Wanting to convert!

Hey guys I found 3, count'um, 3, 4WD blazers that I can get super cheap. My problem is that I'm not much on 4WD. So I would like to know how difficult it is to convert them to 2WD's. They are all rough, but one is pretty good and it is an A/C truck. Thats the builder! Thanks for the help.

I think it depends on how you want to convert them. If you keep the rear leaf springs, I've heard it is fairly easy. Find a donor 2wd pickup.

When you say "find a donor 2WD truck", do you mean for the suspension or for a frame swap?

I have seen it done. You can leave the rear leaf springs on it and remove the front leaf springs and add the front suspension from any 2 wd truck. B.B.
