K/5 Tahoe build thread - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

OK - I'm officially starting my build thread. I recently picked up a 71 Blazer and have plans to put the body on the frame of my '99 Tahoe. I don't plan on starting the work until next month, but I read thru a bunch of build threads over lunch today and am getting the itch to start!

Step 1 is to put a '71 front clip on it

Step 2 is new rockers and bed rails

Step 3 is parting out the Tahoe and shortening the frame

Step 4 - body swap

Step 5 - paint

Sounds easy enough, right?

Here are the 'before' pics:
