70' Blazer on 80' Blazer frame?
The vehicle is:
1970 K5 Blazer 4x4 6cyl Manual  Drum Brakes in front I'm was considering going the 2WD route, and slamming it on 20's or 22's.... I found a 1980 2WD K5 Blazer for cheap, it already has disc brakes and a 350/Auto. Will the 70 body bolt up to the 80 frame? It would definitely make life easier.... Any help is appreciated

The frames are longer on the newer k5s and arent shaped the same.

Re: 70' Blazer on 80' Blazer frame?
I think they have a shorter wheel base and you will most likely have to move around body mounts. But that 2wd would be good for the suspenion and drive train. I think that would be the better way to do it

69-72 Blazers have a 104 inch wheelbase. 73-91? Blazers have a 106.5 inch wheelbase...

Rob everything you can, use the 70 frame and covert it to a 2wd
