Here are some tips . . .
Two quick ways to check if your 2wd is REAL.
1 - Most guys just convert the front and flip the rear. Which means the rear suspension will have leaf springs. All 2wd's came with coil rear suspension in these years (69-72) . . .
2 - This is the most important, in some states can even hurt you.
The VIN number. The first 1-3 numbers are what you look out for . . .
example - CKE--------- is a (C) - California (K)- 4x4 (E)- V8 (not as important as the first 2, but you usually would atleast want a V8 Blazer to start with - yes they made 6 cyl/4x4 ones too - very rare but the did).
Not all will have that first letter (C) and the 6Cyl code is (S).
Then your pize is either CCE or CE (C)- California (C)- Conventional - or in our terms 2wd (E) - V8 ( the E is luxury in the 2wd about a 60/40 ratio of them built, your chances of finding an original 8 are not as almost impossible of finding a true 2wd).
