Re: ok need help
The blazer seems to be the easiest to build unless it is a 4x4 and you want it to be a
2-wd, in that case I would take the burb into Taho project, but wouldn't that be kinda like a blazer, so go for the 4 door it will take you the longest and be the most difficult to build. or, or, or, .......... well I might not be the best one to respond to this question since I have 4 projects going on right now , mabye I need a New Years resalution too? ok, here goes ... BLAZER! thats my final answer. Well after sleeping on it I would build the 65 too. thats my final ,final answer!

Re: ok need help
ok then leme give a little more info. I am a paint and body/ fab guy I have the tools to do just about anything. the blazer is my daily driver when I do that I am goin to do a full frame off. I have a sub that needs alot of work anyway. Now for the the 65. It was my firts truck/car and I have always wanted an extended cab. I have all the parts collected for it ie 2 cabs 6 doors a couple of frames extra hoods and a short bed.. the 65 was a driver too. I already have the small block build on a stand. and a 72 gmc parts truck.

Re: ok need help
Since you daily the blazer, I would do the 65 first, make it the "new" daily and then do the blazer and finally the 'burb. That's my $.02 worth.

Re: ok need help
65, get your first truck the way you want it. Since it was your first truck you will enjoy having it complete more then the other two.
