Bent, did you re-drill the hard top holes again or are you staying topless with this one?

Bentblazer · 12-03-2009, 11:29 PM

Didn't mention but the pass side was original so had to drill new side to match, but plan to run topless next summer. That and the fact that I've got some repair on the top and hatch to do.

Seen those before and it was determined on another board that they are the run of the mill pick-up bedsides, not the shorter blazer bedsides.

Check out the "description" in their add:

What he said!

Why not just buy my 69 C-20 bed in NC which is in fairly decent shape and go nuts with a plasma?

cvalcore · 12-06-2009, 09:53 PM

I wonder why nobody will build new 69-72 blazer bed side's they build them for the newer blazer's there is definetly a good market for them? I would buy a set!

Bought my Goodmark bedsides for $435 ea.

cvalcore · 12-07-2009, 02:16 PM

I no you can buy short bed bed side's and cut them down but i would like blazer bed side's! or even blazer full quarter skins. would even be nice

Best way to achieve that is to find a donor tub, probably cheaper too.

cvalcore · 12-08-2009, 12:20 AM

ya i no. But why cant they build new ones what is the reason there has to be reason why they wont produce them there cannot be a very big market for the 73-91 blazer so why do they produce that body style? I wonder what it would take to get them to produce them. There is already a very big need for them.

I hear ya & agree but it's all about the numbers...period.

The 73 & up trucks had production number runs in a single year that exceed the 'total' ever built during the 69-72 years.

It takes huge amounts of money to tool up and produce something like a quarter panel and with the small numbers these blazers/jimmies represent, I doubt it will ever happen.

cvalcore · 12-08-2009, 07:22 PM

ya thats very true.

2003 silverado · 05-09-2010, 08:38 AM

Iam a newbe on this site .i had to respond to this . I have a set of blazer 69-72 nos gm quarters i have owned for 15+yrs still in the boxes so they could still be out there.

chevy2racr · 05-09-2010, 09:25 AM

you know if someone repo'd the b pillar section only that would work in conjunction with a truck side and then have all new metal for the complete side AND to do a section like that would have to be WAY cheaper than them tooling a complete side. kinda a meet in the middle thought???

cvalcore · 05-09-2010, 12:12 PM

i agree

How's about some pics!! Those would be awesome to see.

2003 silverado · 05-09-2010, 01:03 PM

I would love to take some but i would not take out of the boxes. I was lucky to get the parts years ago and move twice with them . I have a trk door/ rad support/ fender/ two quarters (full) what a rare find .

I don't blame you. If I had them, I'd have to take them out and rub them some every so often tho. mmm, tasty.

2003 silverado · 05-09-2010, 01:10 PM

Did all of that But never got the chance to install on K5

2003 silverado · 05-09-2010, 01:21 PM

15/ yr project

cvalcore · 05-09-2010, 07:32 PM

to bad the old tooling and die's could not be found and put back in to production i bet there just siting in a warhouse or a barn some where maybe, but they where most likely scraped.

2003 silverado · 05-09-2010, 07:44 PM

true hey they did it for the camaro
