Scored a 73-75 4wd suspension for free - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Today I dropped by a friends place because she's cleaning out all of the junkers her father brought home. To make a short story shorter, her father gave me the complete drivetrain from a 73-75 Blazer or Jimmy which included front, rear axles, leaf springs, mounts and shackles, driveshafts and an automatic transmission coupled to a working transfer case. (I'm going to pick it up next weekend)

I'm hoping to mount the drivetrain into the donor frame for my 2WD 72 c10, but figure that before I even try I'll get some opinions on what will be involved and what more I will need.

I'm guessing I'll need a new transmission crossmember, what else?

Thanks,

Ron
