    Added factory style body molding

    I have the molding for my 89 Blazer. The factory molding had the chrome stripe on top. I ordered the all black so I won’t have to worry about the chrome peeling away. Just waiting for it to warm up a bit before I try this.

    Added factory style body molding

    1- how did you cut the trim? 2 - how did you determine where to lay the tape down? Looks like you did it in one solid stripe? did you measure from the body line down? thanks.

    Seized engine?

    I’ll pull the belt and see if the engine spins. That would be a dream outcome to have an accessory locked up instead of the engine.

    1989 Blazer body side molding door emblem?

    Most of my question comes as a result of my not thinking ahead. I tossed the old molding before I realized it would be useful to have until the job is complete. I’m a newbie. I purchased a roll of side molding and new emblems. My question is in regards to how the emblem attaches to the molding...

    Leaf spring bushing destroyed. What would cause this?

    I’m not being a smartass. How do you lube them? Does the actual zerk fitted bolt work? I always kind of thought that was a gimmick but I don’t have any firsthand experience with them. Do you use regular chassis lube? Something like Lucas thick and tacky? thanks.

    Leaf spring bushing destroyed. What would cause this?

    According to ORD website it’s is a Kevlar/poly mixture of bushing and appears to be sized larger than the stock bushings. I would send the pic to ORD and see what they have to say. Maybe it’s an issue they are aware of?

    Amp running boards mounting

    @Redfish Sorry, it is a K5. I don’t know if there is a difference besides the fuel tank? but it could give some idea on how to fabricate his own brackets if he has the skill set

    Amp running boards mounting

    Not my pictures. there’s a guy on another forum that used steps for a 2016, 1500. said he got the brackets from a Facebook group for squarebodys. ghosted the forum when everybody was asking who exactly made the brackets. not my pictures.
