Re: Research help needed

What about just making the windshield cap piece? That seems to be the most important part to the blazer windshield and doesn't seem to be too hard.

Re: Research help needed

Re: Research help needed

Upper cowl is badly needed. Should work for truck and Blazer. I had to clip one truck and have another I would save if it was available

I always wondered why nobody made these. Seams like an easy piece to stamp out and recover tooling expenses since they sell for $50-$75 per set. I looked into it a little bit and most places had a minimum production limit of 500 or 1,000 pieces. At $35 per pair 500 pieces or 250 sets would gross $8,750. I couldn't see it costing anything near that to produce, but what do I know?

Re: Research help needed

How about the rear floor? They make truck steel floors now for both the long and short beds.

That area at the rear of the door jamb and behind the seats, where the seat belts bolt in seems like a common rust area and I'm not aware of a patch for it.

A better, more affordable rear hatch would be great. The only repro one fits poorly for the handle, the quality (I've heard) is not so good.

If the whole upper windshield frame is too much trouble, a patch panel for the inner side, like they have now for truck cabs would be good.

The frame body mounts that are unique to blazers might be good. Mine are severely rusted on my 2wd frame. I need to find replacements or weld repair the ones I have.

How about the gas filler cover piece on the inside of the bed. The bottoms are always rusted off out here.

Carpet hold down strips are hard to find. Even poor quality used ones sell if they can be repainted or chromed.

Are there seat backs available for these? That plastic one for the buckets?

Welcome to the board.

Not sure where you've been finding your info but as you now know, they've been telling you wrong.

A lot of parts transfer from trucks to blazer but there's also a lot that won't.

Stick around, lots to learn on this site.
