that hood is gonna be messed up. The front end comes out really far by the grill. Hopefully its a bad ass cowl so it will flow better.

LONCOME · 04-16-2009, 06:46 AM

my buddies squarebody blazer that he did when it had my old envoy bumper on it

LONCOME · 04-16-2009, 06:48 AM

then with the sonoma bumper on it i think looks 100 times better !

LONCOME · 04-16-2009, 06:49 AM

and now he has taken that off and is putting it onto a s10

yea that's pretty ugly

notfastenuff · 04-17-2009, 10:08 PM

Well, I don't think I've posted in here. Here's mine at Layd Out at the Park.

blu99dime · 04-20-2009, 05:14 PM

i bet that blazer with the nissan front end would look bitchin with a sectioned full size bumper, or maybe a grant customs smooth.

Much, Much harder. This isn't the same as just bolting in a new core support, bumper, grill and lights. The hood the bumper the grill and the fenders all have to be modified to fit properly and flow right. This is a serious project.

gabby70 · 04-21-2009, 08:31 PM

well im curious as to how hard of a conversion or maybe i should be saying how much would a conversion like this cost? can someone point me in a direction of a parts list or even a shop that has the skill to do this or if you know someone who has done this before let me know. i live in kansas so if you know of a shop thats maybe in a neighboring state that would be cool too, thanks.

TrYiN2LaYaDiMe · 04-22-2009, 01:09 AM

i know a shop in missouri that can do it. some friends of mine to be exact. and its gonna run u a buddy here in tennessee priced it at a local shop and they told him 4 grand thats a finished painted product.

tbird91 · 06-08-2009, 03:41 PM

Does anyone have info on this truck!? Im doing this front end right now and I could use all the info on it please[quote=bagged85;2674500]

i know this is probably an idiotic question but lol do the envoy and trailblazer front ends bolt right on to the 097 body style s10's? i have an 03 trailblazer with a blown motor lol mine as well utalise what i can off of it

not an idiotic question....although i havent personally done the swap, from what ive read on the forum it requires some custom fab work in order to get them to work. it is not a direct bolt-on. I'll let someone else, who has done the swap add more info

TokoDragon · 06-21-2009, 04:05 AM

I haven't done the trailblazer swap but I know it takes sectioning of the grille and bumper to make them more narrow and also takes a good amount of metal work to get the hood and fender to line up, plus reworking the tabs/bolts that hold it on.

+1 to hearing about the 69 camaro conversion!

TokoDragon · 06-21-2009, 04:26 AM

and I love the "S-250" looks awesome.

Just need the grille reworked at the top to match the hood and little gap between the headlights.

towb3 · 06-24-2009, 10:25 PM

There isn't a build thread of it on here. If you keep searching a few pages, I think the answers to where you could find some build pics from another forum. No real "build" pics but a bit of progress pics.

FarEastDime · 06-25-2009, 12:26 AM

damm, i went through a great deal of pages. didnt see anything...

that thing looked goofy with the hood shut. Needs a different bumper. But the rest of the swap was clean.

iRIDElow · 06-25-2009, 12:49 AM

heres my 99 w/ new body sierra front minus the one off grill, i just now saw this thread lol but we did it like a year or year and a half ago

then i went to a grant kustoms smoothie front and didn't like it soo it now has factory front bumper back on it

GET_LOW · 06-25-2009, 01:15 AM

i dunno abotu that one. something seems off. But looks like ya did a nice job.

I think the stock bumper just slants to much and has to much of a gap making the front look a little off.

IRIDELow I think if you did a 88-98 full size bumper on that 2008+ front end it'd look pretty cool, the 99+ bumpers just don't look that good, and they'd be a lot of work because you'd probably have to section it left to right and up and down. You'd probably have to do further work with the 88-98 too to get the bumper to meet the fenders.

junkyard is really the best place

Matt96Dime · 07-08-2009, 01:22 PM

i really wanna know why someone would put a ford front end on an s10?? maybe a ranger would be more fitting??

Matt96Dime · 07-09-2009, 04:08 PM

someone posted a pic of regcab s10 with a fullsize ford front end on it..
