I'm pretty sure you're asking what you need to swap your GMC Jimmy front end for a Chevrolet Blazer front end, right? If so, you don't need fenders or hood, however, you might need the radiator core support. If your truck is a 95-97 and you want to swap for a 95-97 Blazer front end, then you don't need it. Same goes if your Jimmy is a 98+ and you wish to trade for a 98+ Blazer front end. If your Jimmy is a 95-97 though and you want a 98 plus Blazer front end, you will need the 98+ core support to do it. Hope that helps.

That helps alot, i have a 2000 Jimmy and i want to switch to a 98+ Blazer front end so all i should need is the headlights, grill, and bumper cover? i just want to be compleatly shure. thanks again

And turn signals, but yeah. If you end up doing that, you should pm me about buying your front end

why dont NEWBS ever try searching? Thats a very very common question

ExtCab96S_Dime · 10-17-2007, 09:24 PM

Why don't you recommend it instead of being kind of a jerk about it? Maybe the "NEWBS" as you call them don't know about the search button?

usmc_noma · 10-26-2007, 12:58 AM

Ordie · 11-19-2007, 06:56 PM

I so wish, my Jimmy wasnt 4wd.. I mean I could lower the 4wd, but I would rather have just a 2wd one.

ExtCab96S_Dime · 11-22-2007, 02:23 PM

What do you think an Envoy front bumper would look like on a Blazer?

Ordie · 11-22-2007, 04:49 PM

It wouldnt look right with out the headlight swap. There will be a huge gap between the Headlights and bumper..
