**Boog** · 07-23-2008, 09:26 PM

It's somewhat of an abbreviated version you've got goin on there. Is it on a Blazer frame or what? Tell us about it. And welcome aboard.

Longhorn Man · 07-23-2008, 11:25 PM

d10s69c10 · 07-23-2008, 11:33 PM

Welcome to the Board.
I Love The Murdered out look.

This Is a Good Site, no question seems to go un answerd.

Longhorn Man · 07-23-2008, 11:38 PM

You willing to post the first 1/2 of the VIN off that thing?
I'm wondering what they used for the VIN... frame, cab, or made up....
It has a 76 front end, fenders/hood/grill, then the fenders on the bed at a minimum are 67 also.... I'm wondering if it is a 70 cab, or a 67 cab... or what.

Bus Ted Knuckle · 07-23-2008, 11:44 PM

I like it! It does look like a blazer frame, but it still looks great!

Chevyman680063 · 07-24-2008, 12:27 AM

Just wondering how you shortened the bed 10 inches w/out shortening the frame?

It's a cool truck man. Looks like you've done a lot of work to it! Got any pics of the interior?

thirdstreettito · 07-25-2008, 04:52 AM

Nice Truck! Paint the cab white and it'll look like a cop car.

70LonghornCST · 07-25-2008, 05:09 AM

Looking good! Welcome!!!

**special-K** · 07-25-2008, 08:03 AM

HEY,WELCOME from MARYLAND!!!

Nice stubby little black truck.You may not "think" the frame is shortened,but it definately is.How else would the tire still be in the wheel well.Think about it...
If you see absolutlely no splicing going on at all then it must be a Blazer frame.Length looks about right.Alot can happen to these trucks before we get our hands on them.

67shortie · 07-25-2008, 10:14 AM

Welcome from central CA

And everyone is right, that bed/frame has been shortened but it looks great!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 07-25-2008, 12:09 PM

Hi Ray,

Welcome to the board! There is a wealth of knowledge here for the taking!

Also, I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, but I agree with the others. If the frame wasn't cut down, it's got to be a blazer frame. If I shortend my step-side bed, I'd have 10 inches of "gap" between the cab and the bed so the fenders would be over the wheels and there isn't any room to move the fenders back either.

I guess a fast way to tell is if someone would post the wheel base of a shortbed and a blazer so you can measure.

However, great looking truck! There is another "super shorty" that is black on here too, I can't find the link however.

I found the link... check it out, your trucks twin!

**Boog** · 07-25-2008, 08:37 PM

That would most likely be 2bits truck you are referring to. He has since put it back to stock wheel base.

rayny1014 · 07-27-2008, 12:19 PM

update from this weekend. lowered 1 inch more up front. added the cpp tubular upper and lower control arms. new valve covers and air cleaner. and trim rings for the wheels. its getting there slowly but surely.

**Hart_Rod** · 08-19-2008, 08:32 AM

Cool truck! What's the verdict on the frame? Shortened or Blazer?
