75 Blazer Body Change.

[v8banshee]

Hey all, I am currently restoring a 75 Blazer convertible. The original body is completely rusty as I've found almost all of them have.
I have found a 1991 near perfect body for quite cheap and was wondering if it would fit and if I could still use the 75 hood, fenders and radiator panel/front. any help appreciated.

Cheers

floor pan is diffrent to match frame hump also just behind the seats.

and yes front clip swap is totaly doable basic bolton with some small mods.

and guys here graft the full convertable winshield frame to the newer body to keep the full top of the 75-older also. http://coloradok5.com/full-convertible-conversion.shtml

To reiterate the above, you can't easily put a '90 body on a '75 frame without major body modifications due to the fact that a '90 has foot wells for the rear passenger.

It can be done with the use of some different height body lifts and some good measurements.
Lots easier than my waggy going on a shortened chevy crew cab frame.

I did this for a buddy and I just moved/fabbed up new body mounts for the specific spots.
