    What’s the best way to fix/clean up this wiring problem?

    I would using a Blue Seas SafetyHub. Chase down each wire and try to determine the amperage draw and install the appropriate fuse. This is what I use on my Blazer for all accessories. https://a.co/d/3z5p7Oz

    Kick panel Speaker Mounts

    My stereo does have an amp and I will install a sub but there is some bass that comes thru the speakers as well. These speakers were not that expensive but the system should sound better than it does. Not sure if high end speakers would sound better.

    Kick panel Speaker Mounts

    Installed a pair of kick panel speakers and they sound like crap. I don't think it's the speakers, I think it's the panels and the tiny space for the speakers. I sound deadened the sheetmetal behind the panels. Thinking about taking the panels off and sound deadening the plastic panels. Cannot...

    Engine oil lines.

    I am in the camp that the oil cooler is overkill unless you plan on doing heavy hauling. I did an LS swap on my blazer and deleted the oil cooler. I feel my application is a lot lighter than what that application was originally designed for. If you plan on keeping the cooler, I would change the...

    Reinforcing Door Striker

    I was seeing if anyone else has had this issue and have they done anything about it? My 1973 Blazer door strikers are starting to crack the metal around the nadar pin. My plan is to have the door hinges replaced and then reinforce the door striker. The body shop is going to weld the cracks and...

    What gears

    I have a 1973 Blazer with a LS swap and 4L60E tranny, 4" lift with 33" tires. I changed the gear ratio to 4.56. I think for my set-up, the 4.56 is perfect. If I was running bigger tires, I would definitely go with the 4.88. I am in Capitola. I had Rearend Specialty in Santa Clara change the gear...

    1973 Tailgate Trim Band Replacement

    I have a 1973 K5 Blazer and trying to replace the tailgate trim band. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a clean oem or reproduction one. LMC makes a tailgate trim band for 1981 thru 1991. Does anyone know the difference between a 1973 and 1981 thru 1991 tailgate trim band? Can someone...

    K5 K10 17x8 or 17x9 vision Cheyenne Aluminum rally wheels?

    If you get them please share some photos, I really like the stock rally rim look but wanted to run Wilwood brakes on all four wheels. Large rims then the stock 15s would make that possible.

    K5 Blazer Shift Indicator

    I ended up installing Dakota Digital GSS-3000 Universal Sender Unit for Gear Shift Position Indicator. The column gear selector would have never lined up correctly and I felt it would be problematic over time. The Dakota Digital set-up works well. Unfortunately, this should be part of the Dakota...

    NP241-C, non VSS. Can I convert to VSS or no. No luck!!

    I did install the Walter Engineering VSS on a NP208. I found Walter Engineering VSS problematic. First the signal was very weak and would only start working after I was going 20mph+. I needed to get the speed sensor closer to the reluctor wheel, so I sanded done the speed sensor holder to get it...

    K5 Blazer Shift Indicator

    Yes, I have a total of 7 shift points on my column. I can shift into every gear with the column. I switched out the gear selector indicator from a 3 speed to a 4 speed but can't get the all the shift points to line up correctly.

    I did an LS and 4L60e swap on my 4x4 K5 Blazer. I use a Holly terminator ECU. TC was a NP203 and I changed it out for a NP208. The NP208 and 4L60E is a nice option but creates problems as well. First I needed to install a VSS. I did install the Walter Engineering. I found Walter Engineering VSS...

    Need 1973 - 1975 Windshield to Hardtop Brackets

    Decided to make my owner brackets out of 5" x 3" x 3/16 aluminum stock. Then glued 1/16 rubber sheeting to the inside of the bracket to protect the paint on the windshield side of the vehicle. Came out nice and the stock was relatively cheap, less than $20.

    Need 1973 - 1975 Windshield to Hardtop Brackets

    I am hoping that I can find a set. Someone contacted me on here and they said they had a set. It ended up being a scam. It's a bummer because I have done several transactions via forums such as this, and now my trust has been ruined. Such a bummer.

    Gear Ratio

    I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, everything is very expensive here. That was not the highest estimate I received. One quoted was $2500 per axle. As part of that estimate, I was told the drive axles in the rear end were bad and needed to be replaced as well. This also includes an Eaton...

    1987 Chevy seat belt warning buzzer

    I wish all fixes were that easy, I prefer to disable my seat belt alarms. I am assuming the previous owner felt the same way.

    K5 Blazer values… possibly buying 86 k5

    Looks solid, getting rid of the running boards and putting a nice set of wheels on her would make a world of difference.
