Don`t do it ! What you have is worth some $$ even though the body is shot. The body can be fixed/replaced, no matter how bad it is.

I agree with teamharvey. 70-72 2wd's are very hard to find. Find yourself a 72 and older tub or fix the one you have. Or sell the one you have and buy a 73 and newer that is more complete.

Parts are readily avaiable for the first gen trucks. Most of those parts fit the Blazers. If your thinking about putting that 84 body on the first gen frame, it's going to require more modification that it is worth. The wheel base and track widths are different, not to mention the whole shape of the frame. Besides, the 84 isn't full convertable!
