Blazer Quarter Fix - Using SWB Bedsides

Just replaced my blazers quarter panels with SWB bedsides but did it a little different than swapping everything over.

I re-used the original blazer inner bedside and the outer skin from a SWB pickup bedside.

Went this route for a couple reason's.
1) With the cage I couldn't access any of the body bolts
2) Wasn't able to access the wheel well housing bolts either due to a different mod.
3) Decided it was easier to keep the 'b' pillar intact.

Started here with some very rough bedsides:


Cut off the outer and was pleased to find a nice straight inner:


The SWB bedside I used:


Here's the difference between the two:




Kept enough of the original bedrail tops to retain the hard top bolt holes.
