Common questions
How do I know it fits my truck?
This part is listed for 1973–1980 Chevy and GMC Blazer, C10, C20, C30, Jimmy, K10 and others. The full year, make and model list is in the Truck Compatibility tab on this page. If your truck has been modified, or you are between two of the year ranges we list, send us the year, make and model and we will confirm the fit before you order rather than after.
How long before it ships?
It is a stock item and leaves our warehouse in 1-3 business days. Transit after that is typically 2-5 business days in the United States. Larger orders can arrive in more than one box on different days.
What if it is not right for the truck?
You have 30 days from delivery to return it by mail. Return shipping is on you, and the part needs to come back uninstalled and unmodified - once a panel has been trimmed or welded it cannot go back. Made-to-order items are final sale. The full terms are on our returns page.
Can I install this myself?
It is designed for a home install with ordinary hand tools, and the fitment notes on this page list anything that needs drilling, trimming or welding. Where an installation guide or video exists for the part it is linked in the Installation tab.

Great company to work with. When the original shipment got hung up in customs, they filed the claim and sent new braces.
Great product
Very sturdy and well made.
Definitely helped our hood on our 79 Big 10 Bonanza! Our hood was already creased, unfortunately. The braces didn’t fix the hood, but they definitely help it. Super easy to install. These are nicely powder coated or painted, and good quality.
My only complaint is the brackets got held up in customs here in the US. Pretty sure customs removed the screws from the package. I didn’t realize that screws were so dangerous.This was not LS fault and I will definitely be buying from them again. Dawson at LS was very quick to respond to my emails and very helpful when I needed him.
