Blazer Bedsides!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Huck · 07-11-2004, 04:11 PM

The board meet / Super Chevy Show at Indi was wet, hot and not terribly busy business wise when it came to selling. But, I did manage to find something kind of interesting---Blazer wise.
How about a pair of Blazer bedside outer skins, door jam to rear tailight. One is a NOS never installed while the other appears to have been separated from it's inner at some point. I may not have ever been installed either!! Both sides have some very minor dings from handling and some typical very light surface rust (rubs off with your hand!) from sitting a while. I asked a buddy of mine who used to work in a body shop in the 70's and he said you could order an outer skin rather then a complete bedside! I'll take a few pictures after I pull them from the trailer~~~

HEY HUCK, I HEARD THE SHOW WAS COOL, COULD NOT GO SINCE I'M SAVING
EVERY PENNY TO GET MY BLAZER SHIPPED HOME, IT IS STILL IN CALI,

BLAZER BED SIDES WOULD B GREAT FOR OLD BLAZERS LIKE THE ONE THAT I
AM SELLING, MY OLD ONE HAS A GOOD FLOOR AND WHEEL TUBS, BUT HAS
THE OVER THE WHEEL TYPICAL RUST SOME OF BLAZERS ARE FAMOUS FOR.

Do you have any interest in selling them? I am in need of both sides.

You might want to check and see if Paul or Wes can use them for a while to make templates from for repop parts. I know they don't sell the Blazer sides. Hopefully they will see this. Jeff.

I'm with him!!!! Although I don't own a Blazer (YET!) we need to get any parts repoped that we can, to help save these wounderful era of trucks!

If these were complete bedsides with the inner and outer, then I would consider making them available for repopping like the short bed bedsides. But these are just the outer skins and are very fragile. I have see complete NOS blazer bedsides at swap meets for $500. a piece but haven't had the $$$ at the time to buy them. Not sure the demand would equal the cost to have just the outer skins reproduced as shipping would be a ugly.

So what do you plan to do with them?
