Blazer with 68 trim

I've seen Blazers with 67/68 front clips on them and love that look. Has anybody ever see 68 trim on the Blazer also. Any pics would be great. Thanks!

Re: Blazer with 68 trim

The bottom trim on the 67/68 is narrower then the 69/72 bottm trim.

Re: Blazer with 68 trim

The hardest part will be the piece in front of the rear wheel, it will need to be a shortened pickup piece since the Blazers didn't come out until '69, after the trim change. The piece behind the wheel is the same as a swb truck.

I think it would look really good.
