There is way too much here to even start on. You can search the threads on the truck board for shortening a long bed to short bed. The process would be similar, but a Blazer is even shorter and has a different frame set up. You may be better off starting with the blazer and putting a truck cab section on it.

well see i no it would be beter to start with blazer but i cant find any junk blazers around here and the ones i do find are restored and cost $$$$$$ plus i got this truck gave to me for some work...im gona be building the frame from the cab back most likly and cuting the top of,slanting winshield and some other stuff i was jus wondering if i needed to z the frame or could i just make a new crossmember in the front.and i need the blazer measurments but if sure i can find that...i could probaly tell if i needed to z the frame if the truck was at my house now but its still in the field..it needs motor so i was thankin before i put a motor in it i could go ahead and z the frame or redo the crossmember but if i can get away with just doing the crossmember it be great
