Hellion Customs 1964 Blazer

[Hellion Customs]

Well like most of us, I too have a little bit of ADD when it comes to projects, so it looks like I will be building 2 "shop trucks" simultaneously. So bare with me these will be sorta slow but steady builds.

This one is a 1964 Chevy panel truck. Some time in its life someone thought it would be a good idea to cut Suburban like window holes in the sides. So I figure since I got this truck for free and other than the large holes in the sides and a damaged quarter the truck is in decent shape ( for being from FL) I might as well have some fun with it and build a Blazer.

So the plan as of now will be a shortened body with a little out between the doors and rear wheels & a little behind the rear wheels (much like some of the 67-72 "Tahoe" builds), full Porterbuilt suspension, fully boxed chassis with custom crossmembers, 6.0L or 6.2L & 6L80E or 6L90E combo, 24" 22" wheels, custom sheetmetal firewall and floor, modded hood and opening, custom one-off grill, full metal fiberglass & composites interior, roll down a little bit quarter windows, modded liftgate, modded tailgate with roll down glass (like the 70's k5), full width taillight, flush third brake light, smoothed and tucked bumpers
ECT....

Rendering and pics up soon.

Ok, I gotta see. Using 72 Blazer WB as a guide?

I am really looking forward to seeing if you can effect the single side panel glass like in your rendering.
That will be awesome in itself !!

I am thinking the wheelbase should end up at around 108 or so after moving fronts forward.

Yea that's probably the most difficult "engineering" part of this build. It is kinda pointless really since they will probably only roll down 2-3 inches because of the raised location of the rear wheelhouse. I'm actually still working on figuring it out. I built a "jig" out of wood, window felts, & some aluminum to simulate the glass. I can't put the power motor directly in the center because of the wheelhouse. As of now I'm trying to do it with a "arm style" motor but with the length of the "glass" and the leverage it is creating from being offset it is not cooperating with me. I really think I am going to try a "worm gear?" style motor soon. I will post pics of the "R&D" lol once I catch the thread up with the build.

Some pics to show the condition just after picking it up. Pressure washed all the dirt and critters out.

I guess I can not post multiple pics from phone please hold for more pics.

Subscribed.......It will ne nice to hopefully see one of these '60-'66 Blazers get finished. By looking at your rendering I see that you are planning on cutting the hood.

[hopped up]

I wanna see this one finished up
