Easiest way to tell between 4x4 SWB/K5 frames?
Local yard has a frame from a 67-72 "truck or blazer" for cheap, was thinking about how nice it would be if I got that, then I could drive my K5 while I sandblast, detail and POR-15 the other frame.
My question is, this frame is short but I haven't seen enough of these trucks to easily tell the difference between a SWB and K5 frame (both 4x4's), and a SWB frame is useless to me. Could someone post up pics or highlight the easiest ways to tell the difference between the two? |

The wheelbase on a swb is 115" ifrc and the blazer is almost a foot shorter.

That's what I wanted to say, but it seems too short.
