anyone ever try to convert 4wd blazer to 2wd?

found a guy who has a 85 4x4 blazer with a near perfect body and top, has no motor or trans, wants to let it go for $500, my blazer body and top being a 7 his being a 10+ it's almost worth it just to save in body work when i'm ready for paint. my question is this ..... does anyone know of a comon point on the 4x4 and 2x4 blazer or c10 frames to messure where to drill the holes for the front x-member. I have NO 81-87 trucks or burbs in my local junk yards to sample from ( my blazer is a 83 4x4). any links or pictures would be very helpfull

thanks

I would do that, you will spend $500 in body work fast plus you will have better parts. Do it.

And I am not sure about the frame. Anyone?

It`s been done several times. Try a search. Might no find any blazer threads but there won`t be any diffeence in converting a truck from 4wd to 2wd.
