Check out the Chop Top Burb...I dont know?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

80BIG10 · 08-25-2004, 03:28 PM

I just dont know...what do y'all think of it? Looks strange

although it looks like they did a good job.
Here is the description the dealer has for it:

4WD Custom Chopped Top Conversion, well thought out and Done Right! Must See! Perfect for the beach/desert or for a hunting truck. Heavily reinforced frame and body. The conversion started out with a nice clean rustfree Suburban. 3rd row seat, nerf bars, towing package with front and rear frame mounted class III hitches (perfect for mounting hunting seats on the front), and custom alloy wheels with wide tires. Mechanically completely gone through, it can be driven anywhere. We are marketing this for a friend of Mr. Driscoll's, he spent stupid money building this truck!!

They have it priced at $8,900.

Might be a fun cruiser but not what I would have done. Looks like a job done pretty well though.

r0lf- · 08-25-2004, 05:06 PM

I believe that would be a full time convertable, not chopped top.

**N2TRUX** · 08-25-2004, 06:02 PM

That would look cool with a roll bar and a bikini top on it. I wouldn't pay that kind of money for it, but I would roll it....

cliffsta · 08-25-2004, 06:06 PM

Anyone ever "blown the brains out" of one of our trucks? as in, put in a sunroof? I bet that would look cool.

1969 GMC · 08-25-2004, 06:19 PM

it would be cooler if it was full convertable. I mean, what is the point of doing something like that if you still get to stare at the headliner over top of you?

race2c · 08-25-2004, 06:52 PM

It's definitely different...

Looks like a 4-door blazer.

kevinr1970 · 08-26-2004, 12:26 AM

Maybe you could modify a 73-75 full top to work on that thing????

That might be what they did. I saw one that just had the back cut off and he had a 85 blazer top on the back and it looked decent.

80BIG10 >>> Do you have any pics of it with the top on?
Where did you find this thing?

80BIG10 · 08-26-2004, 10:32 AM

I found this thing listed from a local dealer. Those are the only pics they had of it. I don't even know if there is a top for it.

It looks like it would have been a great burb to have before the cutting.

Dropped90Burb · 08-26-2004, 09:03 PM

Yeah, looks like it USED TO be a nice burb. I think it looks like S**T

BeerMonkeY · 08-26-2004, 10:26 PM

im doin some research on putting a blazer top on a burb, what i found is it fits witdth and height wize but yuo need to rool the tops of the fenders to hold the top , and i haven figured out the rear doors yet, i think it would be easy if it had a tailgate but mine has barn doors

Bowed · 08-27-2004, 12:35 AM

That would work out pretty good down here in the dessert . I have owned topless blazers but never even thought of anything like that .
