Jimmy to blazer front end conversion
i am thinking about doing a gmc to chevy front end swap on my 98 jimmy, is there anything i have to look out for, or is it pretty much bolt on
and are all the light bulbs the same (so i can use the same connectors i have now) |

Re: Jimmy to blazer front end conversion
NICE!
 I've always wondered how many tools i'd need and how much time i'd need to set aside for this job. Any pointers as where to start/finish? |

Re: Jimmy to blazer front end conversion
Has anyone done a 95-97 GMC to Blazer conversion? I'm thinking about it since buying a billet or chrome grill is easier for a Chevy.

Re: Jimmy to blazer front end conversion
I did the 96 jimmy conversion to a 98+ blazer. took me 12 hours cuz I had to swap core support out and everything but it was fairly easy. good write up on the help pages. if anyone has any questions I learned alot from the experience though...
and if any of you 98+ guys wanna get rid of their bumper w/o moulding holes in it I might just snatch it up from you... |
