Scott,after looking over the pics again,it looks like the rear cab mounts (which are truck mounts) are too close to the spring hangers for the back.I looked at my '71 Short K10 and the ones on your frame are way closer to them than mine..which leads me to believe it is a blazer frame.Didn't they remove some of the frame to make it shorter? Maybe that's where they did it..If that's the case,I think it's a lwb 4wd.Compared to my blazer,there is more space between cab mounts and spring hangers too.
What has me puzzeled is the back though.As much frame as there is behind the spring hangers,it makes it look like a lwb 4wd..don't know.
