Two Wheel Blazer Build
5 Attachment(s)
My brother Jim & I are joining the Blazer Project/Builders - We bought this two wheel drive blazer/parts over the weekend and plan to add rust free firewall/windshield frame, new blazer bedsides & new full front floor to create a new rust free body like "lks dcvn" did (New Woodall Industries full blazer rear floor not pictured but came with purchase). Nice to have the board resources. Between the two of us we hope to afford the build !

Re: Two Wheel Blazer Build
Hey Mike,... I wondered if you needed these repair panels.

Re: Two Wheel Blazer Build
Looks like a solid start. :chevy:

No Blazer floor yet - you will need to modify the truck floor at the rear where it meets the bed floor step up panel.
It will involve cutting off the rear of the panel (where the gas tank would be) and then bending up the rear floor to meet the rear floor. If you have the stock floor you can see how it should look when you get done. Watch the progression as the 'cab' floor meets the step up and the bed floor in the pix below. The last picture is how it should look when you get done. |

Re: Two Wheel Blazer Build
There is 1 set of torsion box end caps (one per side) and then 3 other pieces of metal come together in the B-pillar.
The torsion box end caps tie into the pieces that Keith notes above. I did this work on a previous project back in 2010 when many of the aftermarket sheet metal parts below were not available. The B-pillar stuff is easy to see starting in this post and then a bit more detail when I got the other side here. Parts List for a new blazer solid windshield frame 69-72 Firewall (if needed) Cowl Panel (if needed) outer rockers (2) cab floor (1) - will need tweaked for blazer use or 2wd version blazer bed floor (1) Step Up panel between floor and bed floor (1) Rear Wheel Housings (2) Bedsides (2) tailgate (1) doors (2) Torsion Boxes (2) torsion box end caps (2) B-pillar support parts (2) B-pillar reinforcement parts (2) Blazer Body Mount and Bolt kit (1) Nuts/Bolts - Grade 8 - Fastenal or Tractor Supply Most of the links above are from one spot (Classic Heartbeat) - I have purchased from several vendors (GMS Pauls, Tabco, and several different resources AMD, Goodmark, Apex, etc.) so shop around for price, shipping and customer service that fits your needs. Since much of this stuff is oversize - you may want to consider a shop closer to home to save a bit. Several of the board vendors use the sheet metal they supply so they know about updates to molds, which parts will fit and which ones to avoid. Disclaimer - many, if not all, aftermarket sheet metal parts will need to be tweaked to fit perfect. Nothing I used fit perfectly the first time. Let me know what questions you have along the way Mike. Happy to help in any way that I can. |

Re: Two Wheel Blazer Build
OMG - Tom Vogel steered me to a website called "roadster shop" ! Makes you think real hard about spending twice as much on suspension to get all new. Whoa - really nice stuff.
