72 blazer ls swap

So I'm fare lyrics new to the site and purchased my blazer about 6 months ago. I love driving it so much I did a lot of research on this site and decided I would try my first ls swap. I will start by saying thank you to everyone for all the info. I'm hoping that this build might help someone else. After gathering some parts I started my project right after Christmas.

Since I did not want to stop driving the truck and wanted a lift kit I decided to start with a second frame. After having it sand blasted we added some bracing to help stiffin the body for towing. I decided to use a 31 gallon tank from a 87 blazer to be able to have an in tank fuel pump. To mount it I took 2 pieces of 2x2 angle and welded them together. This aligned to the rear set of rivet holes for the bump stop mounts. The original gas tank brace will need to also be moved back to fit the tank. This aligned with a set of holes already in the top of the frame to give you a reference point.
