Blazer chassis under 54 chev pickup?

[Garyhenrich]

Is it possible to take a 54 chevy pick up and instead of putting it on a S-10 chassis use a blazer chassis to get IFS 4 wheel drive but keep it lower than stock? I realize it is too short, maybe put the Blazer front clip on a S10 longbed frame...something like that? I am just finishing my S10 conversion on my 48 but a friend would like to take his 54 and set it up for his wife to drive in a hilly showy area, 4x4 is needed and they want a lower stance. has anyone tried it yet?

Why does it have to be a blazer? Why not use a 4wd s10 frame?

I suppose that would work, so it would still need 2" spacers up front and a Blazer rear end in the back, right?. Do you know anyone that has done this? Any other complications? Can't use the drop spindles so it would be a couple inches higher than a 2wd...

4wd blazers and 4wd s10s have the same front suspension and length rear ends. Both are torsion bar front suspension and 2wd drop spindles will not work. Id find a s10 extended cab 4wd and use its frame. Same wheel base as 2wds just with 4wd.

Good info, thank you!

I had a friend do a Blazer frame in his 54 back in the 80's. He used a full size Blazer from the 70's but it sat high.
