Re: Shorten Suburban
Cool, I wonder if anyone has ever taken the back side off to make it look like an Avalache? That would be cool!

Re: Shorten Suburban
Ok, well if you do it, do it right. Make the top like a truck top and shorten the arse to be more proportional. This would be pretty cool:

Yeah I agree but after that it would be cool. It's got me thinking.

Re: Shorten Suburban
Mike, where did you get those pictures? I looked at an Orange Cheyenne Shortbed (Used to be Longbed) at that same property earlier this year. I believe it's south east of Stockton. Sorry to get off the subject, but I had a deja vu moment.

Re: Shorten Suburban
There is a guy out of Oregon that does short Burbs. He had a couple of projects at the Portland swap meet this year. If I had the money I'd shorten my panel. http://67-72Tahoe.com

Re: Shorten Suburban
Looks more like a hardtop Blazer than a Tahoe to me. They're built to Blazer proportions with a 104" wheelbase. I know there were 2-door Tahoes in the 90's (that were also called full-size Blazers previously). I'd prefer a removable top Blazer or 3-door Tahoe but those little Blazurbans are cool.

Re: Shorten Suburban
anyone ever just took a blazer, and welded a burb roof on it in place of the fiberglass one?

Re: Shorten Suburban
I think the "avalanche" truck looks awesome, although FrizzleFry's chop makes it look even better. The only thing I'd offer up as a change would be to add a couple inches of material to the back of the "cab." It just looks too skinny back there.....
Otherwise I love it. Supposedly, this is a GM built 'burb in Argentina. And they have "avalanches" there too...

Re: Shorten Suburban
Shortening a Suburban - all the legroom of a Blazer without the amazing headroom.

Re: Shorten Suburban
Burbs have a taller roof than the trucks. But when you take the roof off of a Blazer it wins hands down =)
