Re: blazer bed tub swap
Are you talking about just the floor or the whole back half including the bed sides? Short bed sides are longer than Blazer bed sides.

Re: blazer bed tub swap
i think it would be easier to cut it down versus stretching it to short bed size i just picked up a long bed to cut down for my blazer it was cheap and in great shape too bad you are so far we could trade .

Re: blazer bed tub swap

Re: blazer bed tub swap
Some where over the past few weeks. There is a thread with a few pics of someone cutting down an LB into SB. Very good little post.
