1972 1/2 ton box van frame vs. 2wd blazer frame
I think I've read somewhere here before that these frames are the same. Anyone know for sure?
Thanks, Jay Last edited by Chevy4Life; 06-10-2008 at 01:18 AM. |

Never heard that, but it would be interesting and might make the swap to 2wd easier...

The Wiki says the 1971 short wheel base was 110", but it's Wiki so it isn't necessarily true.

I know where there are a couple of those sitting! I will have to break out the tape measure and have a look-see. It would be pretty awesome if they were the same!!!
