Blazurb... Or Blazer-burban... Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**67 cst swb** · 10-26-2006, 06:44 PM

Has anyone ever made a Blazer out of a Surburban, So that it's a 2 Door blazer wheelbased Suburban,.... you know so that there is no removable top? How would that look?
Maybe I'll go to Photoshop and ask the wizards to do one.

**69TowRig** · 10-26-2006, 06:54 PM

Basically you want a hard-top Blazer? Cool, but why not just paint the top body-color? I guess if you want better-sealing side doors or rear barn-doors it would be cool.

Not mine, but I found this pic on the web a few years ago...

**67 cst swb** · 10-26-2006, 07:01 PM

Not as cool as I pictured in my mind, But still cool... I guess I didn't think about the rear window up by the door... Hmmmmmm...

EXACTLY the one I was thinking about, thanks Chuck.
Printed it but never 'saved' it. Will now.

I've always thought that one was worth doing. (I'd own it for sure)
Unfortunetly, that's where my burb is shot...in the rear.

**Boog** · 10-26-2006, 09:32 PM

Chuck that's the one that always comes to my mind too. Cut about 3 inches out of the top and I'd drive it. Who am I kidding? I'd drive it just the way it is!

I've seen that truck, it is killer. When my ship comes in that might be first rod I would build. Thanks for reminding me of my older dreams! Its billed as a 69-72 Tahoe!!

bagged74 · 10-26-2006, 11:51 PM

The orange one makes it's way up and down the West coast. I saw it last year at the Portland Swap Meet

krue · 10-27-2006, 03:54 AM

I'd like to see that second one painted.

Yeah Brad would too. I haven't talked with him in a while. Last time we talked his project got put on hold for some other high profile projects. I'm not sure what they have done recently...

67ChevyRedneck · 10-27-2006, 10:30 AM

GM makes them now, they are called Tahoes

I really like the idea of one, that orange one looks awesome!

**Yukon Jack** · 10-27-2006, 04:38 PM

That orange one is oddly likeable. Very interesting.

obsesive23 · 10-27-2006, 10:03 PM

Here's a pic of a tahoe version,

Brad · 10-27-2006, 10:32 PM

Wow! That's sweeeeeet!

corn · 10-28-2006, 12:47 AM

Those are NICE! Thats a cool idea. Thanks for posting those...

68shortfleet · 10-28-2006, 01:30 AM

Wow, that red one is exactly what i wanted to build about ten years ago, out of the 72 suburban that i should not have sold. Think 1972 chevy 3 door tahoe.

Later

The red one looks sweet! Too bad it's a photoshop version and not the real deal. Notice that there is only a small portion of the passenger rear tire remaining. I probably wouldn't have noticed it but I was the one that linked that pic to this site when it was on www.killboy.com (deals gap) as a Suburban.
