Pics: Converted Blazer to pickup
Spotted this at the local Wal-mart. Thought I would share. Looks to be a converted Blazer. Not to bad, paint/body work could have been better.

The rear upper trim looks about an inch short. Truck looks decent though, sure could have been worse.

I think it's cool. Reminds me of the earlier land rovers.

Wow. (Awkward moment of silence as I stare at the ground, unable to look the owner in the eye when he asks me what I think about his Trazer)
I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you want a truck, go get yourself a truck. If you want a Blazer, go get yourself a Blazer. No need to go against nature and butcher something.

i like the shortness, it's kinda has a jeep look to it. it sure would look silly if it was 2wd though.

Oh, I wouldn't say silly... the half cabs look much the same and I wouldn't turn down either one of these 2wd's, Rg

i think those look goofy in 2wd, but that's only my opinion... i would definitely put one in my garage though.

I think the 2 posted by raggedjim have the removable cab option, I say that because the lip around the windows seems wider than a truck. The one posted by Zumo is definitely a conversion; I just don't know why people do the permanent conversion.
 But they can do what ever they want to their trucks.Saulgoode Last edited by saulgoode; 06-16-2005 at 05:52 PM. |

The orange one is slammed via photoshop.
The beauty of a blazer is the top comes off, full or half top.

You never know what it started as... he might have saved it from the grave. (of course, some would prefer death with dignity) Maybe the windshield frame was too far gone on a trashed blazer and all but the roof of a pickup… It could happen... OK well maybe not. Kind'a Frankensteinian. I know of one in my area that looks really sweet... ’67 front clip, but it's not a two tone. I think the extra trim sort of fouls up the look in this case.

Its is one of the better ones I have seen but the trim just don't look right but I would still take it .... And then I would cut the top back off..

I ran into this converted Trazer several years ago in the Smokies. It looked to me to have been a shortbed pickup put on a Blazer frame as it still had the rear part of the cab below the rear window behind the front seats. I wish I had taken some interior shots. I kinda like the Trazer in the first post. I wouldn't have done a Blazer that way but it looks kind of neat just the same.

Are you sure it wasn't the bulk head for a half top?

this is the third time the black off-roader has been listed. It looks like it would be a lot of fun!

I think Zumo is pulling our leg.That`s a photoshop,nice job btw.It is right?No?Oh,well I like it anyway.I never here anybody b...itchin`bout the Suburbans gettin`all chopped-up to make crew cabs.I always wanted to do a Trazer(why not Bluck or Blickup?)for snow-plowing back in the day,short`n`nimble,great heat`n`defrost,and if you mount a spreader the whole thing with plow would fit in a parking spot.
