Converting a 4wd into a 2wd w/ IFS, trailing arms and coils all the wau around

Hi Blazerless here! Been looking for a 70-72 2wd for summertime fun for the family......Been looking for a couple months, clearly there are not many 2wd's out there.......

I'm looking for a 2wd primarily for ride quality, plus that, i have no need for 4wd.......I wouldn't be driving in sand, snow, mud or offroad........I'd rather go the Blazer route than the convertible, say a Cutlass or Camaro.......Blazer is much better for those Home Depot runs!

So anyway, enough blabbing.............

Do I keep looking for that rare 2wd, or do I buy a decent 4wd and dig into the conversion?

Gonna end up doing a mini resto, and I don't think I care about the matching #'s issue........

And, since I will end up probably replacing every wear item in the suspension, maybe I should consider converting a 4wd.......

Unfortunately, it is not like 2wd donor frames/chassis are easy to find either.......probably have to convert the 4wd frame......which probably means the body has to come off?

So, do I keep looking for that 2wd, or condider conversion?
