I thought about these as well; but I ended up seeing more cons than pros- for me. Security being the biggest concern. Though we all know if someone wants whats inside bad enough, they will get in, having a top that can be breached with a knife slice doesn't work for me. I feel that having all...

If I recall, the last time I wrestled with drums a light came on in my head that said release the emergency brake. Chocked the wheels and the drums came right off.

85CUCVtom: Here is the link to what I posted on my fix experience. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?54524-What-have-you-done-to-your-CUCV-today-lately-Part-1&p=1188525. To day I installed a new rear window regulator in my Blazer. The handle finally gave out and would not roll the...

Try running a bead of glazier's butyl in the channel. Clean every mating surface. It's like PolyGrip for glass. Be careful, this stuff sticks to everything.

Skinny, why? The cards are hard to come by, and somewhat delicate to be messing with when there is an ACC position. True, you'll have to add a fuse box; but that is pretty easy, and you can restore it to OEM at will. Besides, the whole purpose of having an ACC position to run a radio/com is so...

If you are blowing parts out regularly, if the glass is a 8!@+¢# to crank up and down, or it slips, taking forever to raise the glass, then it's time to open the tailgate panel and do some maintenance. Order a window regulator- all the online GM suppliers carry it. Make notes, take pictures and...

one for auction on the Bay. Look up: 1973-1991 BLAZER JIMMY TAILGATE CABLES AND These are the chrome ones. I bought mine at 1a or someplace. To get a good non-polished finish, I sanded down with a flexible sanding block and the used deglosser/self-etching primer and then 383. Maybe someone...

I have to correct my initial post/observation (#7) I had a chance to take a closer look at my cylinder with the roll pin. Here is a picture of it. You can see where it was pulled from the original cylinder (73Y2) as stamped. Once I pulled the pin, I found I was still unable to rotate backward to...

KiefOlsen92, maybe you think there is something missing because the intake snout on the stock air cleaner is short and looks incomplete. My truck is the same way; but I have been told here that this is normal. K9vic's idea to add a hose to the grille through the radiator support is sound,but you...

My truck is actually not a M1008. Its a 1973 3/4T Custom Deluxe. I painted it camo like a M1008 and couldn't stop. Added an Antenna, rifle rack, Bridge plate and cargo top and bow set. Alas I have to sell my truck. I'm thinking I'll get more overall if I remove the cargo set. Any idea what...

Thanks for all the help. Traced the problem back to a quick disconnect that came off of the toggle switch. Replacing the stereo must have caught the wire and pulled it off. All is good now and the lights work great. With the toggle ON the high beams activate the Driving lamps the lamp on the...

Like I reported yesterday, I got my new headlight harness in. It works great. I click on and the high beams do their thing... nice. But... I wanted to install this toggle switch to take the NEW rack mounted driving lights off-line in heavier traffic. I tried to hook them up as shown. No lights...

max1008, The top will hold up fine as long as you maintain it. I assume you have the relief straps that go over the to pof the bows to keep rain from puddling between bows [too much]. Keep the top puddle free if you are parking it. Either cover the top with a tarp, lower the top and wrap the...

max1008, My M1008 did not come with any of the cargo cover. I had to source all of it from various sellers. The last part I installed was the rail on the tailgate. I had to fab the whole thing up. I bought a bunch of turn buttons and a piece of barstock. I marked the location of the buttons...

After spending the last 2 weeks off and on working on a headlight harness, I finally got around to installing it. Holy smokes! I never realized just how much light I would gain from a dedicated harness. I used two headlight extenders, 2 relays, 2 fuse holders from aliexpress. The wire and...

Nico, Thanks for the picture. I like the way things are tied down. I have only one antenna -on the driver side. ....but... :drool:

I used one of these with a rubber fender washer. My antenna is rear mounted on the driver side. The strap- get a stainless one from ACE Hardware, is mounted near the wheel opening. Its mounted in line with the tie down clamp that hooks the antenna. The clamp on the antenna rests just below the...

My Driver Side seems to be leaking (rear). I know these are not expensive parts; but should I go with a new cylinder or rebuild kit (I don't own a brake hone). Do I buy the ones spec'd for the same year K5 Blazer- Mine is an 85 M1009.

My M1009 is all 383 Green- no camo yet. I have just painted my nearly finished M416 Trailer to match. I have applied the Stenciled numbers to the bumpers; but it is low vis. I am actually ok with it, but I was wondering how many of you paint on a contrasting patch of white to stencil the numbers...

MarcusOReallyus, thanks...
