75 K5 Blazer Info
« 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.

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.
