Default how realistic is this?

was thinking about taking the body off a K-5 and taking the body off my '95 Blazer and putting the Body of my 95 onto the K5 rolling chassis, I was just wondering if it was even possible if so what would be involved other than the obvious electrical nightmare.

i'm shure it would be posible, but you may need to shorten the frame and move body mounts. and a buch of other stuff.

but it would be cool when its done, you would be able to lift it cheaper too!

would be alot of work Tire to tire widths are probably different same as wheel base you would be moving and shorting axles alot of fab work. Better to just put a straight axle under your 95 and sit it on leafs in the front then a lift is real cheap

x2. You have to think that the K5's were substantially wider then the S10 models though. Not to mention wheel base and overall length. Have you taken and measurements yet to see how off everything would be?
