Looking into a truck
Hello to everyone. I'm a noobie to these boards. I have a few basic questions.
My grandfather has a large assortment of older cars and trucks. Due to his age and other projects, a lot of his other cars just sit there. I've always been a fan of the 2nd gen c/k's. And he just so happens to have 3. I like the short fleetside beds (not stepside). It would be great if one fit the requirements I want. So the basic questions. What does swb/lwb mean? What engine do you guys prefer? Will a v8 line up with the L6 mounts and vise versa? Do you leave yours as a 3 on the tree or do a floor mounted shifter? What's the vin Id for shortbed or the easiest way to check? Any other questions or trouble spots I should look for. Thanks, Kenneth.

Re: Looking into a truck
Welcome to the board!
Since you are asking about 2nd generation Blazers, I moved this thread to the 73-87 forum so that you will hopefully get the answers you are looking for. Good luck! Here is an answer to one of your questions: SWB = short wheelbase LWB = long wheelbase

Re: Looking into a truck
I'm actually after the info on the pickup trucks, not blazers. But they run on the same frames I'd guess right? I though the 67-72 was the gen2's. What's the length on the swb? And thanks for the responses.
