Truck cab to blazer conversion - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone have a link to any good threads where someone converted a truck cab to a blazer tub? I’ve searched and can’t find what I’m looking for. I’m planning to use my solid truck cab and replace the upper windshield frame with a donor frame or use new windshield frame pieces. Then going to cut and bend up the rear of the truck floor pan to mate to the step up panel. Trying to save money and use what I have rather than spending a load of extra $$ If I don’t have to. That stuff is hard to come by these days!

Thanks in advance!

I can't help much except for this - my understanding is that the windshield header in the Blazer has reinforcement the truck doesn't have.

Good luck.
