Does anybody know if I can drop a 75 Blazer body onto a 79 frame without a big hassle?? I do not have a 75 to look at to compare the floors and/or body mounts.

Thanks

It could be done but there is going to be cab mount changes needed.

The 79 frame will have outboard mounts for the fist two cab mounts. The scond one will have to be removed to clear the 75 Rocker boxes. The 79 has rear passenger foot well and the 75 doesn't. The second cab mounts are in that location as well on the 75. You will need to build a riser to work as the second cab mount.
