I cant find a good 80's 2wd blazer out here (central oregon) so I bought a perfect body 86 4wd. I was told it's no big deal, all the frames have the holes drilled out for a 2wd x-member.NOT MINE!! so can anyone give me a referance point to messure to mount the x-member, or some good pictures would be cool too

THANKS 4 YOUR HELP

I can't help you with the measurements you need, but wanted to welcome you to the forum.

none of the 4x4 frames have holes for the 4x2 crossmember, If you have a 2WD donor pickup availible the front section both are the same from the front body mount forward.

well heres the deal it was abandodnd on base (camp pendleton) either, marine died or got out of the marine corps and didnt want it, so last time it was tagged was 95, so I tookit it and used a bunch of parts off of it, tub is straight, no doors no tail gate no hood, newer front clip, looks to have lowered coils! and the back is dumbed with lower springs, has some nice wheels on it, front pass side has a ding in it! i'll see if i can get pics, no title but if all you need is the frame! it would work perfect, I'm on camp pendleton socal! by oceanside
