72 K5 Blazer rear frame ends needed
I am in the process of replacing the back bumper of my 72 Blazer. The previous owner had a custom bumper bolted on and while removing it, I discovered that the rear frame ends were cut off to accommodate that custom bumper.
Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a K5 Blazer frame? I would assume that the ends will have to cut off to fit and then welded back on with reinforcement.

I thought the same thing when I saw the PO welded brackets on to hold on the rear bumper, but probably not. Turns out the rear frame is simply blunt cut and brackets bolt on the back.

69-71 were blunt in the rear two bumper brackets/ea side. 72 had horns with one bracket on each side. 72 rear cross sill was notched to accomdate the horns from the frame.
Post a WTB add in Blazer section. But you have to be a paying member to post a WTB.

Re: 72 K5 Blazer rear frame ends needed
Here's the frame ends the PO cut off when he installed the roll pan. Good guy, he pretty much kept everything he changed or modified on my '72 2wd. I'm gonna keep 'em, might want to reinstall a back bumper someday.

Re: 72 K5 Blazer rear frame ends needed
Are the horns on a 2wd the same as a 4 WD ?
