Trailblazers came in two lengths the standard one, that Dug started with, has (as I recall) a 113 inch wheelbase. The longer on is called a Trailblazer EXT, and that wheelbase is 129 inches. The truck I am building will have a "stretched" cab, and a wheelbase of 123 inches. I think you should look hard at the 4 Wheel drive trailblazer/envoy frame. The wheels fit in the fenders, much more than a full size truck. Look at BBeep's thread - he is doing this on an AD suburban using the entire Inline 6 drive train. Good luck with whatever you do, but please post pictures.
