Is the wheel base of a suburban or a blazer the same as a long wheel base truck?

A blazer is a lot shorter than a swb truck, but I believe the burb and lwb are the same.

Yep, 127.

So, a person wanting to convert their lwb 2wd to a 4wd could look for a 4wd suburban as well as a truck? Right? Meaning a person could use either frame to transfer 2wd body to?

I think the frames differ

I think there may be differences in the body mounts but I'm not sure.If you find one or know where one is use a tape measure and find out.A digi-cam would be a good idea if you can't put them side by side.
