I sure wish I had had access to that 4 years ago. I just might buy a set just in case they stop making it. Good lookin out

I noticed that they now offer REAL 1st Gen Blazer bedsides now too.....

No more cutting down SWB truck bedsides to fit (like I've had to do).

$1300/pr. Not bad considering its the entire outer skin, inside skin and interior wheel arch parts.

Dang... just getting word of this about 2 months too late. I hacked the windshield frame/cowl/dash off a 71' donor this spring to supply my 69' with parts... One less 1st gen out there now. Hopefully this newly available part will save a bunch of K5s from the chopping block.

awesome! Glad they are making the part now. I may need it before too long too.

Good stuff for sure!

Thanks for the update, just bought one. The windshield was holding up the body work on my rust bucket. I am hoping not have to say made in china because it has so many repro parts on it. I did save the tailgate.

Would love to see pics and your thoughts on the parts once you get them. Fitment, quality, etc.

don't ban me! Pictures forth coming. I been bad about taking photos on the rebuild. Once the body shop gets them installed I will take more pics. From what my body guys says it made is life a lot easier.

Not sure if you guys caught this install of the pieces, but it has some pretty good pointers about where there were fitment issues. Overall sentiment from the install was that it was worth it, but took some work.

Well that is about par with all the sheet metal pieces. They never were drop in and weld

Pretty cool!

"Custom is custom" and "reproduction sheetmetal" is a paradox....

It's better than starting from scratch (usually) but it's never as good as the originals were...
