I did know a guy that had one that was making something out of it and was not going to use the body. Don't know if he still has it but I can check. Not even totally sure of the shape its in.
When I did my suspention lift every bolt but one had to be cut. I have an impact wrench too

WOW, That is a nice score!
You must have a fortune in just body parts.:roll eyes:
But it is much better to have GM body parts. That is what I used when mine was fixed and painted.
My friend has a Brand new GM hood in the box, in his storage building. what do you think it is worth?

remove 1/4 panel
i probally should have waited to buy a spot weld cutter online bc i couldnt find one locally. a drill bit and a screwdriver are not the right way to remove spot welds <stuip beer made it seem like a good idea>

that's about how fellow member Wrainkings was when i fixed his... his was a fair bit worse in the b area... b-post is always custom... i would just get the tailpan and 2 back 1/2's of the floor new... cut off as much of the floor as ya need...

Man I don't get it why the people over there do this?
Here they are crushing perfectly good tubs because no one buys them, pay a few hundred bucks for one here and ship it, you will be out less $$$ and be done in a week or so.
I just can't stand watching people do this.
If it was the last blazer on earth I would understand, but common, it's more than 50% gone.

you have any leads? id appreciate the help

Well right now I don't, but last week I saw some get crushed, and a couple of months ago, I cut up a good tub, I di however sell the pieces to people in the east coast that had small areas to be repaired, but when it's that bad, I feel sorry for you guys.
If you are not in too much of a hurry, I can sure be on the look out for you.

i have nothing but time and im already invested in this project. if you could come across good sheet metal that i could weld to id greatly appreciate it!! im not sure whats more cost effective buying a complete rig or paying someone to put the tub on a pallet and ship it either way its obvious that i need help. all i really need is the floor from the fuse block back to the rear wheel wells. everything else i already have
