Haha please ppl bare with me here. so I found an 81 blazer full chassis except t-case. (FOR FREE) it’s mine already, just have to pick it up. It original came with 3/4 ton axles but he swappped em out with 1 ton axles. Would the frame swap be worth it? Frame extension or shorten? If I have to. I have a long bed. Would the t-case I have now be able to work with the donor frame? If so what transmission will it work with? I plan on putting an LS with a 4L60 or 80.
Also my current frame has been modified a bit. Shock mounts and tranny mount cut off. Things here and there. I bealive it’s an aftermarket shock mount. A huge concern for me is the steering box. Outside of the frame or inside?
