Re: I need help on this

Sounds like it could be a blazer frame with a truck body and the bed was cut down to fit... But yea, pics would help us solve your question...

Re: I need help on this

If its way shorter than a longbed,and still shorter than a regular shortbed,then I agree with John Fabris...its sounds like a shortened truck body on a blazer frame.There was a shortbed 4wd.Quite common for the 72 year actually as compared to the 67-71 swb 4wds.What's the wheelbase? It could just be a shortbed 4wd.

Re: I need help on this

no such thing as far as GM built.
Do you have any photos?
Do you know the wheel base?
Inside bed length?
