1981 2wd blazer body swap question
 
I have a 1981 blazer frame it was my old orange one body rotted off and I scraped it but saved the frame I found a clean 1987 blazer will the body swap without any problems?

Yep. Direct bolt on. If you want to keep the 87's fuel injection I would swap the tank and fuel lines.

Or you could jest sell me the 2wd chassis and keep the 87 4x4. :)

I don't know if anyone's told you, but the last one you built pops up on craigslist every six or eight months. Last time I saw it for sale the coys were gone and it was on rallys.

Really???? I haven't seen it. If you happen to see it again send me a link. Curious to see what's been done to it. I've been looking for a 2wd chassis to swap the '87 I have now. May just go ahead and swap the 2wd components to this chassis.

Sorry for the thread hijack. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks, Mike

The floor and chassis change happened between 77 and 78, so you are good with the 81 to 87.
