72 4x4 Blazer body swap to a 72 Chevy C20

Is it possible to place a 72 4x4 Blazer body onto a 72 Chevy C20 long bed frame? I also want to take the C20 body and put it on the 72 Blazer frame. Can I do this? Thanks everyone.

Wheel base is about 20 inches longer. Why not take the 3/4 ton suspension and bolt it under the Blazer?

I had not thought about that. The Blazer is a 4x4 and I want to make it a 2 wheel drive. I want to make the C20 a 4x4 using he Blazer. Can I just switch out the suspensions?

Pretty much, are they both leaf spring rears?? That may be the only "work" part of it.

Can be done with a little work.

I think they are both leaf spring rears. So I can make the C20 a 4x4? Pretty dang cool.

I would pull both bodies off, lots of little things to do that would be way easier when you can work from the top.
