What rear driveshaft will work for a Blazer?

Could I steal one from another 67-72, or are Blazers a different length. Or if anyone has one lying around they would be willing to part with?!! Thanks!

I would have to say even though many parts from pickups to Blazers are interchangeable I will say the drive shaft won't fit only due to the fact its not the right length. U- joints are the same if its a 1/2 ton but that's it.

Two and four wheel drives are different length. Most early Blazers up til 77-78 will be close to Same length and a 1310 u joint. Or you can have one built for a couple hundred. In a pinch you could take one from a pickup and cut it down and use it. Better to have a professional do that as well though.

If you have a local shop near you that builds custom drive lines check them out, they're are usually reasonable to have a new one built.
