I have a 94 4wd blazer with a rusted out frame and found a 94 2wd blazer with no motor and transmission can I just swap the frames or what am I actually looking at here is it possible and would it be plug and play or alot of modifications. The rest of the frame is good its just the front looks like it got stuck at the beach with where it rusted and that it's only the front portion its a texas truck and the rest of the frame seems to represent that

what will I have to do to make the swap. What modifications are needed and will it be simple or is it rather difficult
It would be pretty complicated to put the stock 4WD stuff onto the 2WD frame. All the mounts are different, suspension is different, etc. And that doesn't even take into account that you would need to use the 4WD transmission, transfer case, driveshafts, PCM, etc. You would be time and money ahead to sell the 2WD and buy the one you want.
You could avoid the problems with the stock front suspension by doing a custom solid axle swap, but that's definitely not a bolt-on kit, either. Not for a 2WD, anyway.
