Default Change the body

Is it possible to replace the old body of an 80s blazer with a 90s body? I mean do they fit on the chasis without problems?

I think it might depend on WHICH 90s body you mean... if you mean the '95+ body, then you've got some work cut out for you... as far as I know, it should be the same all the way up to 1994 (there was still some old body style blazers through 95/96, though)

Sound like Good news drperry

I can live with the early 90s body.
All I needed to know if it was possible or not. You make it sound easy and I guess that's what i wanted to hear.

Anyone made such a change before...

Oh, it's probably not going to be easy per say... That just means everything should fit, lol.

But I forgot to ask... Is this for an S-series Blazer or a fullsize blazer?

Full size - 1981.
I am buying it in the coming week and will post a pic. You see I am in my early stages of Blazer education!!
Changing the body is a long term plan and I will definetely enjoy its current look.
Waiting for your advice.
