Re: 72 2wd Blazer....Out of the grave.

I do have one concern in my find that has me a bit nervous and its that i think the bed area has "relaxed" from the cowl due to the rocker boxes beeing rotted out. Are there any measurements from the cowl to the tub/bedside area to go by? Here are some pics of my findings the first shows the 1/2 gap in the door bedside. I think im just going to seperate the bed from the cowl and front floor to aid in the rust removal and i think the spotwelds in the floor pan add the rockers are the only thing holding it together as i said the boxes are gone.

This may help a little, the bottom measurement was incorrect so I erased it. Member BigJ had the correct one but I was unable to find it, you may try to contact him, good luck
