UPDATE:
Spent all day today trying to get the interior back together. The weather was perfect high 70s with little humidity.
I painted the frames of my seats with rustoleum "hammered". Gives it a similar look to the bed liner I used on the floor.
I painted the $12 amplifer I bought so I can...
I have some that have been on back order for 2 months now.
Emails to several different places claim they to have been on back order for months with no ETA.
Does any one know a place I can get these that has them actually in stock?
Blazer - Upper Header Seal - Inner 76-91 Part # : 01-813...

Part 3:
Got my M1009 canvas seat covers in from Jakota and did some test fitting.

I drilled the holes and...

My M1009 was full of talcum powder type sand when I got it.
I have vacummed, power washed, air blasted, and wiped down the inside of my M1009 and it keeps comming back. Every week when I go to work on my M1009 there is a fine coat of it dusting the interior and windshield.
I am thinking of...
Did you bleed the fuel line/injector lines of air?
That wire that is broken could be the one that runs to the fuel solenoid or IP, I recall reading some place it was the pink one and that looks pink in the video. Of course I am not a CUCV expert and I am probably wrong.
I might have to go with copper then...that way the plastic I use doesn't fall apart in a few years. I will post pics of the mod. Also, was any of this info about threading the shift indicator wire through the gauge bezel in any of the TMs? If so I could not find it.
