4wd to 2wd 87 K5.
I've seen a few threads where people have swapped trucks one way or the other. Seemed pretty straight forward and easier than a body swap. I'm assuimg its the same on blazers? Are there any major differences in the frames?
I have a complete 82 SWB C10 frame that I plan on getting the suspension from. Thanks, Paul

Re: 4wd to 2wd 87 K5.
Sweet, thats what I thought. I just noticed some threads in this section with people doing body swaps and wondered if there was some difference between the truck and blazer frames.
Yours is sick btw. Saw it in maggie valley 07 i think. I will be putting a 73-80 clip on this one too. Guess I'm a "later hater"?

Re: 4wd to 2wd 87 K5.
read somewhere that the rear spring hangers are different as well. Try the search, there was a thread recently.

Re: 4wd to 2wd 87 K5.
Ya I think it is the hanger bracket that the shackle bolts too. Looks longer by eyeball anyway...

Re: 4wd to 2wd 87 K5.
This is the thread that I send everybody to that wants to do the swap. This is also how I'm going to do my blazer in the not too distant future...
