Blazer Body on a truck frame
can a blazer body be mounted on a truck frame?

I know the floor is diffrent and the frame is longer but how bad would it be?

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

Re: Blazer Body on a truck frame
I think the front mounts are the same.. and up to the doors... after that the rear mounts are different...

Re: Blazer Body on a truck frame

Re: Blazer Body on a truck frame
Why not just fix the Blazer? Convertible trucks are cool.
