for a front 60 your going to have to find a 1-ton, though the axles won't be locked and likely will need a gear swap for 37's.
I'm guessing you got one of the last fullsize solid axle blazers? If not it will be far from bolt in

if its solid already, get a 10 bolt, 44 or 60 if you arent beating it to death. easiest thing is to find a cucv and grab all the pieces

CUCV pickup has 4.56's, 60 front and 14 rear (with a detroit), I have heard some ambulances had a front detroit or posi as well, someone else will have to chime in here

well, is it the last of the fullsize blazers or the smaller one. That makes a difference in the ease of the install.

Won't work with what he's got. Ford = drivers side drop, Chevy was Pass drop 73-87 (73-91 for Subs and Blazers). Grab a D60 and FF 14 Bolt from a 1 ton Chevy or CUCV military truck if you can find one. They will bolt in pretty easily, you may or may not need driveshaft mods, depending on your lift. If the driveshafts are the correct length, there are conversion U joints if your driveshafts don't match the 1 ton yokes on the diff.
