A '69 Blazer came stock with an open knuckle drum brake Dana 44, not a 10 bolt. The 10 bolt front axle was not introduced until the '77 model year. If it is a 44 it will bolt in. If it is a later model 10 bolt everything will work except the tie rod, but that usually comes with the axle. I think the steering was different on the '67, but if you already have a disc brake 44 in there, that has been dealt with by the PO.
