Are you putting a Jimmy tub on a 2wd shortbed frame?
I assume you know the wheelbase is different?

ClifBlazer 10-22-2009 02:48 AM

Re: 72 jimmy to 67 chevy blazer
 
11'' shorter in between cab and wheel well not shore where to cut out figered I'd find out when tube and frame meet:smoke: do you think this bed is any good to any one?

more pic. of jimmy have to reduce them to fit

lolife99 10-23-2009 06:06 AM

Re: 72 jimmy to 67 chevy blazer
 
No, I haven't seen this done. All the body mounts will have to be moved on the new frame.
I think it would be easier to add 2wd front suspenion to the original blazer frame.
Many people have done this "conversion".

Don't cut the short wheelbase frame.
Find another 4x4 blazer frame to convert.
I wish I had something to trade for your stepside.
I have complete disc brake front crossmembers if you need one for your conversion.
Also trailing arms and crossmembers.

Do yourself a favor,... and find another blazer frame.
