What year and where at in the blazer?

Other than a few heat shields My 87 k5 is single floored anywhere i have messed with it.

Take a small drill bit and drill though where you are wanting to cut. if you hit two layers you'll know.

Mostly a single layer.

There is some additional structure in the form of steel cross members that might make it look like a double layer in some areas.

I,m just hoping I can cut that structure and get lucky and not have to cut up the floor.The driveshaft won,t go on,it hits.
