Frame Swap Questions

[Joshua8336]

hello guys. i came across a 1985 k5 blazer. 4x4 454 not sure on the trans. can i swap my 85 pickup body onto the k5 frame, or are the body mounts different?

The K5 frame is shorter. I've seen some K5s with pickup bodies and really short beds though.

how would i go about putting the front axle under my truck?

youll need the crossmeaber for the engine mounts, layout adn cut the holes for the rear leaf spring . its not as hard as it sounds, It can be easily done in a day if you predrill the holes before you start the swap.
