Re: Wood floor Blazer
The wood floor is on my list of favorite Blazer mods. I can't see covering it with the back seat either. But maybe bucket seats wouldn't hide it as much.

Re: Wood floor Blazer

Re: Wood floor Blazer
Did you put the wood over the metal or cut the old metal bed floor out?

So, you have to cut away bed floor up to the next cross brace so you can see what you are doing and also see where the spot welds are.....Dremel makes a great new tool, that is similiar to a circular saw, and works well to cut across the corrugated bed floor Ask all the questions you want, and i hope i have the answers

Re: Wood floor Blazer
Funny I never saw this thread before. Jaros44sr, your wood floor is the only wood floor Blazer pic I've found on the net. I'm sure more have been done. I just had a bunch of sheet metal bent up for the wood floor in my '71. As far as mounting a back seat, I plan to. As long as all the under bracing is done properly, it should be plenty safe. 3/4" quarter sawn white oak is very strong and is tied into the body very firmly with steel or aluminum bed rails and 6 5/16" bolts per rail. Factory 10 gauge steel plate that the original seat blets mounted to will be under there as well.

Re: Wood floor Blazer
I would think that if you install a rear seat and all bolts are connected to a full width uchannel cross brace you'd be fine as long as your flooring is a species with good linear grain strength like white oak or hard maple. It would take a total failure of the decking to break loose and would probably take as much or more to do that as the tear strength of 16ga steel.

Re: Wood floor Blazer
I know the rear seat mounted in the wood seems bad but its how the 67-72 Suburban rear seat is mounted and they were all plywood even
