72 jimmy 8.1l project

i have a 72 jimmy that im planing on stuffing a 8.1 in.

I have a few questions can you put a blazer grill on a jimmy with out a bunch of work or do i have to change everything to make it work. My other question is where is the best place to get patch panels, Lmc has the panels for the trucks but not the blazer and jimmys or are the bedsides and bed floor panels the same.

Thanks,
Brad

I think the front of the fenders are different in regards to the grill swap.
No one reproduces blazer bedsides or floors but a lot of guys are using short bed pickup sides and cutting like 6" off the front of them to fit the blazer. Same with floor. A lot of the patch panels are interchangeable though.

I have found that old muscle cars.com has a lot of parts for the blazers, I got the outer skins for the bedsides from them for 79.00 each but it was cut in half so you have to buy the front half and the back half to make one side. the light pockets in the back are just a piece of sheet metal so you have to cut out. no holes in bed rails for bolts for top.
