curious also, what will you use for a steering box? the frame mounted box from the blazer is forward of the axle on the outside of the frame, but the frame is narrower ahead of the firewall on the blazer I think, so the tire may rub and you will have less turning radius if you bolt that to the 55-59 frame. guys with these trucks have done that for 2wd trucks and found they work well but not if you have a right hand turn to make, lol.
