Totalled '73 4X4 Blazer

[bigdnew]

On New Years Eve a yoyo decided to come into my lane and run me off the road. I know the Blazer is rust bucket but it is mine. The rear end has been torn loose and the frame is bent.

Here is the question. I have a friend that has a '67 large window cab that is solid. New in box front clip metal. My thought is to use a '88 step side bed. Will this body fit on my '73 frame.

I will post pics when I am able. It says I am missing a security token.

K5's have a 108" wheelbase I think. And SWB are 117.5....Plus if the K5 frame is bent why use it.

I could use some door parts from the '73 if you do any parting out on it!

Ya your blazer frame is not the same from the seat back as a pick up and it's not as long as a SB truck.

dang that sucks. i have a four inch supension lift, big wheels and tires and was hoping to use them instead of selling them at a loss.

if it had worked it would have been one bad '67 step side 4x4.

As meatloaf said in the movie "ROADIE" Anything'll work if ya let it.

Keep your lift and tires, find a different chassis and swap the parts. A '67 cab and a '88 box are not going to directly bolt onto the same chassis, so get something with a wheel base that is close and make it what ever you want.

I didn't say it can't be done....Why start with a bent frame. I would swap the lift on to a better frame.....My.02
