Short bed to Blazer?
Here's the question. Will a Blazer body fit onto a short bed 2WD frame?
Reason I'm asking is I may have the oportunity to pick up a 73 short bed with a real poor body. I know there are numerous Blazers tht are parked due to smog problems here in California. Maybe I can put the two together and have a 2wd Blazer with a smog free chassis  ?

It would be titled whatever year the body was. It carries the vin.

A lot of things may be different in CA. A vehicle is always registered according to the vin on the body.

yes, the 75 vin tag is in the door, and the 85 vin is gone, the PO did the swap, he's a friend of mine, I know it went to the dmv for verification, and they mached the vin to the frame. and the frame numbers were the key to it being titled as a 75.
