Blazer or Suburban hatch arms - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**jlmerie** · 01-16-2015, 09:26 PM

I was digging through some stuff in the barn and ran across these hatch arms. The only problem is I can't remember if I took them off a suburban or blazer. Is there an easy way to tell which they fit? I assume they are not the same. The first 2 pictures are of the arms in the down position. The second 2 pictures are of the arms as they have "locked" into place while the hatch is open. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi James, they sure look and measure about the same as my '70 GMC Jimmy, but there may be some differences I can't see.

Nice lookin' pickup! We have a lot of relatives in CO.

If you look at the post above the top bracket on the blazer hatch has a 90 degree bend that wraps around the hatch. If you look at the pictures in the second link you will see they are flat on a suburban. I did not know they were that close I was comparing them to the ones I saw before that are apparently for barn doors if you look in the first link.
