front end

silverChevy79 · 03-03-2009, 09:02 AM

i have a 79 chevy silverado. i hit a deer and it bent my core support and dented my fender hood and door. does anyone know if a front end off an 86 k-5 blazer will bolt to my truck? also how do wire in the eletric windows into the truck without it looking like ****?

the '86 uses a different fender and hood i believe.

If you have the whole 86 front clip you can use it, but not just the fender and hood.

ditto to Chevyguy.

81 and up use a different core support, fenders, hood, grille etc.. The doors will work though.

i will have the whole front end of the blazer from the firewall to the front of the truck. i will take the hood brackets and all the pieces off the blazer and the bumper brackets and bumper hood and the metal piece between the hood to the windshield. all that will work on my 79 right?

yup. If you use all of it, it will.
