Help me Decide on a Project - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Looking to get a Blazer but need some information I am not able to glean through searches. While I enjoy the styling of the earlier blazers, I want to have part-time 4WD. I believe 1981 was the first year of part-time 4WD. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Questions:

Is it easier to meld the chassis from an '81+ to the body of a late 70's, or is it easier to modify the late 70's chassis with the necessary 4WD components?

atvpro fabricated a heavier frame for the '72 build, referencing "problems" that blazers have. Are these "problems" corrected in later models?

Are there any older model years with rear disc brakes, or when did the option become available?

Any leads on "experts" in the Denver Colorado area?
