Fun new project in my shop....... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

New because I've found some time to get to this project. A 2wd blazer made from a blazer tub and a truck frame. I will replace the entire firewall and windshield frame.
There is plenty of dents and rust to repair so it should be fun.

I am going to use the new complete cab floor from goodmark. A little pricey but I'll give a report on the quality when I get one to my place.

Is this going to be your next vid? I bet it turns out sweet when you get it done,i will keep up with the build.

Boss, I have a lot of raw footage of blazer repairs I've made and I am filming this one as well. If I make DVD's, They will be very reasonably priced and I may provide a way to download parts for free (thanks to the success of the cab repair DVD's)

What all is involved in mounting the tub on the truck frame?

ebfabman · 06-17-2006, 08:32 PM

First the truck frame has to be cut down to 104 inch wheel base. Then you'll need the cushion brackets from a blazer frame or you will need to fab some. Not really that involved.

thats funny, i bot a blazer frame with a truck body!

ebfabman · 06-17-2006, 10:18 PM

That's one of the things that makes these trucks popular, lots of possibilities. You must have a shorty truck. Wonder if anyone has made a long blazer...

eb I am sure it will turn out great.....

Earl, "...Wonder if anyone has made a long Blazer?" I have a Longhorn frame...now there is an original thought! Someone is already doing a Longhorn 4x4...so how about a Blazehorn dually?

I can't wait to see what great things you are going to do with this project!!!!!!!!

A suburban convertible.

Back to the subject at hand, I'm interested to see how it comes out.
