Making a Blazer cab/dash

[YoungPup1977]

I have taken a 72 c10 cab that was all rusted out in the floor and made it for a 72 blazer Its not that hard to do. Took the roof off and the floor on c10 and also added a AC dash to boot. welded in the top windshield frame. Seems that the only thing on the blazer that the aftermarket has not reproduced yet.....both front and cargo floors are now available, stepdown plate, rear bedsides, wheel houses, doors, even the tow hooks ....all available.

Yes it is possible. That’s what I did to make mine. I’m not sure I understand what sure Heydanl is referring to about extra bracing, I’ve never seen that on any of the blazer windshield frames I’ve taken apart.

A word of caution on the repro upper inner ws piece, do not rely on the visor mount or any of the weatherstripping mounts or visor hook holes. They were significantly off on the one I got, the visor would have been hanging sideways had I used the holes it came with and the visors didn’t even reach the hook mounts.

I'm screwing this up, the above text was supposed to be in a quote box. Anyway, this is the brace I was referring to. It actually incorporates one of the bolting points for the front fender. Mine is a 72, if you've never seen it before, maybe it's a factory upgrade for the last year? I know it was factory, it had the typical spot weld dimples on the pillar exterior, but you've got to really look to see them.
