I agree

You started with 2 pics and now you can't just leave it at that

We'll hound you until you start a build thread

This seems more Tahoe-esque than Blazer style; because of the not-removable roof. That said; this is an awesome build.

Would love to see some type of removable top. I agree that without a removable top, it's more Tahoe-ish. Not necessarily a bad thing though! We need updates on this!!!!

I believe those are the only pictures he has of the cut down GMC suburban! He answered a craigslist ad I had saying he would sell or trade it. I asked for more pics and details on it and he had none others to share! Cool looking project though! I hope to see more on it.

Sorry to take so long to write. I lost my prime work space last November. I had to move the blazer out and find other accommodations. Since then I also bought a house and got engaged. Not much time for the blazer at the moment. When the house stuff slows a bit I’ll get back after it. Thanks for all your kind words.

Here are a couple shots of the move and as she sat before she was put in storage.

Good to see you back. Show us the Blazer's new home (garage) when you get time.

Such nice work!!!

Frizzle Fry · 02-14-2012, 06:45 PM

Since there's so much interest in this build (for good reason), I have a question for all the Tahoe/Blazer fans:

Which of the following do YOU like best?

SBTork · 02-14-2012, 07:37 PM

1 and 3 get my vote, in that order. (Im a burb guy)

steverino66 · 02-14-2012, 07:38 PM

Frizzlefry - IMO, 1 has by bar the best visual balance with a little more truck behind the back wheel

#3

**chevy_man5** · 02-14-2012, 09:29 PM

#3 for me. #4 is a close second though.

badpeanut · 02-14-2012, 10:07 PM

#3

**Palf70Step** · 02-14-2012, 10:50 PM

3 or 1

**Captainfab** · 02-15-2012, 02:12 AM
