Truck on Blazer

Any odd differences I should know of about it? I'm putting a 1986 2wd truck cab on a 1980 4x4 Blazer frame. I plan to keep the 1980 front clip because I like the front end and it's in a little better shape. I know I have to cut out the floor and bolt in the center trans/case shell from the '80 cab.

I've only ever done truck-to-truck swaps, so this truck-to-Blazer swap will be a new one for me.

1988 K5 Blazer, [coming soon] TBI 400, SM465/NP208, 12 bolt rear, 3:08's, looks like a 1980.

After the front seats the frame changes, so they are not the same.
