Wow, I'm totally baffled as to why I've never replied to this thread, I've watched it for a long time. All I can say is that I'm seriously impressed with all the work you've done Greg (I think it's Greg??). My tiny bit of floor rust doesn't mean squat compared to what you had to work with, truly inspirational

Is that what Manitoba winters does to a vehicle ( salt from the roads ) I give you alot of credit I wouldn't have taken that on. My truck had very little rust on it when I got it (it came from Edmonton) keep up the good work.

Amazing, incredible work. You can do almost anything with determination like that GEE EMM! You're down right stubborn and refuse to give in to the Rust Demons! Reminds me of a phrase in a board members signature..."If it casts a shadow, it can be restored."

The work you have done so far is nothing short of amazing. I'm from Buffalo, NY and I know what the 67-72 trucks look like up there. I gave up on a 72 Chevy 1 ton farm truck. She was too far gone for me

I haven't really done much to show on it lately, I am having troubles finding some decent patch panels for the bed so I am pretty much stuck. I have been working on little things like the steering column, etc. Rebuiling and repainting them and boxing them up so they are ready to plug in once the body is painted.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Nothing short of Amazing GEE (obviosly i'm a little slow in discovering this thread....but i have a question...) You used a truck cab, cut the back off it - (then shaped the rear part of the floor to that of a blazer floor???) Also - Rocker Boxes - I don't know much about blazers so forgive me guys for asking....from the pics it looks like the rocker boxes are something that is "in addition" to the floor...they appear to be spot welded to the floor and not a "replacement of the floor". do you have any pics of the rocker box installation? i'm curious to see how the different parts fit together. using the truck cab and modifying it to accept the w/s and rear 1/2 of the Jimmy is simply amazing inspiring

This is what the rocker boxes look like underneath a Blazer, this is a spare body I picked up a little bit too late. At thats point I had already hacked up a pick up cab. The rocker boxes are welded on top the exsisting cab crossmembers and rocker backing plates with 1" beads. The metal the rocker boxes are made of is plate, not sheet metal.
For the back of the cab floor I cut off the cab corners and stuff then clamped a long piece of angle iron to the metal and formed the floor up using the angle iron as a guide. This is by far the hardest part of the whole coversion from pickup to Jimmy. I am actually surprised that it turned out as well as it did because I had to totally reverse the bend of the floor there. I hope to add some updates to this thread in the next couple days. Last edited by Gee_Emm; 03-02-2005 at 10:52 PM. |
