'80 front clip to '87 front clip?
How hard is it to change a '80 front clip (hood and fenders) to a '87 front clip. It looks like the only problem I can see is the hood hinge placement. Any one done this and can give advice?
Thanks, Dennis |

The core support is different. You need a different Hood/Fenders and bumper.

I am using the whole front clip (fenders,hood,core,bumper) from a '87 or a '90 Blazer but the hood hinges look like I have to cut on the fire wall a bit.

That is correct. If you have the entire front clip, the hard part is done. You will need to cut the top of the firewall to mount the new style hinges. You will also need to change the wiper shafts out to the new style...

How are the signal light assemblies looking? How much do you want shipped?
What about the driver's side headlight bezel? This is the rectangular style front end with the unique signal light things
