This is a picture of the bed of the blazer after all of the rust has been cut out. In the photo you can see where I test fitting the new cross support beam for the rear of the truck bed. I am also checking to see how the tailgate will mount to the new cross support.

This is a view of the first test fit of the new tailgate to the support beam. After I was certain everything was level and square the support beam was welded into its final postion

With the rusted sections cut out of the pasenger side rear quarter panel, the body of the truck was lifted off the frame and supported on blocks. This allowed easy access to position and fit the new cross support beam.

I decided to add a step bumper to the blazer. Since no one made step bumpers for the blazer, I had to fabricate all of the mounts and make minor modifications to the bumper so it would fit the blazer.

After all of the metal work was complete, Bondo was added to the rear quarter panels to smooth out the small imperfections. This is the first picture after hours of block sanding. As you can see I am now using some spot putty to take care of some small pin holes that appeared during the sanding process.
