Re: 2wd on craigslist - oregon

I know it jacks with the top fitting, but it is hard to see that it is chopped in the picts. I think it looks great, I would not chop a top on a truck, but the lower windshield looks good on this'n.

Re: 2wd on craigslist - oregon

It looks good, but not practical in the northwest. Since your in AZ, you should go for it!

Re: 2wd on craigslist - oregon

why chop the windshield down and not cut the doors down to match the bedsides?

Re: 2wd on craigslist - oregon

Maybe that was an easy way out of replacing a rusty windsheild frame.. Looks to be a nice ride though and it could share my garage space but it would be inside more than it would be out side here in oregon.

Re: 2wd on craigslist - oregon

I'm kinda partial to the chopped blazers.... seeing as I had one. I called it the black pancake cause coming down the road it was WIDE, LOW, AND BLACK.

Re: 2wd on craigslist - oregon

Carter, yours was in a different league than this one. This rig can only dream about being as nice as the "black pancake".

Re: 2wd on craigslist - oregon

Man that black Blazer was fun, but was it ever NOT what you thought it was. Totally stock under the hood, even had the 2barrel carb still on the small block. If two people rode in it, it would bottom out the a-arms all the time. But it was fun. The plates said "No Rain". I will do another one sometime down the road.
