RHD Blazer Parts.

kiwiblazer · 04-01-2009, 06:20 AM

OK Ok Ok. Brian, I did PM you.

I get a lot of guys both here, blazerforum.com & gmtruckforum.net asking about my trucks flairs & tail lights.
So I spoke to the Chevy guys & this is the story.

READ SLOWLY & CAREFULLY - Make sure your mouth is empty!

FLARES:
As yet they have not yet needed to find new flares for our trucks. They believe they're no longer available.
At this point anyone wanting them will get them off a wreck or one of the "spare parts" trucks they import. If colour is an issue - tough! You get what's available - or you wait. Because the flares are usually the first to get damaged, they move pretty quick & OF COURSE they're priced accordingly. Their price is NZ$250 per wheel! (1k full set) plus shipping.

TAIL LIGHTS - The 4 bulb with orange turn signal.
Again same story as above. Price is NZ$120 each ($240 a pair) Plus shipping.

Currently 1 kiwi dollar is worth .5497 US.

Anyone interested after recovering from their heart attack - I'm happy to work as a go between.

LASTLY - I've been asked to get a price on a "Front Clip". Section of the body from just in front of the front seats to the firewall includig dash, all wiring, brake booster & whatever is attached to the firewall. Oh yea, also the steering box. Not sure about the steering wheel. Anyway, everything you need to convert to RHD is included. Of course there are no body panels as they're all the same RHD & LHD.
This'll cost a mere NZ$2,000 plus shipping.

NJ4X4BLAZE · 04-01-2009, 08:01 AM

So 140.00 US for fender flares. Hmmm ok send me yours.

travy · 04-01-2009, 08:25 AM

I was cursing up and down when I was flying out of Christchurch, I knew I should of picked up some parts well I was there.

K Dawg ONE · 04-01-2009, 01:18 PM

To help people compute better:
Dash conversion - $1,125.94USD plus s/h
Tails (pair) - $135USD plus s/h
Full flare set - $562.40USD plus s/h

K Dawg ONE · 04-01-2009, 01:21 PM

And for us Cannucks, lol:
Dash conversion - $1 423.08CDN plus s/h
Tails (pair) - $170.62CDN plus s/h
Full flare set - $710.80CDN plus s/h

All conversions were performed using www.xe.com/ucc

NJ4X4BLAZE · 04-01-2009, 01:49 PM

Shipping would probably be exspensive as hell to ship those flares.

GeorgesBlazah · 04-01-2009, 01:55 PM

Hmmmmm I really want these flares.

That's just for one corner. LOL Just think. 9-10 sets & I could buy another Blazer here.

As an example, & I know this is the other way round but, when I bought my projectors on e-bay they cost US$84 & US$200 for shipping! Then I got stung some for GST & import duty!. (This all kicks in above 400kiwi $).

And travy - you'd have been lucky to find any in Christchurch. This stuff is all in Auckland. I've had guys from down there ask where to find stuff for the 'ol Blaze.

SO, now you all understand my predicament. Man, if I could only fly to the US & come back with gifts! But then my excess luggage bill ....... LOL

***orangesonoma*** · 04-01-2009, 06:11 PM

my wife still has family over in england...i only wish they knew what a chevy blazer is

~~4x4zr2GA~~ · 04-01-2009, 06:39 PM

but i wonder if the trucks overseas used zr2 style fenders that have a mounting lip, and holes drilled all around the fender crease, and cut out wider? if so, you will have to buy zr2 fenders also, and make the rear work by welding cutting the wheel arch to the right size, then welding a lip, then drilling some holes all in the right spots.

kiwiblazer · 04-01-2009, 09:47 PM

How does the ZR2 fender differ from the normal Blazer. Aren't the body panels all the same? except for the body kit.

K Dawg ONE · 04-01-2009, 11:14 PM

ZR2 has a different lip on the fender that the flare attaches to.

kiwiblazer · 04-02-2009, 04:08 PM

ALL GOES QUIET! -------very quiet!

Prices must have scared the s*** out of everyone.

If only New Zealand wasn't at the bottom of the planet!

Oh, & K Dawg ONE - Maybe I should get a picture of a fender without the flare on - in case it's a ZR2 fender? I'd hate to see guys buy these only to find they don't fit.

I'll visit the Chevy guys later today.

blazerman · 04-02-2009, 04:16 PM

i so want a front clip. i really just want the center console. but if i did it i would go all out

kiwiblazer · 04-02-2009, 07:32 PM

Right! Just been to the Blazer guys.

Seems the fender flares just fit over the stock US flares. No lip. So, it is effectively a flare over a flare. Who knows why GM would have done that.

Here are a few pics that I was able to get from a truck with missing/damaged flares.

kiwiblazer · 04-02-2009, 07:43 PM

Sorry about the double posting but, it's just occured to me - given that with the "overseas" flares & stock wheels the Blazers here actually look stupid.

I attach a few pics of the rear end with stock vs my wheels so you can see what I mean. Truck looks as if it would roll over easily.

MARS2878 · 04-02-2009, 10:22 PM

they are different. i got a pic of a Z fender, ill show you the lip

whats going on here?

Woody22 · 04-05-2009, 06:52 PM

if i can get a pair for 135 id prolly take a set. would i go through you?

kiwiblazer · 04-06-2009, 02:43 AM

Hey Brad,

If you're interested, you can contact the guys directly. I'm not getting a cut out of it. Just tell them that I (Ken) referred you & they will sort you out.
http://www.bunce.co.nz/contact.php

Just remember,
1. as I've said before, these are used units but will definately be in good condition.

2. They may charge extra if you want the wiring harness (4 bulb) but I don't think it will be of use to you as the connection to your main harness will be different to what's in your truck. The 4th light is for the rear fogs (that's the bottom lamp) but you may have a different use for it.

3. Also, do not forget the shipping & handling charges. They've not shipped anything to the US before so this is new for them.

I attached wiring diagram for the fogs but to resize to forum limits they've not come out. Sorry, I need to find how to do it that it's legible.
