Re: 2WD Blazer

for those who used a lwb truck frame for this conversion, could the attached picture be used as a reference for the cut? Obviously the measurements will be changed to accommodate the wheelbase. Theoretically if the 12" is changed to 23" it should work

The instructions from the lwb to swb were to:

From the upper rear hole, measure forward 4 ½". Make a mark, and using a square, draw a vertical line. From that line, measure forward 12" and mark. Then from that mark, measure forward another 12". Now, find the center of the frame rail top to bottom. They are about 6" tall, so the center should be 3". Make a mark at the front and rear lines, then draw a straight line front to rear connecting all three vertical lines. The idea is to remove a 3" tall x 12.

The rear cab mounts can now be reinstalled back onto the frame. Measure 12" back from the original rear holes and make a mark. Using a square, draw a verticle line at that mark. Now measure down from the top of the frame to the center of the top original hole. Make a mark at that measurement on the vertical line you just drew. Measure 12" back from the original front hole and repeat as above. Remember, the top of the bracket needs to set .150" above the top of the frame rail, a touch more than 1/8". Drill the holes to 7/16".
