Another that's kinda similar to the other one. K5 Blazer, suburban roof grafted on. Z'd frame, bagged, 2 link rear, 24" Radd RD2s, 350/TH350. Something was weird about the rear gate if I remember correctly, I don't have any pics of it though. (not a Tahoe, but they did make 2 door 'Hoes for a while)

That looks so sick I wish I took pics of the one I seen that was a hard top removable, heavy but removable

What year was it? '73-'80 or '81+? I'll see if I can maybe find it. Of course it could be re-clipped either way too... hard to tell anymore.

It was re-clipped but the guy said it was a 1980 and his buddy had a 89 with a 64 front clip on it it was just as sick body droped

Here is two more of the '77, but there is never any decent ones from the back that I can find.

No, unfortunately that's it. Well, so far.... I'm sure there is more out there somewhere. Maybe someone on here has some and can add em.

I could be wrong but I think bagged74 owned that for a little bit.

That bob'ed burb looks sweet

I just met this guy, 76blazer he got it for $200 and the PO took off the blazer top and caulked wood in the space.

Yeah I had that one for a while. The rear gate/hatch are was a mess, that was the main reason that i sold it. they use a burb roof from a truck with barn doors, and the taligate on the bottom didnt jive with the way the top was made to fit the doors. I dont really have any good pictures of it though

[Dieselwrencher]

Cool thread guys!

[babyJay]

That's going to be one sweet ride when finished!

@BGRAFX, I'm sorry but I don't think I would have given $200 for that pic in post #36. I had to when I saw that. Hopefully he can get it straighted up the right way. Gotta be one of the funnies P.O. stories I ever heard.

Love this! makes me want to go find a jimmy and Burban!

Has any one ever grafted a Burban rear section(after the rear doors) on to a Truck bed making a permanent topper? Could be interesting.

I remember when you bought the yellow one, I felt bad about how that ended up for you. Then I saw pictures of your new red one, didn't realize it was yours til later. I saw the wheels (ones off the yellow one) and it made me wonder if there was a connection, come to find out I was right. Looks like it's coming along really good though!

[jumbo]

not really, i picked it up last thursday night with no windshield, fatmat, carpet, seats not in, front end not in, didn't run, etc, etc. the suspension's done pretty well, everything else looks like hammered dog ass.

[jbjburbs]
