I recently did an entire drive train change on a 78 K5 that I purchased last September. New 350 motor/ SM 465/ 205 TC/ 8 lug 44 in front/ 14 bolt in rear. All new suspension with DIY shackle flip in rear. All new Autometer Traditional Chrome gauges in the dash. This particular blazer was top of the line in 78. The body has rust issues in the typical areas and I am contemplating making the repairs to this tub or finding a decent tub that needs little to no work other than paint. I have my eye on a 84 tub that is extremely clean and can be obtained for a very reasonable price. My question to K5 folks is what kind of retrofits would be required to install the 84 tub on my 78 chassis. Positive input would be greatly appreciated.
