I am planning to order a Blazer floor but you said to get a 2wd. I have a c10 Panel with a big block and 4 on the floor shifter so I was told I needed a hi hump Blazer floor. Sound right? I'm planning to get it from GMCPaul. I would also leave the lip as is. If you could get a pic of that extra step-up, that would be greatly appreciated! No hurry. From what I can see, it doesn't look too hard to fab up a new one out of a piece of heavy gauge steel.

You are correct, you will need tall hump blazer floor if running the 4 speed. I am running a car 4 speed so it was not needed. GMC Pauls is where I got mine and they were great to deal with. I checked the Suburban support this morning after I found it and it is totally different than the panel cross member. it is way shorter where it is further back on the frame.

Most women like the strong, silent type… Fortunately for me, my wife prefers the out-of-shape, mouthy type.
