1985 K5 blazer full convertable conversion questions

[Jacob Chandler]

I flipped my 1985 k5 blazer (damage shown in picture) and I was reading about the full convertible conversion.. I was wondering if I did this would it be possible to get a seal with a bent A pillar if I moved it as far and as perfectly back in to place as I can?

Also what would be the full part list needed to do this conversion? I know the windshield frame, but I am not to sure what else.

Here's a tech article - http://coloradok5.com/full-convertible-conversion.shtml

There are a few threads discussing this conversion, search this forum and the 73-91 forum.

There was a thread on full vert conversions a few weeks ago, try looking back a few pages in the garage forum an you should find it. Or search it maybe.

Well my issue is I have a bent A pillar one which a windshield will not seal in right now. I was wondering if it would still work if i attempted to push it back(not perfectly)

I'm no paint & body guy but maybe you could cut the donor windshield frame close enough to the cowl to all but replace your A pillar.

That's what I was gonna suggest
