Re: should i do it or will i regret it
 

the 69 is all new but 2wd i really want to make it 4wd the blazers body is not to bad the interior sucks pretty bad but i like the 69 more so if i put them in a pot and stirred it up and made a 4wd 69 of course i would have to get a diff box or cut it but has anyone ever done this and if so is there a build on it i could see

If I was going to the work of putting the body on a different series chassis, I'd pick a lot nicer chassis. You'd be doing a lot of work to pick up 3 years of technical advances. I appreciate that you probably doing it because it's a truck you have on hand, but the time investment is so much that sometimes it's worth looking for better parts before you put a couple hundred hours of your time in to 'save money'.

Why not a totalled 2000 Tahoe or something? Keep the ABS and stabilitrak and brakes and suspension and put your old body on it.

Again, I don't know if putting a '69 body on a 1973 is easier than putting it on a 2003. Go Stampeders!

The wheelbase on the Blazer is shorter, so you either have to extend that frame or shorten your shortbed.

it's a good way to get them both into the dumpsters

You'll regret ruining both.

trucks a 69 blazer is 83 not 73 but i think i will leave the trucks as is the 69 is almost done anyway dont want to pull it apart again and i think i will buy some new sheet metal for the blazer and strip the carpet out and spray some bedliner on the floor drop a 350 in and jack it a couple inches then i will have a summer toy and a winter toy thanx for all the input guys

Re: should i do it or will i regret it
 

It may be an '83 but its still the same chassis that was used on a '73, so really it would only be upgrading the chassis 3 years...

Re: should i do it or will i regret it
 

wasnt really looking to update was looking to make my 69 a 4x4 and right now i have a 85 front end on my 69 so i thought maybe a 83 blazer would maybe be easy to swap
