Russell, When you say window frame - are you refering to the trim inside, or are talking about cutting and welding the body?

If it's the body, my guess is you'll have to buy a donor vehicle cheap (which i'm sure you already have thought of), but if it's the inside trim, your best bet is to keep an eye on the other boards.

and so on.

Welcome aboard Russel :cheers:

Have fun look around here and you may find you want to change axles or do an upgrade to disc..both are fairly straightforward or just rebuild what you have...not the best for a V-8
And remember we all love photos :thumbup:
 
gona need the outside frame that holds window in place , thats realy the worst part of the whole wagon the rest will be easy repairs, the axles were swapped out to chevy but are drum brakes in the front would like to swap out to disc brakes , i heard a blazer from 68 to 90 will swap in axles , and those are plentiful. any sugestions on putting power steering?
 
The most common power steering is the saginaw pavel6 has a good write up of his change over.
I am working on doing an early CJ style conversion with Herm the overdrive guy using the Ford set up he offers.

Just start doing some searches and you will find a bit of info on here.

Russell-

To attach photos from your album, go to your album, click on the photo you want to attach, and you will see under the photo "image BBCode"

The number for the photo is between the album tags. Copy this code and past it into the thread, or use the album BBCode button in the post window and enter the photo number between the tags.

If the photo isn't in the preview window, it won't show in the post either.
