Bedliner question

[19Blazer80]

Will a drop in bedliner from a 87 pickup fit in my 80 blazer?

I know i'll need to cut some pieces off like the bulkhead part, but will the wheelwells fit correctly?

I want to do this and then put the rear seat back in so I have a cargo area that I can clean up easier then a carpet and wont rip and tear either. Also the side will be covered that way too.

A guy is selling a liner from a longbed for $45 and I'm thinking about getting it if it will fit around the wheelwells.

Ok could someone with a truck, (Prefer a bodystyle the same as a 87)
Please measure their inner wheelwells?
The bottom front to back, from the wall to the inside of the bed and the height from the floor to the top of it.

Why do you want a plastic bedliner?? they usually hold moisture against the metal. I would think youde be better off rolling on bedliner and make it as thick as you want.

Its going in a Blazer, it shouldn't be getting wet unless its spilled on. And i'm repairing the floor on the cheap so I need something to cover the ugly lol

Anyone want to take 2 sec. and measure their wheelwell for me?

Yeah that fine. Its just the seller is waiting on me to say yes or no.

You will end up only using about half of it, but it should work fine. You'll need to cut a bunch off of it because of the rear seat footwell and then make a notch for the fuel filler. If it tucks under the rails then you will need to remove your interior side panels, if you have them. IIRC, the early K5's use the same inner wheel wells as the pickup.

Thanks Bucket, I don't have the side panels and I know i'd be cutting most of it off. Actually, talked to a cousin and he has one sitting in the weeds and said I could have it if I cut it out of there. Just had to watch for stinging and biting things lol
