[renswic]

now i know ive seen a how to on one of the s10 forums i haunt but for hte life of me i cant find it or any info on it.

what id like to do is take the bumper from my 88s10 blazer and use it on my 91 s10 baja, also going to swap the receiver hitch as well. what all will i have to do?

All you should need is the frame horns off of the blazer. They are bolt on parts. Not sure if you'll have to trim the frame at all or not.

Blazer bumper on a pickup is not a simple bolt on. The blazer bumper sits too high on a truck as is and hits the tail gate when its lowered. You have to drop the bumper down 1 or 2 inches with custom brackets.

ill play with it, atm the tail gate is a temp thing, soon as i got the cash ill be snagging a tail gate net for the baja

what about the front is it the same way or is it a bolt on ?

['94 Big Blaze]

wont fit, have to do some cutting and welding and make custom brackets, i threw the blazer bumper in the scrape pile and put on a rollpan lol its much easier.

the front bumper fits i just used one bolt right up an big blaze said it would and woud only work with modification not true fit on my 92 off a blazer but the rear wont i agree with that u can see the difference in them by looking at them

Front bumpers are the same and any first gen will swap 82-93 (94 for the suvs)

as for the back bumper, well 1(technically 2 parts) made it from the blazer:

bumper is made from 2x4 frame tubing welded to stock and cut down bumper mounts so it fits like a roll pan in between the bed sides the 2 carry over parts are the plate bracket(ma and pop parts store item) and the trim piece that covers the top gap from the back bumper on a blazer to under the tailgate :)
