Re: 72 Jimmy on 93 Burb frame
I like the idea, but would have likes to see a 95-99 dash instead, as Ithink it would flow better. Plus a 96+ Vortec and a 98-99 trans would help too.

Re: 72 Jimmy on 93 Burb frame
Looks like somebody did decent work, not a hack job like I was expecting to see. I bet it is fun driving that around with the comfort of new suspension. I agree about the 95+ dash.

Re: 72 Jimmy on 93 Burb frame
I thought it was interesting because several board members have talked about putting a Blazer tub on a more modern chassis. I don't know the difference between the dash or chassis it is on and a 95+, but it looks like they spent some time on the conversion.

On the bottom is the 95-98 Dash (this is actually a 95 only due to the lack of passenger airbag). We were just commenting on the fact that the 95+ style would flow a little better with the rounded body lines of the 72. Either way, I agree with you they did a great job of putting it all together. I would LOVE to crawl around this thing and see how old and new was "married".

Re: 72 Jimmy on 93 Burb frame
Looks interesting, but good luck on rolling the windows up or down! Appears a tad tight in the area.
