Re: Blazer Quarter Fix - Using SWB Bedsides
Has anyone seen the curved piece that gets sandwiched between the panels above the tire offered as a patch panel? Or will this have to be made or taken from a donor? It looks to extend the wheel arch into the outer bed side. Or is it part of the inner bedside? That's what it looks like in the pics of your donor swb side on the sawhorses. Is it attached at the bottom of the whole outer wheel well? Did you remove the rear bed stake from your donor as to use yours for alignment? It looks that way, just wonder how you tied the rear in around that area. Sorry for the thousand questions in a row.

Re: Blazer Quarter Fix - Using SWB Bedsides
This will probably help you a lot.....
Here's what a Tri-Pro replacement bedside looks like: ![]() Details on the inner bedside (taillight end): ![]() Inner bedside...(B-pillar end): ![]() And if you have the guts to immediately cut apart a brand new $500 part.... ![]() In that last photo, you can see that the intermediate panel you are looking for IS part of the complete bedside assembly. I only wanted the outer skins for my repairs, and I was disappointed at just how much of what I'd paid for ended up geting "wasted"..... I didn't throw them away or anything, but in reality, I only ended up using about $200 worth of the panel (on a percentage basis). Hope that helps! -G ![]()

Re: Blazer Quarter Fix - Using SWB Bedsides
I wish it was possible to just get the full outer skin, heck maybe it is possible and I just don't know about it. Seems like it would be real easy to pull them off the line before it and the inner panel got welded together. It would save someone doing this type of repair a lot of cash.

Re: Blazer Quarter Fix - Using SWB Bedsides
As long as we're bringing old threads back to the top, I think this is a great one.

This is how it gets finished up. * Test fitting the front of the quaurters, this is all that get's removed, the rest of the panel is the same as a blazer. Last edited by vtblazer; 10-10-2010 at 07:23 AM. |

Re: Blazer Quarter Fix - Using SWB Bedsides
Starting the drivers side, complicated by the existing flush mount gas door.
W/first test fit up. |

Re: Blazer Quarter Fix - Using SWB Bedsides
B pillar work, drivers side.
Self taps work great, when removed, simply fill in the hole. |

Re: Blazer Quarter Fix - Using SWB Bedsides
Out in the light of day and how it turned out in the end.
May not be everyones idea of the 'best way to do it' but with what I had to work with, it was for me hands down. I'd do it again this way too, leaving the 'b' & 'c' pillars intact worked really well. |

Re: Blazer Quarter Fix - Using SWB Bedsides
Did you weld all the way across the top of the bed rail? Looks butted up, not holes and spot welded like down the pillar.
If you noted it sorry, the A.D.D. kicked in and I could not read every word, but I didn't see anything about it or a pic of it welded up there.

Re: Blazer Quarter Fix - Using SWB Bedsides
Yes, the entire seam got welded but in sections to avoid over heating.

Re: Blazer Quarter Fix - Using SWB Bedsides
Was the front seam just filled or did that get welded as well? Thanks and great work.
