Here is a link to a video I watched when I did my Camaro. Same for the G-body.
Only thing you have to do is clearance the steering shaft so the bolt can get by. The original shaft goes right thru the steering column piece. Take a look, easy.

Hey dude, I'm in Holland Landing L9N 1L2. I'm interested in one of these.
On another note, my local yards seem to be lacking any 2wd Blazers or Jimmy's..... I'm also looking for the front spindle/brake upgrade if you run across any.

The 2wd '98-'05 Blazers & Jimmys are pretty much non-existant in Ontario. If you want the parts for this swap, you're probably going to get them shipped from the States. There is an ad in the parts section of the site, with someone who has these parts for sale.

Yes, very hard to find. I stumbled on mine last year & bought them. Problem with the States is the shipping back. Those things are pretty heavy with the spindles, hubs, rotors & calipers

Probably the thing to do when shipping them from the US to Canada is to just ship the spindles, dust shields (if they are nice) and the bolts that attach the hubs to the spindles. Everything else is readily available online or at the Auto Parts store.
