While taking breaks recovering from the black lung, I rebuilt my heater box. All of the original foam gaskets were rotted, and the flaps inside were starting to rust.

So, using a combination of neoprene and other closed cell foam, I redid all the gaskets and POR15'd the flaps and back cover. Also took this time to upgrade to the Blazer blower motor.








Had to get creative and make some new flanged bushings for the flaps to ride on, as the originals were broken or missing.

First try bushings were too large.






Also let my OCD run wild with POR15 and the dash/firewall bracketry. And rebuilt my steering column/shafts.
