If you don't go soft top you can always modify a camper shell hatch to work. I am in the process of doing this now I finally got fed up with replacing tailgate windows from stock blazer latches popping open happened 3 times and the last time was in the snow which made for a rather cold ride home. This is only going to be a temporary fix for me though because I plan on getting a soft top.

Thanks for the info guy's. How hard is it to put a pick up tailgate on a blazer? What has to be done?

tis easy. You need different hardware though, but the parts are easy to get from Pick n pull for $20 and the mounting holes should already be there on the blazer.

It sounds like it will bolt right up without any cutting or mods.

That it does. Keep your original pieces and you can return it to stock later on if you want.

it took me 3 visits to the pick n pull to get a decent tailgate and the right hardware. Total cost $50. i have it on standby for a change from the correct tailgate.

Just make sure the tail gate and hardware are from the same "generation" of tail gates. I hear the trunions and hinges can be different from an early 70s to a later 80s. Best bet, just get it all from the same truck. Holes and threads are already in the blazer. They use the same fenders.
