I know I have seen a yellow or orange one around the net somewhere....Has anyone seen it or any other Blazers that were made into a real hard top? like a 2 door tahoe

1LoC10 · 05-24-2010, 12:20 PM

1LoC10 · 05-24-2010, 12:23 PM

bouncytruck · 05-24-2010, 12:56 PM

Not quite a burb roof, but very cool fixed roof.

Gearhead dude · 05-24-2010, 04:02 PM

I like these!

Effeckt · 05-24-2010, 05:10 PM

Pretty cool looking but for me it defeats the purpose I wanted a first gen Blazer - the full vert top!

Looking at those taillights.... you sure it's not just a shortened Suburban? Looks that way to me.

trz1000 · 05-25-2010, 10:16 PM

These are shortened Suburbans not Blazers. Very, very cool. There is (was?) a guy in LA that would chop yours and get it ready for paint for something like 10K. Not a bad deal, it's a lot of work. You have to section out the third door, about a foot between the tail lights and wheel arch, then chop the frame. Almost did it with a panel I had but decided to sell it and get a Jimmy, love the drop top and the commitment was a bit too intense for me at this time.

Effeckt · 05-26-2010, 12:13 AM

Good call on the shortened Suburban's! Now I'm all for it. I just couldn't see taking away one of my favorite features of the early K5's.

bouncytruck · 05-26-2010, 12:33 AM

Check out what Frizzle Fry did with his burb. He made a 4 door tahoe.

chevy2racr · 05-26-2010, 09:26 PM

It is a board member who owns it. From what I understand, the project has been put on a back burner while he enjoys life with his family.

1LoC10 · 05-27-2010, 11:24 AM

yeah thats what I said... I found that tahoe site and linked it, theen posted the pics i found o there.... they shorten burbs

**KevsClassics** · 05-27-2010, 11:27 PM

I know Robert (Just Metal) personally. Great guy. I have seen his work very very talented. In fact he has made a 4 Door Tahoe out of a Burb for a member of this forum.

chevyblazer · 05-28-2010, 01:45 AM

the tahoe one its awesome nice job they did

Gearhead dude · 05-28-2010, 09:19 AM

That 4-door Tahoe while very labor-intensive is awesome! Can someone link to it? I haven't seen his progress in a while.

Here's his build thread - http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=239896

Frizzle Fry · 05-29-2010, 07:48 PM

Don't forget the shortbed panel:

trz1000 · 05-30-2010, 12:07 AM

That short bed panel is awesome. That was what I had planned for mine till I sold it. I read about the buildup but I can't remember where. Anyway, they got that aggressive roof line buy cutting the front section of the panel roof out and replacing it with a pickup roof. They used enough of the pickup roof to use pickup doors. Looks way better IMHO.

Frizzle Fry · 05-30-2010, 06:47 PM

You can read about it in the link I posted above the pics
