Is a 1/2 2x4 Blazer frame the same as a SWB 1/2 2x4 Truck Frame (trailing arm)
Or are they different?

Thanks guys

They are different. A Blazer has a much shorter wheelbase.

104" for the blazer
115" for the swb truck
127" for the lwb truck

Hey just cut some of the bed out (re-weld) and make a super short bed pickup, Its something I've wanted to do for a long time now. And I think it would look really cool. what do you guys think.... I guess it depends how much you gotta cut out.... just a few inches would not be worth the trouble...
