Body swap?

Have any of you heard of someone putting a blazer body on a complete s10 frame?

I'm trying my best to weasel my way out of working on the locked 4.3 and since she's so stubborn with typical suv thing (grrrrr!) she wants to fix it, but that is the last thing I want to do

Really got me thinking....is it a simple body swap or is there a whole lot more? I think it'd be kinda neat and hilarious to see a 2.2 5sp 2wd blazer.

The v8 idea was smashed, estimate a rebuild to be just as much as another 4.3, replacement 4.3 is $800+ for one that has good stats.....that leaves the ever-so reliable 2.2 as an option.
It won't have all the bulky weight of the 4x4 stuff so the 2.2 won't feel much weaker than what it is already.

Donor - 97 s10
Evil - 95 blazer with locked 4.3


cliffs - put 95 blazer body on 97 s10 ez?








p.s. I know its retarded and will never happen (has it??) but entertain me!

Re: Body swap?
