After allot of measuring of both frames and bodies Ive decided to press on with the body swap of the FSJ to the K5 blazer frame. It looks like the major work will be a little frame lengthening, a drive shaft length adjustment, and some body mounts fabricated. Then remounting the front clip and radiator. Im going to find a good strong 350ci motor to replace the 305 for now. I have a 454 on its way in about a year that I can upgrade to then. I think with the frame swap it will raise the body up a little more, at least enough that I can run 38's easy. I will keep you posted on the progress. And thanks to all of you that has helped to this point.  |

You forget I am in the Navy. We don't operate off of logic like that.
