She has a Facebook page, "73-87 Chevy/GMC Truck Seatbelt Restorations". Her Name is Tina. Lives in Ohio all is above board. She does awesome work and quick, good communication. I went to her site, messaged her and she answered right away gave me her info and a quote. The day she received my belts she sent me a picture of them already tore down. She also had her truck on this site at onetime. That's how I originally found her site.
Okay, I think I know who you are referring to. She doesn’t do Suburban seat belts for some reason.

Ok well this was weird my buddy stopped by handed me a carboard envelope said this is for you, no your not being served I got to take the wife somewhere call you later and left, Odd

Open it up to find this. Two magnetic door placards with the year as the number and my initial and last name on them, Cool deal. So had to run out there and take a pic with at least one on the truck. Probably not going to drive it around like that but it is kind of neat. Now maybe if it had some kind of 70s street machine/race paint job. lol

But he told the cops to watch out for this pickup with numbers on the door ;)
Well unfortunately since I drive mine and there are like 4 others in town 3 of them are yard art and the other is a lifted 4x4 they probably already ran me several times especially since I'm loud and have Historic plates.

Loaded it on the car hauler and taking it south for 90 minutes to a shop in Danville VA for estimates on painting the bed rails where they’re scratched and dinged from the top being removed and installed over the years. I may put the top on one year but have no plans to for now. Also getting some panel alignment issues fixed and getting the seats reupholstered.

Would have driven it normally as it’s a gorgeous day and a nice drive, but needed the option of leaving it there if I like what see and hear.

It is a nice town. The shop I'm going to is called KTL Restorations. They seem to have a good rep and take their cars to events like SEMA and last weeks Triple Crown in TN. There are just no shops around here locally that do much more than collision repair and/or they cannot keep a vehicle inside 24/7 so I had to expand my search. We'll see!

Oh yeah, our marketing team works (or did, I'm out of the loop so idk if they're actively working with them now) with KTL quite a bit. Kurt and Krystal I believe. I've met them a couple times, they're good at what they do. Specialize in Mercury Cougars but work on anything.

In the Blazer original paint? I assumed it was repainted as clean as it is.

Pulled the door vent windows out of the barn, they are ugly and need a rebuild. Sent a request to Precision we'll see don't think they can rebuild the passenger side the window rail is bent. Can't find anywhere to order that piece.

A little shameless self promotion here, but I do have a complete passenger side assembly on the classifieds Here

I shipped the other one I had, figure about $25 to ship UPS.

Let me know if you might be interested.

What year are your wing windows? 73-80 are a two piece seal, 1981-1985 are a two piece seal, but the glass is a little shorter than the 73-80, and 86-91 is the one piece design, but the glass should be the same as 81+.

The second post in the ad is for a Passenger side assembly from a 1977, two piece seal.

Replaced the blower motor and wheel. The last one lasted 10 years. I had replaced it when I replaced the heater core. The blower was the only part I didn't replace last year when I redid the AC system. Has anyone seen a replacement for the vent tube?
