Request: Pictures of Blazer/Jimmy doors for comparison on where to cut - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Captkaos** · 01-23-2007, 07:30 PM

Anyone care to post some close-up pics of Jimmy/Blazer doors so I can see where pickup doors will need to be cut? I would like to see from the window opening up, the whole vent wing, and the rear of the door, and a detail of both areas preferable from the side.

If no one posts up I can do it for you tomorrow night, I have original doors and aftermarket repops. J

I believe the assembly manual has drawings w/measurements.

LUV2XCLR8 · 01-23-2007, 09:53 PM

bouncytruck · 01-23-2007, 10:23 PM

Yup. Order a factory assembly manual and get the dimensions direct from GM.

**Captkaos** · 01-23-2007, 11:03 PM

well, this is for putting the new one piece glass in a door, and I just need to verify where to cut it. I can get if off a buddies Blazer Sunday, just figured someone may have it...

JimKshortstep4x4 · 01-24-2007, 11:13 AM

Here is a picture of the instructions from the Assembly Manual. I could not find anything on the rear cut but it is pretty straight forward. The rear cut is parallel to the door and is cut 1/8" above the door, (probably for saw blade clearance).

Is there anyway I could get you to take those individual views and email them to me at webmaster@73-87chevytrucks.com ?
MUCH appreciated!

65-72 chevytoys · 01-24-2007, 01:16 PM

If you can wait until tomorrow, I have it at home bring it to work with tomorrow scan it to PDF and email.

**Captkaos** · 01-24-2007, 01:25 PM

I can wait. Just trying to get a door cut down to test the new 67-72 kits in for the "Blazer" kit.

bouncytruck · 01-24-2007, 01:53 PM

Am I understanding that you are developing a one piece door glass kit for the Blazer? That would be cool if you can get it to work...

That would be correct, I am gathering the info for OPP (company that is selling the 67-72 kit) He thinks it should be availble pending any major issues in March at the earliest.

wedgemon · 01-24-2007, 07:51 PM

I'd appreciate copies of the PDF scans as well.

Pop's72 · 01-24-2007, 07:52 PM

Since we are asking questions...

Would that be a one piece window kit with no triangle of any kind?

65-72 chevytoys · 01-25-2007, 06:03 PM

Here is a pdf of the truck door cut locations for blazers

**Captkaos** · 01-25-2007, 06:12 PM

SWEET!!! Thanks. Now to cut one down...

Jvan · 01-27-2007, 02:55 PM

Would be interested in the one piece window when it happens. Would you post info when available?

**Captkaos** · 01-27-2007, 09:59 PM

I will defintiely post the info when the Blazer option is availible.

**Captkaos** · 02-07-2007, 05:12 PM

Ok, here is the info. I just talked to him today (thanks to 65-72 chevytoys for the PDF). The Blazer/Jimmy kit will be availible at the initial release at the end of this month. It will be an aditional option on top of the standard kit, should be about $60, stayed tuned for final pricing.

BTW, is the cap piece on top of the door availible? (plastic thing that is always broken?)

70gmcjimmy · 02-07-2007, 08:01 PM

Hey Chris,
I just ordered a set of those door caps from Mikes Bump and Grind Garage last weekend so I havent gotten them yet. Definitely the best price on them that I have seen at $35 for the pair.

Later---DAC
