We are going to install a Porterbuilt crossmember, Lay it out all the way on the rockers. Cut down the doors even with the bed rails and cap them off. Cut down the windshield a few inches and lay it back to make it a roadster. Shave the side markers in the rear. Shave the fuel filler and install a LS2.

Re: Our new Blazer

It's a conversion, right?

Did you see the truck where they raised the bedrails to match the doors? It looked really nice and not quite as obvious what was done.

Re: Our new Blazer

Was it a 4wd converted to 2wd, or is a factory 2wd?

Re: Our new Blazer

Sounds like some awesome plans. I really wish the factory would have went the extra mile and made the bedsides the same height - that is the only thing I don't like about the K5's. Keep us posted on your project!

Looks to be a good start with great plans. If you have not been told yet Pic's are a must every step of the way or we have the right to complain, wine and act in general like a Honda owner!

Sounds like a plan! Any inspiration from the Fessler K5? Looking forward to the unfolding saga.
