'74-'87 wheelbase spec's

Planning another (lol) project and want to use a chevy 4x4 frame and complete drive train. Does anybody know the "wheelbase" measurements for the 1974-1987 k5 Blazers/Jimmy's and SB pickups? Not very knowledgable here on spec's but I think '87 was the last year of the straight front axels.

Any help here is greatly appreciated (in advance).

Blazers are 106.5"

Short bed trucks are 117"

Long beds are 131"

Oh, and straight axle (solid front axles) continued up to 91 on blazers, suburbans, and 1 ton crew cab trucks.
Non crew cab 4x4s went to the IFS in 88.
