Default How to put a trailblazer front on a 99 Blazer?

I tried to search and didn't come up with anything and I was curious on another post in this section LORCLAS has what looks like a new trailblazer front end on his blazer and I was wonder if anyone could tell me what is involved in something like that,about what would it cost and the difficulty of the conversion. I tried contacting my buddy who is going to paint my truck but I forgot he left to go out of town for awhile so I couldn't ask him. The main thing I am wanting to know is how hard is it and what all is involved what has to be modified and how did you get it to fit. I think its really cool and it would fit my truck when the Copperhead Metallic paint is put on. Any advice would be great.
Thanks Zach

P.S. Please check out the post titled Does this sound right it is a recent post and give me your opinion of the color if you haven't already done so. Thanks

The two main things is body work, you'll need to either mold a Blazer hood to fit a Trailblazer front or vice versa. You'd also need to modify the radiator support, frame where the bumper mounts, the fenders and probably the front suspension. Its very hard to get right unless you are really good at bodywork or if you hire it out to someone whos done it before.

Just need to cut into your core support a little to get the lights to fit. No frame mods needed. They trimmed my bumper a little to get the lights lower so there is no gap. Stock hood and fenders were extended to fill in the gaps.

I still think I have some underconstruction pics. e-mail me with any questions you have. manchester918@aol.com
