It can be done. There is a school janitor/Circle-K employee in Mill City,
OR [east of Salem, on the way to Sisters/Bend] who has done just that. He
told me he had to reposition all the cab support braces & the radiator core
support, but was otherwise straightforward. His rear wheels appeared to be
centered in the bed's wheel wells.
The truck looked good.

Subject: [oletrucks] blazer frame
I have been given a mid to late 80s full size blazer. The 350 motor is gone
but the transmission, four wheel drive transfer case, drive shaft and rear
are
all in fine working order. The body is shot but the suspension, power disk
brakes, and chassis seem in good condition. My question for tonight is if
anyone has had experience placing a 1950 model pick up body on a full size 4
wheel drive blazer chassis. Will it fit? What are the pit falls? Can an air
bag shock system be installed to lower the truck and keep it from getting
too
high in the air as some four wheel drives are? I appreciate all of the
experienced wisdom of this list.
