Here is a pic

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-21-2010, 03:59 PM

That's pretty cool!

*BGRAFX* · 10-21-2010, 05:58 PM

Like an avalanche burb/blazer

**special-K** · 10-22-2010, 08:17 AM

I'd buy that if I could.Still haven't given up hope on bringing my '91 back to life.I'd like to see the back.I do love my barn doors,though.

motornut · 10-23-2010, 07:23 AM

ya thats cool seen a few on the net ,this one i saw a while ago

cheepin · 10-23-2010, 06:09 PM

That is cool.Any know of any build threads on this?

motornut · 10-24-2010, 07:54 AM

nope havn't seen any

motornut · 10-24-2010, 08:23 AM

i got about a dozen pics ,this guy did a lot of work,turned out great i think

motornut · 10-24-2010, 08:26 AM

good thing a picture is worth a thousand words,or in this case a thousand hours

cheepin · 10-24-2010, 06:47 PM

So is the rear overhang longer then a stock Sub?

motornut · 10-25-2010, 11:32 AM

it looks like it is here

jonzcustomshop · 10-26-2010, 04:06 PM

pretty cool years back one of my "dream " vehicles was a 89 sub with a full removable top like the 73-74 blazer.

scooterskoolkustoms · 10-26-2010, 04:23 PM

wow a lot of work,would like to see it all done in paint

I was thinking the same thing.But man I wouldn't even know where to start on that.What do you do for the B-pillar?I would guess you would need to brace the body some how to keep it rigid.Maybe cage it.

jonzcustomshop · 10-27-2010, 01:19 AM

my cheap and easy idea was to weld/bolt in a bar that would go from side to side right under the top of the front seat back.

the right way would be to triangulate a brace off the b pillar to the floor, and the attach another body mount to the frame in that spot.

suiciding the rear doors would also take some pressure off the area-and would look cool too!

tantrumpipeline · 10-27-2010, 01:23 AM

That is the coolest modification you can do to these burbs, lifted and topless, love it!

You know, International Harvester made their Terra's and Traveler's with full removable hard tops. They were 118" wheel base SUV's basically. But I bet you could use the same idea there.

Don't think I have ever seen one of them.Going to have to check that out.

lindstromjd · 11-12-2010, 12:59 AM

Same basic principle as the Scout's. Everything from the windshield frame was removable, and you could swap the "full" tops with the "truck" tops. This particular one is a Scout, but Travelers were the same thing only with a longer wheel base.

tantrumpipeline · 11-12-2010, 02:39 AM

always like the scouts, but the travelall is ugly IMO and never seen one with a removable roof, but they don't match well with a suburban, the scout however is a good base for a wheelin truck

lindstromjd · 11-12-2010, 03:00 AM

I love Scouts. I have 3. The Travelall was the "suburban" for International, it never came with a removable top. I was thinking you could get a hold of a fiberglass "full" top from a Traveler and modify it though.

tantrumpipeline · 11-12-2010, 03:17 AM

any pics of the scouts? my grandpa had a yellow travelall with the wood panel and all in the 70's, international really only made the scout for nice vehicles, helped a friend build one with a 440 6 pack and locked up dana 44's about 10 years ago, wish I woulda kept more pics of old trucks and projects

lindstromjd · 11-12-2010, 03:54 PM

These are two of them. I love the soft / safari top option.
