my 84 Blazer

Here is what I am building
1984 S10 Blazer soon to be mated with a shortened full size frame. Hope to get this project togeather with in the next year.
The blazer

as of now the body and frame have been separated front clip bobbed and waiting for the frame
The truck I'm stealing the frame from

It has 12bolt/D44 with 3.73's I'm in need of a th350 and a 203 transfer case.

I've seen folks before that have taken S-10 bodies and put them onto full size frames. Not entirely sure I understand the idea, maybe it gives you heavier suspension with a compact body? Or is it an easy way to get out of the lightweight IFS on the S-10?

Keep us updated 'cause I'd love to see this as it progresses.

the reason I went with the full size frame was to get stronger, wider axles with out having to fabricate suspension mounts. I will do more than just mud bog with it so I am stretching the wheelbase to 108" or 4" front an rear. Plus I like the look of the full width axles. Once the weather gets better I can get most all the fabrication done (have to pull the 63 out of the garage, and have a 45 day trip to Italy ;D) They way I figure I will end up in the super stock class, most likely the slow end.

Here is a quick update first trial of the body on the frame

Nice, making progress.
Are you still looking for a TH350?
