope you've enjoyed.

Dude, that interior is great!
I hope mine turns out that well.

Thought I'd post an update of the final work on my interior. It wasn't meant to be a complete interior restoration...just wanted to clean it up, take care of some rust issues, and make it look nice.

After I painted the floor with POR 15 I then used 2 boxes of KILMAT I found on Amazon. It was just enough to do the entire Blazer plus the sides of the rear cargo area.

I then put down extra Jute padding in the rear cargo area and glued on the wheel well carpet pieces.

And then the rear cargo area carpet, rear seat, spare tire carrier, and side panels. Found the panels on Facebook....not perfect, but pretty darn clean originals with no speaker holes.

What was the thickness of the Kilmat you used 50mil?

Mines got the same color scheme.

85. I need to redo my interior as well but I'm just cleaning it up for now.

 

[JIMDINK]

Yes...exactly. 50 mil.

Thanks, I'm gearing up for the interior and really liked your results.

Sounds good man. Looking forward to seeing the results.

You bet. 2 boxes of the Kilmat was enough for the entire floor and the sides.

Good luck with your project. Be sure to post your progress. Would love to see it.

Will do, I've been kinda slacking lately but I will try to remember to take photos.
