It just tightens up the clearances. It doesn't hinder the tailgate from opening.

I want to do this but I want to buy the right parts. Do you have the exact part numbers for the s10 bushings?

Need some help with part numbers please
Thanks for putting together this great writeup. I am very anxious to do this myself. I'm still trying to nail down the right parts to buy to do this but I'm having some trouble and I was hoping you can point me in the right direction.
You identify the part number of the 12 of the s10 Retainers (p/n 29-0812 from LMC Truck), so I've got that covered. I've tried finding the right body mount part from LMC Truck but I'm confused by what I can find. LMC Truck has the following three body mount part numbers on LMC Truck for an s10 blazer:
29-1500 "cab to frame mounting kit"
29-1504 "upper cushion & spacer"
30-2021 "upper cushion-mount"
I'm not sure which one of the above is the right one to use. However, you mention that you bought the body mounts from amazon. Do you know exactly which part/kit you bought from Amazon?
You also recommended buy two M12x1.75 bolts at 80mm in length for the core support. You also mention buying more shorter M12x1.75 bolts, but how many and what length(s) did you end up using besides the 80mm?

I had gone to a junkyard when I was first looking into this and had pulled 2 sets from a few blazers. Sandblasted and painted them up.
Hope this helps

This helps a lot, thank you!
It doesn't look like amazon kit includes s10 retainers. Did you alter the stock ones from your Tahoe, or did you use some s10 retainers?

I got all the retainers from the junkyard, easier than cutting them, which is not that bad just work.
Also got all bolts

Let's say I'm lazy and I cut my retainers to fit the S10 mounts. Do you know if the the retainers will work if I switch back to the tahoe mounts?
