1967-68 grill on a Blazer? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

7d14xfun · 08-13-2003, 04:11 PM

Has anyone ever put a 67-68 chevy nose on a 69-72 Blazer? How would it look, fellow members?

If so, are there any pictures out there?

smokekiki · 08-13-2003, 04:30 PM

It's been done.Most I have seen where 2wd.I like the looks on the 2wd,but I like the bolder 71-72 fronts on lifted 4x4 blazers.JMO.

I am in the proscess of doing it right now!!! Check the pic's from Hot August Night's for a balzer conversion.

Blaz-air had one on his. It was sweet.

72MARIO · 08-13-2003, 10:57 PM

Do It !

*Randy70C-10* · 08-14-2003, 09:55 AM

This belongs to board member "grnddwn", I hope he doesn't mind me posting it.......it's one badass blazer.

chevy_fatman · 08-14-2003, 10:19 AM

Here's another one, it's for sale here http://www.cars-on-line.com/68chev12457.html

*Randy70C-10* · 08-14-2003, 10:24 AM

Sweet, but it needs to be black.

bouncytruck · 08-14-2003, 11:53 AM

here are a few I have saved...

bouncytruck · 08-14-2003, 11:55 AM

I think this is the one from hot august nights.

I wonder what kinda paint technique that is.

*Randy70C-10* · 08-14-2003, 12:21 PM

I believe that's just a glide-coat, looks like he's preparing to block the bodywork.

VTKidder · 08-14-2003, 12:59 PM

I've gotta agree....the smoother 67-68 fronts look sharp on the dropped 2WD's, and the 69-72 hardware fits 4WD's better.

grnddwn · 08-14-2003, 01:55 PM

I don't mind Randy, I would but I can't make it fit, glad you like it. The 67 68 front is the sweetest lookfor these trucks I wish someone would stamp out a repro grill.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-14-2003, 07:27 PM

grnddwn can we see more pic's that thing is mad pimpin!!!

grnddwn · 08-14-2003, 07:43 PM

Yeah if you check my thread from earlier theres a link to some more pics and I will have more this weekend

72 2wd Blazer · 08-14-2003, 07:56 PM

Here's a pic of my '72 Blazer the way I bought it in 2001

So you know my opinion, do the swap.

72 2wd Blazer · 08-14-2003, 07:59 PM

7d14xfun, I forgot to mention, if you want the marker lights on the side, then you'll want a 1968 front clip. If you want no marker lights up front, then you'll want the 1967 front clip.

grnddwn · 08-14-2003, 10:52 PM

I want some of those caps from behind your doors on the boxside does anyone know where i can get some. Thats always been one of my favorite trucks I hadn't seen it lately

72 2wd Blazer · 08-15-2003, 12:31 AM

Actually I don't know where the caps came from. The guy I bought the Blazer from in St. Louis bought it with the caps on it too.

Thanks for the props. It's been sitting in my garage for too long. I need to drive it a little more. It needs the air suspension, it's just got the lowered suspension. I also plan on changing out the tired 350-auto trans and putting in the 700 R4, I have that trans in my '96 fullsize and it works great. I like the O/D.

Was the air suspension very hard to throw together on your Blazer?

grnddwn · 08-15-2003, 01:03 AM

It was actually pretty easy it all depends on how low you want it

Alexis · 08-15-2003, 01:26 AM

contact blaz-air about the caps behind the door.

Blaz-air · 08-15-2003, 01:57 PM

Hey, there that ol blazer is!!!! nice to see some pics of it. I personally think that that is the look with the 67-68 clip. Those rear caps were made from the old top. Since the windshield was chopped those caps made the doors look longer and more correct. The one thing thats never felt right when a blazer has the top is that sudden drop behind the doors. You could make those caps out of an old doors or another junk top. 72 2wd Blazer, I will be in Sacr. in October for the NSRA show. Stop by the House of Kolor booth and say "HEY". I WILL build another blazer as soon as I am done with the 37.

Later
Carter

grnddwn · 08-15-2003, 02:00 PM

That 37 is sweet thats what I was think of building after the blazers done

*Randy70C-10* · 08-15-2003, 03:28 PM

Hi Carter, I thought that Blazer looked familiar.

The old Ford looks great, any plans for a paint job? You definately have the resources to try out a few.
