Bedsides...Blazer vs LWB - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well I learned something today. I have a nice driver’s side bed panel on our long bed parts truck. I had considered using that for patch panels on my blazer, particularly the area between the back wheel and the door. I realized today that the wheel arch corner of the bedsides in front of the wheels is different. The blazer is a fairly hard corner whereas the long bed is a soft round edge.

So when people use a SWB bedside to repair a blazer, is the swb panel identical to the blazer in that area or is it slightly different in some way???

Well crap, the pictures don't really show it that well, but you can see the round edge on the lwb.

The swb bedside and the blazer are the same in the area that you are talking about. I ran into this when replacing my bedside and patches on oppisite side. The front area on blazer comes to more of a point where as the lwb is swept forward.
