That is super nice looking. Buy I wouldn't be able to decide if I would rather have a blazer or a tahoe out of a suburban.

72gmcshorty · 03-09-2008, 10:28 PM

Does anyone know if that build was documented on this site?

**OleSenna** · 03-09-2008, 11:14 PM

That is insanely cool. Any word on where it is today?

**Steven B** · 03-11-2008, 07:20 PM

The guy that did it is at www.67-72tahoe.com If your going to the Portland swap meet you might see him. He had a couple of other projects last year.

Frizzle Fry built a '69 "Tahoe" and did an excellent job. Here is a link to his build thread.

I think it looks good but I would have to do something different on the back doors. Thanks for the pics, I am looking for a suburban roof as we speak. Also if the roof was reskined and flattend where it was not so tall looking I think it would look much better for a custom.

Kade- Are you building a hard top for your blazer or???

That is what I am thinking, might as well go all out or go home

I want something different and the factory top ain't gonna cut the mustard thought about doing a little chop on the fatory hardtop but metal is easier to work with.

72BlckButy · 03-12-2008, 06:03 AM

kade, I agree with you I would have to do something different with the doors in the rear. Other than that... those things are SICK!!!!!

No, thinking of making it a wagon type. The topless theme is nice but I intend on driving mine and don't wanna worry about a rain cloud. And since the interior will be in the 5K range I don't think the top will be coming off anyways.

Picture of Blazer/Burb I saw at a car show in Seaside, OR last September.

Frizzle Fry · 05-30-2008, 08:24 AM

The guy that does those is named Robert in Nehalem OR. Here's his website: www.67-72tahoe.com

BurnoutNova · 05-30-2008, 03:41 PM

why does he not paint the white tops all the way back and make it even on the back doors? they look so weird without the tops of the doors painted. did burbs come body color even when they had a white top?

those are sweet... now we just need to see a 4wd tahoe!

**nightmare** · 05-30-2008, 04:33 PM

Those look cool. And they start at $9500. I'm wondering if you have to supply the 'Burb though.

Frizzle Fry · 05-30-2008, 08:25 PM

I agree the top of the doors should be white. I'm pretty sure the price is for conversion of a customer supplied Burb. A little steep IMO unless it includes paint.

jkade · 05-30-2008, 08:47 PM

I decided to do a traizer and picked up a cab, doors, and another roof for the 2" chop but I am going to be out of work at the end of June so I am not spending any money on it now. I did the reasearch and it would be a major PITA to put a burban roof on a blazer.

Why not sell the blazer and cut up a burb? I would think that would be easier.

I love my blazer and would rather cut on it

Nah I don't see the point of selling it when I would lose a good 15K and it is rust free and doesn't need much body work to be perfect. It is a good start and I don't need someone eles junk when I have my own. I am going with a traizer not a burber, it would be a lot of work to turn a suburban into a traizer in my book.

Keep us informed, I like Trazers if they are done right
