Does this truck look odd or is it just me???

LONGHAIR · 04-20-2013, 08:19 PM

Trazer?

PanelDeland · 04-20-2013, 08:20 PM

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

jjhare · 04-20-2013, 08:21 PM

Looks like a lwb-swb conversion gone wrong...

Vova · 04-20-2013, 08:34 PM

I kind of like it.

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

buckskins4ever · 04-20-2013, 09:37 PM

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.

Sklptrljay · 04-20-2013, 09:50 PM

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.

ole dollor · 04-20-2013, 10:15 PM

red neck frame , gota love a true red neck..lol

**leddzepp** · 04-20-2013, 10:25 PM

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.

Dumb Q but are the blazer and SWB frames the same (length)

brad_man_72 · 04-21-2013, 01:11 AM

Blazer is shorter than a swb

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!!!

SLOW POKE · 04-21-2013, 07:45 AM

It's a shorthorn!!

cst69 · 04-21-2013, 09:42 AM

Just imagine for a moment...straight front axle, fenderwell headers, steelies w/ wide white old school drag tires...altered bad azz.

what a difference 11" make....

Sklptrljay · 04-21-2013, 02:33 AM

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.
