Need to extend?
Body lift wont affect brake lines/drive shafts. The steering shaft will need to be addresed depending on how much body lift you plan on going. I would start by ditching those front lift blocks as soon as possible for a b52 swap or a good set of lift springs. I'm not a fan of lift blocks at all...- firefighter-emt03

broken sway bar mount
I had the same issue on my '85 burb. I took a cutoff wheel and cut the old rusted bolts of and replaced the sway bar mounts with red energy greasable bushings.

window motor
I just replaced the exact same motor. Oreilys had it in stock $34.99 with a $3.00 core. Autozone can get it too for about the same price- firefighter-emt03

96 Tahoe seats in an 85 K5
Old77 did a write up on his NBS seats in his truck. http://www.gmsquarebody.com/forum/showthread.php?t=375 it might offer you some info. Should be easier in a blazer. Cause the floor is flatter than a pickup without the recess for the dual tanks.- firefighter-emt03
