Well it looks longer than stock. That said I would put it maybe ~6" longer as a guess based on the width of that front patch panel ahead of the wheel arch.

Re: Please help

Is it a shortened pickup or a blazer?

Re: Please help

looks like the doors were taken off and an 8' pickup body was pulled all the way up to the a pillar and blended in. Not sure if it is a short wb pickup or a blazer drivetrain though. hard to tell from the angle. Looks pretty neat though

Most women like the strong, silent type… Fortunately for me, my wife prefers the out-of-shape, mouthy type.

Re: Please help

There was a post about this truck a while back, I thought it was a long bed made into a Unibody truck... Really though, you can make anything you want and whatever length you want if you can weld and figure things out lol

Wow that looks kinda neat. Who needs a cab when you have zipcuts and a welder

That is a long bed side panel. If you look at it close the first patch piece on the front was taken from behind the wheel opening and the wheel opening was moved back. Took the door off and welded the bedside directly to the front fender. So it is 8' long from front pillar to the back corner. I still cant figure out what chassis it is on.

Re: Please help

Could be a stock blazer frame. Just add 20" and subtract the legth of the door and it should be fairly close for overall body length. The rear wheel well is waaaay back, like a bobtailed truck, but I'm thinking it might be stock 105" wheel base. Cool idea though, I kind of like it.

I like it as art. They say if you have to look at something and think about it that is art right? Then this qualifies. It is definately unique without being ugly.
