Question 67-68 blazer?

Did they not offer the blazer in 67-68? Did the blazer start in 1969? What's the scoop. Sorry for the dumb question.

You are correct, 69 was the first year for Blazer/Jimmy's.

Re: 67-68 blazer?

You know, for me, the 4x4's with the 67-68 clips look like crap...I'm with you on that one Durrty. However, the 67-68 clip on a lowered 2wd almost make a positive by combining the 2 negatives. Except that 2wd and lowered can almost count as 2 negatives in my book, hence turning the situation back to negative.

You should tell us how you really feel...
I think they look clean on 2wds, and I've even considered changing my 72. Since I've run out of funds that is no longer an option.

I agree that it looks better on a 2wd.

a negative times a negative is a positive... times another positive would leave it positive

Re: 67-68 blazer?

I'm putting the 67 front clip on my 2wd blazer and like the look.

Everybody likes something different, personally I don't like the Nascar redneck jacked up skoal mud all over my rig look either. Some like different things.

I like it, wanted to combine it with a 2 tone paint. Helps cover up my RUST around the wheelwells. Stuff seems way $$$$, out of my funds for a while....

Should be a matter of just sectioning some truck pieces. May need some re-chroming because the ends are rolled. If you just cut them they won't look "finished."

I have a similar challenge with my "Tahoe" for the pieces in front of the rear wheel-wells. The SWB pieces are too short and the LWB's are too long... But behind the rear wheels I can use SWB pieces

What is the base metal, I was hoping it was SS. Just cut the top and bottom edge and bend under
