1970 Blazer Build

[hevy_chevy67]

Rocker box repairs are done and bed floor is bolted loosely on.

The boxes are good but had some rot right at the end. Chopped off and burnt in new pieces for the end along with new caps and sise support pieces.

@hevy_chevy67, I would also like some frame measurements also. I visited Dino’s Git Down and saw a few blazer tubs. My c10 swb frame measurements and the repop k5 tub seems to be off. Any help would be appreciated.

Crap, I forgot about getting those earlier. Is there any particular measurements you want?

@ heavy_chevy67, that is a yes. Can you please (1) measure from the tip of the frame to the back of the frame rail (front to back). I would like to see how long the fame rails are. (2) Also can you please measure from each frame mount to frame mount, hole center to hole center? (Exclude the Radiator Support) The 1st tub mount to the second tub mount (38 1/2). The second tub mount to the 3rd tub mount (14 1/4). The 3rd tub mount to the 4th tub mount (47) and the 4th tub mount to the 5th tub mount (12). (3) can you please measure the mounts from left to right, hole center to hole center. This will help me out a lot. The measurements I gave are in inches. The 47-inch measurement may be 41-inches. I can send you a gift card for your time. If you have any questions I will PM my number for any clarification. Thanks a million.

There was a full frame with the dimensions and thread I remember seeing a while ago

Maybe search?

Not to sound harsh or a smart ass, but research is everything. I have done the search. I also have those specs. And from my search and from what I have found is that the c10 frame and blazer frame have the same exact specs. How can both frames have the specs with different wheel bases? Information is everything. Besides if you read some my other posts I am accumulating and documenting this information on a thread, to share with future c10 enthusiasts. If a truck friend wants to help, let them help.

I cut a short bed down and put on a blazer frame years ago and I had to cut 14 inches out of the bed to make it fit. I removed it from between the front of the bed and the wheel well.

Good answer, I was just trying to speed up your process, get out of drawing and actual fabrication, it’s in your head, now build it

You could change the wheel base by stretching or shortening the mounting locaction of the A arms and rear axle, taking into consideration the body mounts

You’re talking to a 74year old man that has years of experience with very little time left, but I will follow along to see the completed task, good luck. I’m sure you will find the answer you seek. You’ve come to right place to find answers with guys of unlimited knowledge in the 67/72 trucks with out the drama

I believe the difference is in the pickup has in the separate bed as the blazer has a integrated bed, as you know
