Finally got the parts truck delivered, maybe that means one of these days I'll start working on the blazer

I've been looking half arse-idly for a box early 2dr blazer/jimmy. They don't exist anymore. They are all wasted. Even the curvy 2nd gen versions, all destroyed.

There's a few, only reason I know is after I got mine a buddy has been looking. There were 2 nice ones in PA, my buddy sent an offer on the one that must have been too low so the guy wouldn't reply back. But if you go into the groups on Facebook there is a good bit of decent ones listed just they don't have them anywhere else
 
I built a skeleton out of pvc to keep the water/snow from pooling up and ripping the tarp. Its my friends boat but I rebuilt the deck, installed the new interior and built the console. So its his boat but my project 😆. My son absolutely loves the water. Swimming,fishing,tubing it dont matter as long as hes at the lake. Im able to use it anytime, So I try to take good care of it.

It got finished in the dark. It goes all the way to the front.
 
It rained here for a little more than three days straight, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, on into Sunday morning. Saturday evening my brother discovered water on the driver's side door panel of his 02 Sierra Extended Cab. Both sunvisors were wet. The front portion of the headliner was wet. The front floorboards on both sides were wet.

Sunday morning we pulled it in the garage, to get out of the rain and started investigating. We ended up working on it all day Sunday. We pulled the headliner, seats, console, carpet, jute padding etc. It came apart pretty nice. I only broke one tab on one trim panel and we glued it back together.

The passenger front and rear floorboards were soaked. The driver's side wasn't that wet, though I did find moisture behind the A-Pillar trim and the kick panel over there. I found the same on the passenger side. All I can figure is the windshield is leaking and has suddenly gotten worse. The truck was in the driveway pulled in front first, so the front of the truck was higher than the rear. That side of the driveway slopes to the passenger side.

We put the seats back in it so it is usable for the time being. We ordered new carpet and are trying to figure out who we'll get to do the headliner for us. We also ordered a box of the Eastwood X-Mat (their version of Dynamat).

We caught this in time. The floor pans are spotless. The truck didn't stink. I think we saved the jute padding. The next step is to take the hose to it and try to pinpoint the location of the leak. Here's some pics of our day....

Man, that's a lot of plastic.

I'd definitely roll w/it bare for a week or two & hopefully it sees some rain. That in addition to the water-hose if you don't find the 'ahh-ha' location immediately apparent.
