Long bed body to blazer conversion

I don't know if I'm posting on the right section. I'm new to the cite. I have a 1970 gmc long bed, I've always loved how a lowered blazer without a top and with back seats looks like, with a little bit of free space on the back. Is it possible to use a long bed truck, get rid of the gap between the cab and bed, and pretty much convert it to a blazer look a like? Maybe leave the roof from the cab add a rolling bar(s). I was thinkin the suspensions must be different and if I don't convert a truck into a blazer without modified the suspension the body could maybe bed or crack.

Re: Long bed body to blazer conversion

it could be done with some mods to the frame.......on the blazer the whole body is on mounts, the truck bed is bolted to the frame of course. so if you weld the bed to the cab you are going to have to add body mounts to the bed.....that or eliminate the cab mounts and bolt the cab hard to the frame.
