That blows! Sounds like what I went through when I was young with a '73 El Camino. A State dump truck pulled out in front of me. It totaled the El Cam, but we weren't hurt. Of course it wasn't their fault, and I wasn't sited. But I had a totaled El Camino. I striped it and sent it to the bone yard. My aunt graciously helped me by another El Camino. Best wishes to get rolling again.

You'll be alright. Once the frame is straightened out and new parts are found, your truck should be fine and ready to go again.

BTW, if you need stock parts go here. www.newgmparts.com

They'll have everything you'll need.

We went to the junk yard the other day and got a hood, a bumper, a pretty new looking radiator (we decided to take a chance), and a few other little things. We just started doing body work on the hood and fenders today.

Kind of weird but I just went to that website to look around and they don't have Blazers from 2000 to 2002

Here is a good look as to how much the frame is bent.

man you got lucky! well, luckier than me. When mine was t-boned, it was on the drivers side, both doors were pushed in like 6" and pushed the b-pillar in, and compressed the floor pan and roof. Man, I wish I would have gotten hit in the fender :/ owell

I cant believe there was that little body damage, but the frame took the most of the beating. When I bought my parts car, the frame wass in perfect condition, but the whole passanger side body was a disaster.
