Hey guys. I am a newbie to the site. I don't have a blazer, but know where one is setting that needs a front cap that I might be able to buy. I am building a 67 and 68 truck and have a spare 67 front cap that is nearly perfect. Will this bolt right on if I use the 67 radiator support? I've seen a few 69-72 trucks with a 67/8 front and just assume that will work, but never seen a blazer with the older front. I am partial to the 67/8 front end, would that offend die-hard blazer fans?

It is purely a bolt-in affair (as long as you do use that Rad support). I think it would look sweet, don't worry about "offending" anyone. If anything it would be a little different than the norm.

Doesn't offend me!! :D

Killer!

Should look pretty good! :)

4x4 with 67 front end

This is one of the most common changes to 2wd Blazers. I've seen more 2wd's with 67-68 front ends than I have oem... The 67-68 grill and sloped hood is a piece of art...

Doesn't offend me!! :D

What's your drop on that thing? Regular or Air?

raggedjim is that white and red Blazer yours? do you have any more pictures?

The white and red one that Roger posted is actually a Jimmy I'm pretty sure. I have seen it on ebay (if it's the same one). Dont know if it sold though. A very nice truck. Looks good with the Chevy front sheetmetal.

Craig, I have 2.5" spindles with cut coils up front, and 3" blocks with heated coils in back. All of that is from the previous owner.
I now have air bags, which will be installed in the next month or two.

I'm assuming the spindles will stay? but what about the blocks?

It is a common modification on 2wd Blazers, but I've only seen a few 4wd's with the swap. Personally, I like the look on the 2wds, but it isn't my favorite mod on a 4wd.

More ;)

Craig, the blocks will go.

Thanks guys. I knew I would get some good pictures if there were many out there. These pics make me want to build a 2wd as well some day. That 67/8 front sure looks good low.

hotrodhomi, slimjim is right, it's a pic I found somewhere, none of the trucks I have are that nice (yet!)

This is the reason I borrowed $200 from a good friend, and a Towbar
from a good board member a few months back to go get a 2wd, I've
always wanted a 2wd, even though my 4wd is pretty nice, but I did
not think the 4wd would look as good w/ the 68 clip, pic's in sig link.

aaahhh I love motivation.

That blue one is from H.A.N AND I THINK ALEX TOOK THAT PIC....
