    Has anyone ever mounted a 1947-1954 pickup on a K5 blazer frame? Was it difficult?

    Yes.
    No more so than most frame swaps.
    Blazer wheel base is shorter so bed was shortened by moving front panel back--kept wheels in center of fender opening.

    Like The Man Said

    Although I think it's hideous and would only ride in the back with a bag over my face , :rolleyes: someone put a huge amount of time and effort into it .

    As we say in The Auto Trade " There's An A$$ For Every Seat " .

    Tha being said , pink is hands down , the hardest color to sell .
