69 chevrolet frame swap

I have a 79 blazer 4wd and it has a 350 and a 4speed and is a real good running and driving blazer, but the body is crap and I dont have a title to it. My question is how hard would it be to put a 69 c10 body on the chasis. ive been wanting a 4wd 67 to 72. so how difficult would it be?

Quite difficult, unless you have a lot of experience stretching frames. The Blazer WB is about a foot less than the C-10.

Some body work on the bed could make it a possibility. Failure to do the body work will make it look, well, like an abortion. I've seen them done right and looking right. I've seen them done poorly and it showed.
