Re: 2wd swap
Nothin' to it but to do it. I would agree he's getting it done.

Re: 2wd swap
I had to do spacers on my old '68 when I did my first x-member so there's that option. What about tweaking the flanges slightly? Could that help?
On that set-up, the notched x-member & MM towers used were from a Square & placed between the 68's rails. I used some aftermarket tubular MM towers & made spacers to make up the difference. Unfortunately, I never checked the fit of the stock Squarebody x-member/MM towers before I started the mods.

Re: 2wd swap
We didn't check them either.
Those brackets where laying on the floor of the blazer when we got it. If I vice gripped the top to the flange and pulled the bottom down with a C clamp it would come. But nothing lined up. We where mocking up the fit after bolting the crossmember down.
