Blazer frame differences.....
I have been working on the 2WD Blazer frame today and after some comparing the two vs. the four, I noticed that the rear of the frame is different. The pics should explain. I guess I am going to have to cut the 2WD frame down to match the 4WD. Any explantions???

Well pic #1 is a 72 frame, I know because "GQ" looks like that, except
your bumper mount tabs look bent out, you only use the outer bracket with this set up, the bumper goes directly to that frame mount, I can go get a pic of mine if you need it, I WOULD NOT CUT IT, kinda rare.

Frame
I (THINK) they changed the frame in 71. My 70 2wd has the squared off frame in back.

So, do I need to trim the body to fit around the frame. There is a piece of metal that run side to side on the Blazer that looks to hang too low. I guess I can trim that a little and not cut the frame. Whatchathink??? Later, FCG

That is the inner. I guess that means I would need to notch the body as well. It might be better to go ahead and cut the frame since the Blazer already has a pretty good paint job. I don't want to repaint until next year.
