82 Blazer to pickup conversion

[eagleattucson]

Hi. I have a 2wd 82 full size Blazer that I am interested in converting to a pickup. Is there somewhere I can purchase a back glass/panel to seal off the cab or do I have to have it custom made? Thank you! Brian [email protected]

I think it would be easier to swap a cab on there. Fab some mounts and bob a bed. It would look cleaner IMO

You know the Blazer you have is the last year they offered them that way right ? No 2wd's after 82

There has been a guy selling them on ebay, I don't see any listed right now.
They look pretty clean.

Half Cab Conversion

The Glasstite Truck Cap company used to sell half cab coversions for K5's years ago--not sure if they are still in business--I looked into one about 10 years ago when I had my 72 K5--it was about 500 bucks for the newer style trucks(76-87) and more for the older full roof versions(69-75)-.I've seen some guys carve the back wall out of a pickup cab and graft it onto the K5 blazer where the blazer roof bolted on--and some rather redneck ones made of plywood that did the job,and didnt look too ugly--..

Some place on the net and maybe somebody has a link to it but there is a conversion write up/tech article on doing it yourself with sheet steel and a window. It has part numbers and everything if memory serves. It was done for the forestry people in an effort to use military blazers for brush fires. The end goal was to keep a blazer weather tight yet not reducle the load carrying capacity as the blazers are already not capable of handling large payloads. It may have been the DRMO that did the tech write up or a private company. Can't remember.

OH hell, I looked it up for you.
