Smile Newbie question

Hey everybody I've been pokin around the site for some time and finally decided to register.

Have a question I'm hoping I'm postin in the right area so correct me if I'm wrong.

Been a Toyota fan for a long time I have 3 yotas
85 4runner on 36 swampers
84 xtra cab on 32s
92 stock

I just got ahold of a 84 Chevy s10 blazer and its my new project for the family just a medium wheeling/expedition rig. I have a 4.3 on propane, 700r4 and 208 tcase from a 77 Chevy full size. I want to run Yota axles because I'm very familiar with them and confident they will fit my needs (they serve me well under my 4runner). The plan is only for 35" tires and I have a solid plan on everything else I just want to see if anyone knows or has info (pics out be awesome) of somebody that's done the toyotas under a blazer. My main thing is how to do the front hangers and shackles. Any info (pics too) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

700r4

Stock s10 springs in the rear

I don't think Toyota axles will be long enough for a full size blazer.

You will probably need a dana 60 or somethings similar.

I bet a tape measure will answer your question...
