blazer/jimmy body styles
 

Other than the frame and front clip, where there any major body differences between the years for these models that would make one year preferable over the other? Anyone know of any 2wd for sale around vancouver British columbia?

You got it...frame and clip. everyting else can be swapped out. (transfer cases, engines ect)

what is the difference in the frames?

the center section of the blazer where the seat mount and all, under that there are two boxes, i think there tac welded under there and have a plate behind both of them that can be unbolted, i dont really under stand the point of them other then maybe there for the structure. hmmm, the frame is short compared to a SWB frame.

with a welder, ruler, and alot of time , you can probly pull off and make a blazer body

alex is talking about the rocker boxes, which i net is directly related to added structure needed due to lots of missing metal on the "cab" compared to a pickup cab, probably keeps the rockers from flexing or sagging and messing up the door alignment, i found this out real quick when i chopped the suburban tub, the floor bows real quick when theres no rood structure to preven such from occuring, and when i was dismantling the 72 blazer after i had removed front clip and had disconnected tub frame mounts i could lift the firewall of "cab" and the lfor pans flexed a bunch, the whole entire fornt of tub would move up alot with doors, it was very weak, and but it was totally rusted out junk too though,
the only differences in 69-72 blazer jimmy frames i can think of right how would be if are 4x2 or 4x4, 4x4 rear are all leaf and parallel frame rails, whereas some 2wd were coil and bowed out rea rails

good luck
