My truck is in serious need of being retired (found some major rust and will cost too much to fix) and i was wondering how much work would be involved in swapping my suspension to an S-10 Blazer , sec gen ? I know the front is all bolt on , but what am i gonna need to modify to make work on the rear ? I know they are essentially the same vehicle , just a different body and a shorter frame . And how bad would it be to swap everything to a 4wd sec gen ? Will the control arms bolt on ? I know if the arms will fit , imma have to make bag pockest for the front , and i already know imma have to cut the floor in the rear "cargo" area . Is a feasible idea ?  

you could re use your 4-link bars and front cups but that is about all
Those frames are pretty diferent in the rear and everything except the 4-link bars and front cups are welded in like the notch and stuff so you wouldnt want to cut it out and re-use it. It would be better to get new stuff  

Well , all my 4 link parts are the bolt on ones from FBI , including the lower bar brackets and the upper bar brackets . The uppers are actually welded to a crossmember that bolted in right where the factory one for the rear gas tank was .  

you could re-use the diff bracket and lower axle brackets but why not just weld on new tabs and not have to mess with the bolt on crap? Know what I mean? I am not tring to tell you what to do....just asking  

Well , i planned on welding all the bolt on brackets into place after i got em where i wanted em and bolted em down tight . They are 1/4 inch thick so i don't really wanna toss em to the side . LOL . Besides that , i figured it would add strength to it all also .  

sounds to me like it's time for a sfbd for that bad boy, then just adapt all your parts for use on the new frame.  

Well i would do a SFBD , but the cab is all ate up with rust , and i am gettin tired of bein so cramped for room in the cab . LOL .  

hmmmm, well there are lots of rust free dimes out here in arizona, it would just cost an arm and a leg to ship.
