Re: old question?
Yes it can, I have seen two or three theads about this. Most of the time you get a 2wd truck front end and change it out with the 4wd in the blazer.
Let me see if I can find the thead for you. This guy chevyrod has one that was 4wd and now is 2wd, but I think he got it that way from the last owner. but you my try him. http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=225217 Quote:

Re: old question?
Yes, it can be done. I have seen one that started life as a 4wd, was converted to a 2wd, then back to a 4wd. It does require drilling a few holes, etc. but no major surgery.
As tvblazer78 said there have been a few discussed on here. One in particular was in the 73-87 truck forum where a member swapped a Blazer and truck suspension. Unfortunately, I can't think of his screen name right now.

Re: old question?
Latest issue of sporttruck magazine covers this topic well.

Re: old question?
There was a big thread over a year ago where a guy posted in good detail the swap from 4wd to 2wd & 2wd to 4wd. He swapped both front ends out to make a 4x4 truck and a 2wd blazer. I don't remember his screen name either, but a search should bring it up.

His user name is sixty8c10 and here is the link to his build thread.
