Naw, gave up on that idea last year.

Seemed like a lot of work just to inherit all the drive train issues those trucks had.

Re: Little Body Work on the Blazer/Tub

Time to subscribe so I can study the bedside repair photos....

Just cut mine off, and now I'm in trouble.

Luckily perfect replacement Blazer bedsides are easy to find......

Re: Little Body Work on the Blazer/Tub

It's back in the home shop, time to do more 'stuff'.

First thing will be to install the brand new set of factory style body mounts I've been saving...and saving...and saving.

I already started by removing the old 'welded in' body mount bolts.

Once the mounts are done, I'll align everything up and weld those lower 'a' pillars...whohoo.
