Re: Dropped top burb....

it could be a cool project depending on how well a job they did removing the top and finishing the top rail of the doors and bed area

Re: Dropped top burb....

I was expecting a chopped top, not a gone top. It just doesn't seem to do much for me, but if the work was done right it could turn out pretty good.

Re: Dropped top burb....

The Blazer/Jimmy bodies are structurally reinforced via rocker boxes/tension rods to compensate for the lack of a top. That's with a 104" wheelbase. So I'm wondering if anything was done to that effect with this.

Re: Dropped top burb....

not good for anything but parts, plywood floor, open air top, think of a cardboard box with the bottom and top flaps unfolded.....if you drove that there is a good chance that you would hit the bakes and see your tailgate pull up to the side of you...that would suck

i know many didnt like it but i really hate to hear that someone has to flag this guys truck it was legit he wasnt scamming anyone and he didnt post over and over like so many do all hes trying to do is sell his stuff and even though many didnt care for it im sure this guy had alot of time and money in it and i bet had it been finished it would have gotten many second looks at a car show or stop light

I just never got to see it for myself at all to tell what degree of workmanship had gone into the thing. Anyone save the pictures?
