71 BZR on late model 2wd chassis. Is it feasible?

[chuckmc8]

Hey Guys, I am starting on a 71 Blazer that is currently 4wd- I want to run an LS engine and make it 2wd and was thinking it may be easier just to buy a donor GM truck with LS and just do the frame mods and use the truck chassis also. I was thinking of '06 or later year model and would like to have a manual tranny. Anyone researched this? I can do the eng/tran swap into stock frame, but would be nice to have 4wheel disc and late model suspension components.
