How about the rear floor? They make truck steel floors now for both the long and short beds.

That area at the rear of the door jamb and behind the seats, where the seat belts bolt in seems like a common rust area and I'm not aware of a patch for it.

A better, more affordable rear hatch would be great. The only repro one fits poorly for the handle, the quality (I've heard) is not so good.

If the whole upper windshield frame is too much trouble, a patch panel for the inner side, like they have now for truck cabs would be good.

The frame body mounts that are unique to blazers might be good. Mine are severely rusted on my 2wd frame. I need to find replacements or weld repair the ones I have.

How about the gas filler cover piece on the inside of the bed. The bottoms are always rusted off out here.

Carpet hold down strips are hard to find. Even poor quality used ones sell if they can be repainted or chromed.

Are there seat backs available for these? That plastic one for the buckets?

Hello,

Im new to the 69-72 Blazers but i am having a hard time finding sun visor brackets for mine. seems like everyone selling them say they fit both blazers and trucks but they are different for blazers!

Welcome to the board.

Not sure where you've been finding your info but as you now know, they've been telling you wrong.

A lot of parts transfer from trucks to blazer but there's also a lot that won't.

Stick around, lots to learn on this site.

Manuel Raptor · 08-31-2009, 03:09 PM

I am looking for some of these brackets if someone has some for sale please let me know. Thanks

BLAZEtoBLAZE · 08-31-2009, 03:13 PM

Yes they are different in a big way. LMC and every where else i have been looking on the internet says they fit both trucks and blazers. I finally found a driver side bracket for a blazer a while back still looking for a pass. side one though

bouncytruck · 08-31-2009, 03:43 PM

BLAZEtoBLAZE, if you become a subscribing member, you can post a "wanted to buy" thread and I'm someone on the board has the part(s) you need.

Now, back to the topic - carpet strips and tailgate seal retainers would be good. I've also seen a lot of demand for complete bedsides.

Thanks- can you e-mail me any pictures of what parts I'm looking for?
