I didn’t see a single sentence in you words. I think you are asking if a 2wd and a 4wd frame are the same. The answer is no. The frame rails on a 2wd frame bulge up and out. The frame rails on a 4wd are as straight as a 2x4. It could probable be done but it would not be right or look the same.

I think the frame from a blazer is the same just a different length, I know the crossmembers match. Try TII74 for frame rails, Sharpie has a couple 4x4's listed in his dirty dozen thread.

Did I fix it correctly?
