just made shortest 69 c10 around so sexy

[69chevytrucker]

well its not done but i couldnt wait to show it off i got goose bumps when i got the box lined up
first pic is when it was a long box










took almost 30 inches out of the box

[69chevytrucker]

the box was cut to 77 inches to fit on the blazer frame

[69chevytrucker]

its getting closer to being done

[69chevytrucker]

i think this will turn out good i hope people dont think i wrecked 2 trucks to make this

[69chevytrucker]

i assume all the silence must mean this is not a popular transformation well i was a car guy i like the 69 c10 just not a big fan of 2wd or dropping a truck in the weeds i have a t/a for being low to the ground so if im going to have a truck i want a big truck and i was allways a fan of blazers so i combined the two and i now have this
call me crazy but i like it

[jjzepplin]

Not sure what you did here. Blazer frame-c10 cab-cut down long bed? I like modifications. Some guys don't. I want to see where this goes!

[TheCougarine]

Honestly, I think this could be cool once its finished. Should look a lot like a blazer with a half cab on it I'm guessing. I'm for sure interested in the final result.

I vote to keep the progress pics coming.

[69chevytrucker]

that might look cool too short and stubby lol

[69chevytrucker]

so i have all the cab mounts done well at least the rough done i need to grind and paint but i have the holes drilled the height set and they are solid

[69chevytrucker]

so this is how it sits on the frame without the engine that will come next







more to come

[69chevytrucker]

now i have a 1969 k-5 super short box 4x4 with power steering power brakes front disc .
so i got a ? for you guys i have a 88 trans am that i plan to do a LS swap so would it be any good if i put the engine out of my T/A its a LB-9 tune port injected engine into this truck. or should i stick to the 350 thats bored 30 over . pros / cons

[NASTY-LSX]

Pretty cool! keep the 350 and keep the t/a motor with the t/a

ya maybe i think messing with my T/A would be a bad idea too its 100% factory with ws6 package and even the windshield is original with the GM factory imported to canada sticker on it .

[TheCougarine]

Seems like a candidate to leave alone to me. I can't see any advantage in using that engine in anything else. Funny you mention a late 80's T/A, I was just having a conversation the other day about when cars from that era will really get collectible. I've always liked that that body style. Of course I like just about all Trans Ams.

thats my prob with the T/A it is right at the time where it is starting to be collectible but they sold alot of them good for me alot got customized so mine is still a 100% except tie rods and tires . my 69 is rare but the PO did a hack job on the resto too much bondo and spray foam so i did all new steel and thought what the heck chop it up and make a one of a kind truck

[TheCougarine]

That is true, you rarely see a nice stock third gen Trans Am or Camaro.

[69chevytrucker]

so i guess i will go with the 350 and keep the T/A stock





some pics of the T/A
