Progress on the 1970 2WD. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Classic Heartbeat** · 07-10-2006, 01:43 AM

Well I made some progress over the weakend on my 70 2WD Blazer. It had a rather large dent on the driver's side wheel well and it was rusted out in the lower rear quarter next to the wheel well. So I decided to cut out the bad area and shave the gas filler at the same time. The rocker boxes should be here mondat, so I can finnish the driver's side rocker box replacement and set it on the ground!! Then it will be time to pull whats left of the front clip, engine, & transmission in preperation for lifting the body of the chassis. Then off to the powder coaters with the chassis..

Sorry, I forgot to take befor pictures...

Hey Wes, any update on the 67 panel?

Ya, we finaly got the driver's side completely done after the last guy screwed it up. I will take some pictures once the blazer is on the ground and rolling again. Wright now they are parked too close together for a good shot, that is why the bad angle on this repair job. WES

where are you going to fill the gas tank from? brake light?

bouncytruck · 07-10-2006, 11:09 AM

Lookin' good. Did you use an aftermarket patch panel or is it a piece from one of your many spares?

**Classic Heartbeat** · 07-10-2006, 11:22 AM

hotrodhomi, The gas filler will be behind the rear side marker. bouncytruck, It came off of a bedside that oterwise was un-usable. I don't sell very many of the large wheel well patches, so I don't stock them. I just decided to do this one day, so out came the plasma cutter, and cuttoff wheel..lol WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

Blazer progress looking good and just looked at some of your prices on parts on your online catalog. Good prices. Looks like I will be hitting you up on some parts as I just bought a 72 swb cheyenne. My Blazer fortunately is rust free all original metal. What kind of luck on the Blazer doors? I was going to cut mine down to match the bedsides and make a roadster out of my 2wd. I just didnt want to cut up all original rust free doors. They do not even have a dent on the inside of the doors or holes cut for speakers!!!

72CSTC5, you can just send me yours and I will send you a set that you can cut down and not feel bad about...lol I promise I will not cut them either..

Do you have a picture of this? I would like to see how it works. Is there a kit?

hotrodhomi, Wes has a "How-to" write upon moving the filler neck behind the side marker on his web site.
