Found this while cruising CL last night. Shortest bed I have ever seen.

Buy it Dan!

I kinda like the lil rascal.

mcbassin · 02-04-2013, 12:21 PM

That thing was up for discussion a while back Daniel....page threeCraigs thread

Very interesting design though.

yuccales · 02-04-2013, 12:38 PM

If that was 4x4, make a cool camping rig.

**29od1** · 02-04-2013, 12:44 PM

I saw that too. It actually looks pretty symmetric and would make a good crawler with the short wheel base. I'm not sure about the stacks though.

67basketcase · 02-04-2013, 01:10 PM

Why can I picture that painted orange with an 01 on the door?

dfwright · 02-04-2013, 01:33 PM

Other than the chrome exhaust stacks, I like it!

flashed · 02-04-2013, 01:51 PM

I kind of like it too.

Low Elco · 02-04-2013, 01:55 PM

I was gonna say, still looks pretty symmetrical, not too bad! Slam that puppy! (and lose the dork stacks)

Madtat · 02-04-2013, 02:37 PM

I'd get rid of those rocket launchers, then.... I'd roll it!

OregonNed · 02-04-2013, 03:02 PM

Codename "Stubby"

That's my guess. I built one once. I woulda still had it if this board was availible back then. I just didn't know where to find parts.

quick60 · 02-04-2013, 11:11 PM

The city garage here in Chesapeake has one that I think may be shorter but......its a FORD so dosent really count. They use it to tow stuff (other Fords) around the yard because of its turning radius can get it in and out of tight spots.

Andy4639 · 02-04-2013, 11:15 PM

Factory AC to... not a bad little ride I bet! $3500 is not a bad price either.
Keep the stacks and put some spark plugs in them!

chevyblazer · 02-04-2013, 11:24 PM

Awesome

i think its cool

67c10rustbuket · 02-05-2013, 07:18 AM

It is definetely unique. It looked shorter than a blazer to me originally but I think it is an illusion after staring at pictures of "trazers". I think because there is actually a bed, not a tub the seperation of cab and bed makes it look "stubby" as someone else said. Kind of cool but not my style. Obviously the chimneys have to go! The engine does look pretty slick in the ad and it appears to be rust free.

No thanks I will let you have this one

I dont think the bed is big enough for the huge deer that I get every year.

Mike, I did not know about that CL thread. I will start using that one. Yes very interesting, just a little too short for me. I almost want to go look at it just to look at it.

pritch · 02-05-2013, 10:00 PM

This is the only picture I have of the one that I built. It wasn't much, but it was fun.

It was only like about 4" from the back of the cab to the start of the fenders.

I wonder how bad the ride would be in one - seems like it would be pitching up and down all the time.

Probably wouldn't be any different than a Blazer.
