swapping parts from a 90 blazer to a 73

[JohnnyChevelle]

Hey guys, I have a 73 blazer, and i just picked up a rotten 90 blazer with a lot of good parts. what i want to know is how many chassis and suspension parts from the 90 will fit on my 73. the 90 has a 4 inch lift and steering dampener that i would like to put on my 73. will these things work? thanks guys

Yes , just use the COMPLETE ( all springs and hardware ) suspension off the new rig , as the front shackle bolts are bigger on the new rig , thus the bushings are specific .

The steering dampener may or may not work. I think there were 3 differn't styles of tie rods. 73-76, 76-80, 80-91. The brackets on the axle may be in a differn't spot too. If it's an aftermarket one that clamps to the axle/tie rod, then you should be ok to swap it over.
