restore a blazer K5 and change it to 2 wheel drive - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi,

I need member expertise... The plan is to put a body of a K5 Blazer (4WD)on a C10 long bed cutted frame(2WD)?

I want to do a 1972 C5/Blazer... because I can't find one for a good price...

Question #1: Is the frame over the rear axle, is the same shape for both (C10 and K5)? I'm planning to put the cab box bracket from the frame of the K5 on the C10...

Question #2: Wheel base of K5 is 104 po. and C10 lwb is 127 po... if I cut the frame in the straight section 23" off like they do in the brother`s truck conversion kit LWB to SWB, is it ok? Plus extra cut on the rear end of the frame to fit the bumper...

Does I'm doing right?
