Default Shortening my wheel base

Hey, my buddy recently got me into the hobby and I have a K5 Blazer and I really like it, however it's a little big for most obstacles so I wanted to put a new bright Silverado body on it but I'm not sure where to start... Any tips?

Pics of the two side by side with accurate wheelbase measurements would help us to help you.

You have the right truck for the job. You can shorten its length easily. A smaller body and smaller bumpers will keep you from getting hung as I imagine you are now.
