It's been done before. Just keep in mind that if you're going to have the cab and bed completely seperate that it's going to be a really short short bed.

Re: 2 into 1 Thoughts ?
If I had your predicament, I would transfer my Blazer suspension and drive train into the 2wd long bed. Then all you would need to do is have the correct rear drive shaft and you would have a nice 71 LWB 4x4.
I think I have seen a shortened bed to fit on a blazer frame. Not for me. I prefer 4x4's to be long beds. This is only my opinion however. |
