Re: where's that post?

This is the 2wd to 4wd conversion, but I think you are wanting 4x4 blazer to 4x2...

The Blazer and Truck one is here:

Re: where's that post?

Thats awesome that both the blazer and the truck got fixed up and are being driven. I guess the frames for 2wd and 4x4 are the same, it's just a matter of bolting up the front suspension ?

Re: where's that post?

no not true, i was unable to bolt the subs front suspension and axle to the
2wd frame. I thought it was going to work after reading the blazer and pickup swap. They were 1/2 ton frames and mine were 3/4 ton. I had mine welded professionally. The frame heights were different. Hope this helps.

Re: where's that post?

The front half of the frames on the 1/2T trucks are the same (Blazer vs Truck) and all trucks are the same as far as the rails go.

3/4T are all the same as each other but not like 1/2T as Vern350 found out.
