Default Brush Guard

Does anyone have any plans on how to build a brush guard for a 1994 s15 or s10 I have the tools and metal just wanted to see if someone had the measurements?
Thanks

do what i did. went to the junkyard, found a 88 s10 with one on it, went home, removed some of the trim on my bumper, bolted it on, sat and stared at it for a minute, than was happy.

Measurements arent needed... Just look at other blazers and shoot for roughly by measuring your truck and what you want to cover... if you do this, you will be happier in the end because it will be the brushguard you want... also... there is a thread where I got a 5% discount off of brushguards for the forum... idk if they have first gens though.... a simple bracket mod could be a cheap route as well

how well did it fit? jw because mine looks alright, but if you look at it closely you can tell it not supposed to be for my truck because it has some small gaps, etc..

and if anyone has an s10 that wants a roll bar, the truck that i pulled my brush guard from also has a roll bar on it.

i have some tweaking to do its a little crooked but i ran out of daylight

i know its not the one for my tr are on the bottom and the brush guard has the holes for the lights but once it is straight it will look good

huh?!? it's the same bloody truck, how the hell did you have "to make it work"?

unless it was bent or something, 'cause there is no difference between the p/u's & the Blazer/Jimmy/Bravada's.
