Hi OneBad4x4, Are you building a truck on a Blazer frame too? If so what do you see so far as a problem? For me a think everything from the front clip, fenders and cab will match up ok. The problem or challenge will be the bed. In my case the 78 Blazer frame has a higher rear hump on the frame. Since I do not want to raise the cab any higher then the orginal blazer body was i might have to get a bed and cut out the floor and lower it to match my cab lines. Then rebuild a floor. Making it like 4-6 inches in height smaller then a regular bed. Keep me informed on your project and I'll do the same.

Thanks John
