Title: 75 K5 Blazer Info
Post by: Wardog on April 23, 2009, 09:08:22 pm
Hello Yall,
    Just starting a 75 Blazer restification project and I have an issue I need help with.  The doors that are on it are from a late 70’s early 80’s truck and were “cut-to-fit” (rather poorly).  I'm looking for the correct angles/measurements for the cuts at the door tops so I can get it to seal up to the top.  Thx in advance for any help.
Mark

All doors were actually cut to fit.  even the ones that came on the 73-75's.  the post requires a 3 angle cut, but I couldn't describe it.  I have asked a few people for a template for cutting but never found anything specific.  If you have the top on there it should be pretty straight forward.

     Appreciate the replies.  I visited the coloradok5 site, pretty good intel he didn't quite have what I was looking for.  I do have the top on and pretty much ready to try put the correct doors on pretty much freehand the cuts.  I also need to fabricate a bracket to mount the lower cap.
     Another issue I have is the mount between the roll bar and inner box sides.  It appears a 1 inch spacer should be inserted between the two.  Right side is little over an inch and the left side is a little under.  Anyone know what the correct spacing is?

I have a 75 blazer sitting in my shop at work I just picked up. I can take some measurements next week if you don't find your answers by then.
