Here is my 71 chevy custom truck. It started out as a K5 Blazer, then went 2 wheel drive and soon after that went under the knife again to become what you see here. Let me know what you guys think. It was truly a project.

bad_turbo · 02-24-2007, 12:14 AM

pretty nice custom!!

dan42 · 02-24-2007, 12:15 AM

Nice job -looks like that old ford unibody except much better -

RACINJASON22 · 02-24-2007, 01:11 AM

Cool That would make a awsome 71 nascar craftsman truck themed truck with no cab to bed seperation and you alredy have the right wheels! GR8 truck dare to be different!

StormRider · 02-24-2007, 01:21 AM

Good Job! I dig those rims! U gonna slap some paint on her? Bet it would look awesome Jet Black.

chevymike71 · 02-24-2007, 01:31 AM

I was kind of going for the craftsmen truck look. I'm glad you like it. I was thinking of a dark gray for paint. It's alot of fun to drive.

RACINJASON22 · 02-24-2007, 01:38 AM

Ya know what they say GR8 minds think alike

Rokcrln · 02-24-2007, 01:52 AM

Looks good! My next customer build is the same theam but with a 2" chop to bring things together for a board member in Napa. I built his chassie last year and now it is time for the body/roof work. How did you finish out the back of cab/head board?

To use the "[IMG]" tags like you did, you have to insert a complete URL to link a picture that already exists somewhere on the net. If you have the pictures on your computer, you have to either attach them (scroll down below the text entry window to the "Additional Options" window and click "Manage Attachements") or you can submit your pictures to a free webhost like photobucket.com, and then use the "[IMG]" tags.

Good luck

e rock · 02-24-2007, 02:03 AM

Nevermind - I just saw your other thread. Feel free to delete this one.

I'd like to know who's gonna clean all the lucky charms and 2% milk off my key board and monitor, and my deks, since it all shot through my nose after seeing that picture.

THAT was funny as hell.

Mike, that truck looks totally bad ass. Do you have any photos of the inside where the work was done, or maybe the front of the bed?

**special-K** · 02-24-2007, 11:32 AM

Andy,pretty much the same here,only Frosted Flakes.Let`s all say it together...1...2...3..."Try my product." BWaaaaaah hah hah!!!

Longhorn Man · 02-24-2007, 11:48 AM

LOL

And you gotta say please, in a slightly snobby annoied mannor!

Like This? The chop top really makes it look more proportional with the short wheelbase.

Hey Mike. This is my kinda project! I like stock cars n trucks and yours, well, you've got it going on there. Would be nice to get some info on the cab top conversion. Looks like a stock pickup roof and back wall attached to the Blazer body. I hear the fiberglass conversions are getting real hard to come by. I looked at a 71 last year that had the pickup top and back wall welded in to it. It was a real hatchet job though and I couldn't see having to completely redo the thing so i passed.
I'm not at all into the drifting fad but I can just see your truck on the skid with a big block and monster rear tires a smokin!

mkundo · 02-25-2007, 06:32 PM

Seeing a build like that gets me all fired-up. I'm looking forward to having Kevin put his personal touches to my next project. Kustom '71 I like the sound.

Here a some pics from when the custom 71 was created.

**Boog** · 02-25-2007, 10:02 PM

Oh I see. It didn't occur to me to use a complete pickup cab. Any concerns with the bed panel to cab welds cracking over time? Some of the 4wd Blazer guys won't go for it but I do. You know, a guy could do the same with a shortbed pickup by shortening the bed and frame and welding them back together. Hmmmmm. Thanks for the pics.

stsalvage · 02-26-2007, 02:48 AM

there is a place out there that would pay you to run there logo on your truck i think one of the sponcers from dupont would love to put one of there decales on that truck for avrtisment it make be worth it for 150.00 a week not bad all you have to do is drive it around

moose83772 · 03-10-2007, 01:15 AM

that looks pretty good. now arent you glad that i gave you that idea and talked you into using my old cab to do it. keep goin with it. maybe someone will hit us up to do one for them.

later
kasey
