make a blazer out of a truck
I may be guilty of over simplifying but all it would take is a few cuts and some welds and my 72 c-10 could be a blazer! The frame would have to be reworked to be more car like and I would have to reinforce the portion of the cab that the door closes against and the rear fenders would weld up to. Has any one successfully pulled this off?

Re: make a blazer out of a truck
Correct, very guilty.
 There was a thread awhile ago where someone had started the same thing, never fiished it as far as I can remember though...? |

Re: make a blazer out of a truck
Kurt - I think they used a Suburban to pull that off - I recall seeing it - but never saw it get finished (I could very well be wrong though).
Can't find the build thread - maybe somebody else can... |

Re: make a blazer out of a truck
The biggest obstacle would be the step up from the cab to the bed floor and the rear door pillars. There was a build where someone converted a truck cab and used it on a blazer, but he started with a blazer and had those parts so he didn't have to fabricate them from scratch.
I'm thinking it was a guy who got suspended from the site... Rg

Re: make a blazer out of a truck
I had a neighbor years ago that had done one like that.
It had kind of a funny bend in the middle, right behind the cab. |

Re: make a blazer out of a truck
with the exception of the wheels, that crew cab looks like it came from the factory!
