ive never heard of one im betting thats either foreign or custom

knightowl73 · 01-21-2011, 11:16 AM

whatever it isits nice. wish these were plentiful when i was 14.dad made the the deal i could get whatever i wanted, but i couldnt decide between a blazer or burb. i chose the blazer after drving my grandpa's burb for the first time. i didnt want somethin that big, but needed the seating cus hell, i had friends.
i woulda definately been lookin forone of those!

I like that a lot. Looks to be right arould the same length as a longbed. That's be nice, and you could park it too (well if you back in like I do in my longbed...)

scooterskoolkustoms · 01-21-2011, 11:27 AM

WOW thats cool check out the back door.

bigblock73 · 01-21-2011, 11:29 AM

Looks nice, need another 4-6" in front of the rear wheel and a better side window treatment to make it look as if GM built it. Rear side doors were notched too much IMO.

its just a 4 door blazer....

hmm thats interesting there. it does seem to only be as long as a blazer, and they downsized the body appropriately to fit... unless it was a shortbed frame they used?

Is it real or is it a photoshop deal?

knightowl73 · 01-21-2011, 01:53 PM

thats a real pic, no evidence of a photochop, i blew it up plenty big on the computer. think it cant be on a blazer frame for sure, wb is just too short and the fenderwell would be way further into the rear door. looking at my truck thru the window, i think they cut down the burb body to fit on a 4wd shortbed frame

boy would i love to try this just to be different, id keep mine 73-79 body too, just change the color combo to somethin rare too, like that russet brown with the buckskin tan in the middle, and 2wd. lowered slightly with 8 and 10-inch tan corvette rallies with the truck dogdish hubcaps still, really make you think, damn its rare. oh yeah, cant forget 4 factory buckets and 2 consoles!

Hmmmm, Looks like a Suburban to me......The Tahoe badge I believe started in about 1992. Looks real clean and un-molested though......

I totally agree
that rear quarter window just looks wrong

mooseknuckles · 01-21-2011, 02:17 PM

I agree with joe...still pretty cool tho..

Hulk Will Smash · 01-21-2011, 02:48 PM

Seems like the rear door openings/frames over the wheels and the rear door shells would be a nightmare to make. You guys think they used Tahoe stuff to recontour the door frame and door shell? I'd love to see a picture of it with the back door open.

The first Tahoe was 1995.

Thats a photoshop.
Look through the truck at the drivers side rear windows . The length of the rear side window gives it away .

^^^^Winner!

Beat me to it.....the paint isn't quite right on the pass side either.

Walts_restoration · 01-21-2011, 03:42 PM
