Blazer tailgate on fleetside - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

TWOKEELYA · 08-26-2005, 10:11 AM

Hey Everyone,

I'm pondering the purchase of a blazer tailgate to put on my fleet side. Are there any major issues should I be concerned with. Does anyone know what modifications are necessary?

Thanks in advance

Richard

BLAZER T/Gs ARE THE SAME AS TRUCK T/Gs. BLAZER T/Gs HAVE A PIECE OF TRIM ON THE TOP TRO HOLD THE T/G CLOSED AS LONG AS THE HATCH IS CLOSED. (EASILY REMOVABLE) BLAZER T/Gs ARE A VERY GOOD SOURCE OF UNBOWED, UNDENTED TAIL GATES AS THEY TYPICALLY DIDN'T SEE THE WEAR THAT P/U T/Gs SAW. JOHN

Ditto,same part#.You may be getting the extra piece added to the top edge required on Blazers/Jimmys.It`ll have a few small screw holes.If you get the extra piece,sell it here,keep it intact.
