hitch interchangeabilty

jman340 · 07-27-2007, 07:39 PM

I've got a 2001 Blazer 4 door, and I've found a couple of trailer hitches in local junk yards on 96 and 97 Blazers. Will they bolt onto mine?

I don't see why not. I'm pretty sure the frames are the same in the back for all S10's and Blazers 4wd or 2wd, so they should fit just fine.

id say the hitch will fit fine but all frames are not the same.

s10s are all by them selves

2dr 2wd blazers/jimmy will be the same

2dr 4wd will be the same

i think you see where it going...

Really? I thought all the frames were the same only in the back.

From the doors back the frames are the same, as long as they have the same number of doors.

^^true, but s10's are not the same as blazers at all really.

i am not sure if they will be the same or not. the design of the rear bumpers are differnet and i know that with mine i had to remove the factory bumper brackets and use the hitch as the new bumper bracket. I am not sure how the 94-97 attaches but you may want to call your local gm dealer and ask if they use the same part number just to be safe.

I should have been more specific. I meant just the blazers. The rear half a 2wd blazer is the same as a 4wd blazer.
