Ok guys, I just removed the rear setup on my 69 truck. I was wondering if it will fit a 2 wheel drive blazer. I have the notch, panhard, and shock relocators?

blazntn,

I got your PM and I'm pretty sure it didn't answer this question.
I do believe I've read somewhere that, other than the obvious length difference, the frames are the same as far as the hoop and mounting locations go. The trailing arms will be shorter and the distance from the cab mounts to all the suspension components will be less.

You planning on using your old set-up on Chad's Blazer? That would be very cool.

Yep, that will all fit.

The trailing arms are not shorter, they are the same length on Blazers, short beds, and long beds of the 67-72 era.

Oops. Sorry 'bout that. I thought they were shorter.
They just mount closer to the front?

ok next question, does anyone know where I can get directions on how to install the bolt in notch and shock relocators.

Here's a thread on the C-notch:
