I am wanting to know how hard it is to stock floor one of these trucks? My dad has one that runs, with little body work to be done to it, I thought it would be a fun project seeing as how i have never touched a dodge. Just wanting to know where to get started, any problems i should watch for, any bullshit i am gonna run into, its a 3.9 v6 if that makes a difference. Thanks for the info in advance.

I am working on a 92 ext cab. im not body dropping but i am bagging and z'd the front. your front crossmember lays 2" lower than the rest of the frame. watch the off set on your wheels. you can do a 5 lug swap out of an older dakota. they are in the process of making arms for our trucks but they will prolly cost 1000. you can use dime cups up front. thats all i can think of right now. hope this helped. they don't make much for these trucks so its alote of fabrication.

Hey that's cool bro. I already have s 10 front cups, I can fab up another set from those, as far as the frame work, this truck hasn't moved in about 4 or 5 years, so I can build an entire new frame for it, if I mess it up, its not a loss, nobody depends on this truck that's what I like about it! Does everything tuck up in the frame or am I gonna have to section the oil pan and stuff like that? Thanks for the help!

Thanks bro. Ill check that out, yeah I've always been a s10 guy but they all look the same, this is something different you don't see all the time. Yeah hopefully ill start building it soon. Just want something to start working on I gotta drive the blazer everyday and the rest are just cars!

Hopefully this is gonna be a great project for me. I am excited that this isnt alot of bolt on parts... i like being challenged. I havent really decided where i am gonna with it but i have time on this on so hopefully i can get it exactly the way i want it and not have to drive it. I already have some plans for it just seeing how everything is gonna work for it is gonna be the next thing. Oh well ill tear it down when i at least get my blazer bagged and roll it for a litle while.
