The crossmember is correct but I believe the plate is for a earlier say 69 and before rockwell 221 T-case.

I agree with David, 69 and before. The one I had on my very first 69 K20 was actually a skid plate for the 2 piece driveshaft , it was mounted on the second crossmember just below the carrier bearing. After 69 no trucks came with a skid plate, only Blazers.

That's an aftermarket skid plate, pretty popular at the time.

Yeah,Cepek and others sold that last skid plate shown. I still have one for my truck. Those are actually better than the factory ones. I'm thinking about making some.

Here is the correct one for a 69-72 Blazer / NP205 T-Case. I self installed one on my 72 K20 also.
