Thanks man!! I've always loved my old Internationals, but have a lingering loyalty to my old 75 GMC. It just happens that you get attached when it was your first vehicle ever. I hated driving it back then, but can definitely appreciate it now.

Lol. Well, they look a lot nicer than they are. They're Internationals... the prices for parts sure adds up and it takes forever to find some of them that aren't in crap condition. The red one isn't finished, either. I don't actually have any official build threads, but I have kept track of the entire build on the red one. About 50 pictures worth. Complete tear down and rebuild, including the 3.3 liter Nissan diesel engine in it. Don't hear of a Scout with THAT engine everyday.

It is, and it is so long cause on a Blazer its top is way in front of the front of the rear fender well. Being on the Suburban because of the rear door, it has to sit way far back. Unless someone wants to shorten the top, which might not look all so good. Hope that makes sense.

No, but they do sell them for Suburbans.

Davidmichael · 11-13-2010, 11:43 PM

They are extremely expensive though.

motornut · 11-14-2010, 10:11 AM

cool hadn't seen many of those done,but i did see a scout yesterday

Da88burban · 11-14-2010, 11:27 AM

Man i wish i could do that to my 2WD and slam it. That would be bad as hell!!

cvalcore · 11-15-2010, 12:35 AM

could you post some pics of the in side panels so i can see how they came together

Mkcustums · 11-16-2010, 06:06 PM

Here is another one, but he included more of the Blazer's roof.

If you are asking me, I looked but can't find them. If I do find em I'll post them up for sure. The outside seam is good, the inside isn't even close to matching from what I remember.

For a comparison, there is a huge difference when you put a Suburban top on a blazer, looks a little more like it should. I do like both though!

joe231 · 11-17-2010, 10:53 AM

The pic of the camo one looks like it's the same length as the stock burb.

I was told it's just a couple inches. The first few that I saw done were about 6-8 inches longer than they are doing them now. Plus the camo one used part the roof of the Blazer, maybe that helped. Would be nice if someone who has done one chimed in. I sure never have....
