Look-all this info is here on this site. But guess what? You have some learning to do! So many of these blazer/Jimmys are totally interchangable-you just have to do the homework from year -to-year! If you are not a wrench or a body skilled fella,then these are the cars for you!If you are only dealing with parts swaps! Fairly strait forward with only minor adjustments...

i looked on here looking for info on just changing it back to another stock front end. found alot for the first gen not so much for the second gen. im fairly compentent in my wrenching skills. guess what im really wonder is are the fender rails tacked onto the firewall or is it bolted. dont tell me to go check the truck please.. its still over 100 miles away just trying to gain some pointers n tips before i tear into it. if i cant anything else ill document The work im going and post it up. good info for someone down the road

I don't know if I would try to remove the clip as a whole-access is a PITA for many fasteners. Hopefully you hit the right side otherwise you will have to deal with ABS modules! As I stated they are MOSTLY interchangable but one does have to be cautious as connectors changed from year-to-year. I did a 96-to-97 swap(hit right front) and it was almost simple! My neighbors thought I was nuts! HMMM... maybe they know something I don't??? Good luck!
