Blazer Frames - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm curious, has anyone here used an S-10 Blazer frame? Regular S-10 frames are hard to find cheap around here, let alone 4x4 longbeds, plus my truck will be AWD, so I'm going with a '95+ Bravada frame. I'm just wondering if anyone here has used one of these frames before and how it was stretching the frame?

I think you will have some issues.
First, the frame section from the rear axle back is probably going to be to short to support the rear of the bed. (I measured it before I went with the truck frame)
Second, because of the front torsion section, you will have to stretch it in an weird spot. In front of the rear axle before the spring perches (or move them) and after the torsion crossmember.
Just my .02 cents.
