I don't know that I would try it with chains alone. Probably not even with weight in the back. I have done the passes in many vehicle types but a 2wd truck just doesn't sit well with me.

yeah,your right,so now you've given me an excuse to buy a 73-87 4x4......maybe i'll trade..........but i like my 454......thanks for your input......

If your really in love with that particular truck....Just make it a 4x4.

That just means you need a 4x4 too.

If I had the money I would have a 4x4 Blazer, just to be a little "more rounded". (Not in body style though.)
