Re: s10 AD swap, why not 4x4 and why not 2nd gen?

other guys have done the trailblazer on TF trucks, I have seen a truck and a panel in the project files.
See, that doesn't look all that difficult. Just not the EZ S10 swap that's so well documented.

Still got it stuck in my head so there may be no help for me. LOL
I have a line on an 04 trailblazer with 130k. Was in a slow roll over so the ins co totalled it. Has an immaculate leather interior and was well maintained.
On of the 4 ADs I just bought is a 2 ton so it has fenders and hood for big tires. Granted the TB would be a better donor for a burb but I'm thinking I could snub the nose up as much as possible, set the cab higher than the above linked burb thread and do an ext cab. Would almost look like a COE.
Would be easier than this Clint Eastwood Gauntlet Style Classic Cruiser.
