Looks like a longbed shorten to shortbed length on the front half only.

Dumpster Art!
Either they cut too much out of the wheelbase or put it on a blazer frame but that looks like a trazer length wheelbase with a longbed bobbed only at the front

I agree guys....that is totally screwed up no matter how they did it. Looks like too much beer played a role on this truck.

I actually had one like that. I picked one up real cheap that I knew was shortened and I always thought something looked funny.

A guy down the street had a short bed and I measured his truck bed and it was an inch longer.

I'll see if I can dig up some pics in a minute.

I saw one out here where they did the opposite...just bobbed the back end; it looked way out of proportion with the LWB frame length unchanged. This one looks better IMO because they shortened the wheelbase and just left the back as-is.

Here is the only picture I have that shows the side at all. I know my wifes camera had some. I'll see if she can find them tomorrow. I was going to restore this truck until I realized it was shortened an inch too much. For the best though, I have a better truck now.

No,and the Trazer comment was dead-on. Looks like someone wasted a rare 2wd Blazer frame on trying to make a SWB truck. The frame is more desirable than that whole truck. They should part it out.

On second thought...it sure would be cool to build an A/Altered drag truck with it!!! :metal:
