Are we trying to pull a mountain with a lawnmower or what? Something just bothers me about a v6 in front of 5.38 gears. Don't you think you should run a little bit more motor up front?

My first question is how do you plan on fitting that blazer on a 4 door long bed dually frame? We can talk drivetrain after that is accomplished.

Shortening the frame is easy. But he needs to rethink the gears and engine.

Ok well got opinions on the the drive trail....I don't want to buy another Motor and the 4.3 is what I have..and I like to use a manual...I was thinking 5.38s well cause there low gears and I figured being that low it would make up the other 2 cylinders..Whats a good gear choice..Already have the 4.3 and 4 speed..Im not worried about the body or frame that's the fun part..
