Aftermarket blazer 1/4 panels

[hemi43]

The 1/4's on my blazer are not in bad shape, but need the front and rear lower sections replaced, as well as the arch. I'm tossing the idea around of replacing the whole 1/4 with ones from Goodmark part numbers #GMK4143607681L and #GMK4143607681R
My question is how well do these fit? I'm reading that this also fits short box pickups, but I thought that they were different than the Blazers???
Thanks for any help.

Short bed sides will not fit without alteration but they now have complete Blazer-specific bed sides available.
There's a thread here or ck5 where someone had used them.....seemed to be happy with them..
I will be doing the same thing when I get that far...so let's hope they are adequate......?

We used them and they worked well. They do not have captured nuts under the bed rail for a single wall top, nor do they have the nutserts in the C pillar for the rearmost top bracket. We also noticed a variation in the inner side wall geometry at the fuel filler neck relative to my original 1970. All manageable mods. Otherwise they are complete pieces and will work well with a reasonable amount of fiddling. You can click on my build thread below and check them out for yourself. GMCPaul, among others, have them. I got mine from South Kentucky Classics.

Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted to hear. I was looking at the Keyparts website, and they sell both, short box fleetside as well as Blazer 1/4 panels. They listed the blazer at 82" long and the shortbox at 85" long which confused me.
I will only be using a soft top, so the lack of nutserts is not an issue. I just didn't want to get into making the panel shorter.
