What do I need to swap my Blazer frontend for a Jimmy frontend - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jtrux · 02-25-2008, 11:57 AM

Yes you read correctly, I love the way Jimmy's look and have made up my mind that I want a Blimmy. I know I need the fenders, grill and rad support plus latch, oh and a hood but were all years created equal?? I can use 68 Chevy fenders if I come across those and a 67 or 68 chevy hood can't I??

Thanks for the help

Later josh

Yes you can use 67/68 fenders. if you want to use a 67/68 hood you will need a top grill bar and hood latch from a 67 or 68 GMC, all 69/72 hoods were physically the same, just had different emblems/letters.

Don't forget the GMC bumper (Or 67-70 Chevy bumper modified) and 4wd 67-70 Chevy or 4wd 67-72 GMC front bumper brackets.Mine's a Jazer..a 72 Jimmy with a 70 Chevy nose job

A GMC tailgate and steering wheel wouldn't hurt either, but I guess the aren't required.

Yeah but when it does, you can't come cuz you won't have a blazer.
