K5 blazer with barn doors.

[Chevy623]

I was going to just post this in the 2wd post but i figured this would draw more attention to it lol.

I think this is really cool. I've seen it a thousand times from the front, and never cared for it much, [because of the hood/fender mods]. but i do like the rear now that i have seen it.

everyone elses thoughts?

I am on the fence on this one. I really do like it but then I keep thinking about the front end. I think it would be killer with some sliding side windows though.

What does the front look like?

I love it I have been thinking of this for a long time and now I get to see some one doing it.I don't think it was a blazer looks like a c10 with a burb back end.would like to see more pic's of it.

[Chevy623]

I have an old pic of it on my Ipod, but the same pic is no longer on my computer..

In the pic it's parked on the track at some nascar looking speedway and it still has the Blazer top on it.

Ah, i have a solution..

Own 2 blazers, 1 stock, and 1 with barn doors. lol.

Hills blazer is the same way, I like it but I would not do it to mine..

[scooterskoolkustoms]

Hills has a sweeeet blazer.I dont like the hood on the first one.

[dropd80s]

I have allways thought the first one posted looks like its too long behind the wheel wells. Could just be that its not all one color but IDK. The front end is out of the question. Hills is dead on and looks awesome i think.

[Chevy623]

I just noticed on the Blazer with barn doors, the roof is cut out of the suburban rear. I wonder if he's going to weld in some metal to make it flat or if he's gonna stick some glass in there for a panoramic view or something.

[Davidmichael]

The whole barn doors keeps growing on me. I know I would try it if I had cash lying around.

A full rag top is probably going in the roof for an open convertible feel.

That would be cool too.

[63chevyll]

i like it but the photo makes it look like i needs a chop

[scooterskoolkustoms]

where did the pic's come from? I would like to see more of this truck.

[bigblock73]

The back of that thing is waaay too long, looks terrible IMO. Hills did a MUCH better job on theirs!

[Manbearpig]

Me like!

Though I like tailgates better

I found them on someone's myspace profile, went back just now and i must have skipped a page because i found more pics of it, and also a pic of Hill's when it was Blue.
[Myspace.com/assdraginburban]

He has 20 pages of squares in a folder in his pictures and i found them in there. Actually, alot of familiar squares were in there. He had a pic of Justpball's Burb when it was green, Travis' Blazer is also in there.

It looks like Hills trimed some fat off the back of the cab, or off the front of the suburban piece. The distance between the door and the rear window looks smaller than the one on the black one, where it looks like they just welded it as is, to where the topper bolts in.

I may be wrong though..

[BGRAFX]

I really like the blue version, also like how the front bumper is move into the fender. But Hills has a tailgate not barn doors.

[Bishops Trucks]

Dare to be differant!

But it was still a 'burb graft onto the Blazer..looks soo much cleaner and well thought out.

One of the things I've always liked about the K5's is the extremely short wheelbase (my 79 has a shorter wheelbase than a 79 Z28) and the relatively short overall length.

The Blazer with the Sub tailgate and rear windows looks like it kept the overall length to original specs - or very close. The Blazer with barn doors added rear overhang - not to my tastes, but they did make plenty of them for us to mod as we wish.
