do blazer full length quarter panels exist - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

coggonobrien · 04-12-2009, 10:01 AM

I'm looking for full lenght replacement panels for my 69 blazer custom. just wondering if they exist or if we'd have to piece them in.

Thanks!
David

I assume you mean rear bed sides. No. but some guys have cut down short bed bed sides.

coggonobrien · 04-12-2009, 06:16 PM

how much work is it to cut down a short box bedside? are you just cutting off the front portion or sectioning the whole thing to fit

Jtrux · 04-12-2009, 06:35 PM

6 inches has to be removed from the front, alot of work but it sure would be worth it since you have a whole brand new bedside.

bouncytruck · 04-12-2009, 10:54 PM

Didn't VT do a build thread on shortening bedsides to fit?

rdpchevynut · 04-14-2009, 12:25 AM

There is some blazer sides listed 4-sale on Minneapolis craigslist for a 72 body, I'm not shure if they worh a 1000 bucks. sorry not shure how to link web page.

IMO:You'll have more than that in two new swb bedsides before cutting them down.

RAB38 · 04-20-2009, 10:16 AM

if some one was willing to pay for shipping on top of the cost for the bed sides than yes

PROJECTT72 · 04-20-2009, 11:01 AM

yes, but no shipping

Does anyone know if either of these would work with a 72 blazer. I am mainly concerned with patchin the area at the very rear, including the taillight. The Price tag on these is much nice than the truck bedside in LMC

So buying the new complete short bed fleetside bedsides is an option? All that has to be done is cut off 6" from the front some other minor work to install and thats it to adapt on a Blazer? That sounds something worth doing if you have the cash available.

im doing it right now.

Bentblazer · 12-02-2009, 08:49 PM

Did it, just take your time!

CTENTA1 · 12-03-2009, 01:37 AM

I just had to say it!
You would think the vendors or manufactures would list.
"BEDSIDES FOR FLEETSIDE SHORT BED P/U 67-72. WILL FIT BLAZER/JIMMY MODIFICATION NEEDED" I would think they could sell more of them. Alot of people will not buy something unless it specifically say's what they want to hear. In this case that it can fit a Blazer or Jimmy by some modification. It's one of those items that is not ment for a blazer/Jimmy but it can be made to fit.

What did you end up doing for the 'b' pillar area?

did you fill in the stake bed holes? (guessing you did)

Any pics?
Is there a "how to" thread anywhere?

Would be excellent info to post.

All of the exterior areas were in decent condition, most of the iiner area I had to rebuild. I am by no means a fabricator and not much of a welder, so as far as a "how to thread" probably not a good idea, but with a little patience I was able to come up with a decent looking side.Did fill stake pockets and cut in gas filler, trying to post befor and after pics
