what 78 blazer parts fir my 70?

Found a 78 Blazer in the yard, and was wondering if there were some parts that would fit mine? It has an aux battery tray, power steering pump/lines, and top bolts that I am mainly interested in. The rear seat would be nice since mine didn't come with one. And would the gas tank and lines work if I can get them out? Thanks.

Nothing will be a direct bolt in but if you wanna do some mods, most of it 'could'.

I put a 31 gallon blazer tank in my 72. I used the front crossmember from a 73up blazer and moved my original rear crossmember back as far as it would go. Worked out great. Sure beats carrying a 5gallon can of spare gas along!

Doesn't it hang down pretty low beneath the frame?

Would you consider it to be an option if the blazer was going to be used for wheeling?
