I am in a spot. I have 3 great projects. but my new years res. is to pick and finish one. so here it is. I have a 71 blazer that I was wanting to resotre. I have a 70 sub that i was thinkin about doing the tahoe build. last I have a 65 chevy that I want to make a 4 door extended cab. help me choose.

joe231 · 01-02-2009, 02:42 AM

um.......65 is a no-brainer here

Hickup pickup · 01-02-2009, 02:46 AM

The blazer seems to be the easiest to build unless it is a 4x4 and you want it to be a
2-wd, in that case I would take the burb into Taho project, but wouldn't that be kinda like a blazer, so go for the 4 door it will take you the longest and be the most difficult to build. or, or, or, .......... well I might not be the best one to respond to this question since I have 4 projects going on right now , mabye I need a New Years resalution too?
ok, here goes ... BLAZER! thats my final answer.

Well after sleeping on it I would build the 65 too. thats my final ,final answer!

JWOLVES · 01-02-2009, 07:37 AM

the 65 would be my choice

**scotts62** · 01-02-2009, 08:27 AM

'65 for me too

its 3 to 1 so far

62 short step · 01-02-2009, 09:28 AM

The 65 gets my vote!!

jonzcustomshop · 01-02-2009, 09:50 AM

the 65

BigDaddyDave · 01-02-2009, 10:02 AM

I think the 65 too.

70 Suburban · 01-02-2009, 06:27 PM

ok then leme give a little more info. I am a paint and body/ fab guy I have the tools to do just about anything. the blazer is my daily driver when I do that I am goin to do a full frame off. I have a sub that needs alot of work anyway. Now for the the 65. It was my firts truck/car and I have always wanted an extended cab. I have all the parts collected for it ie 2 cabs 6 doors a couple of frames extra hoods and a short bed.. the 65 was a driver too. I already have the small block build on a stand. and a 72 gmc parts truck.

TimE · 01-02-2009, 07:20 PM

Since you daily the blazer, I would do the 65 first, make it the "new" daily and then do the blazer and finally the 'burb. That's my $.02 worth.

70 Suburban · 01-02-2009, 07:27 PM

im thinkin like this

70 Suburban · 01-02-2009, 08:05 PM

or

apachedaddy · 01-02-2009, 08:59 PM

If it was me i would do the 65 first....reason-----lots of room after the restore because it sounds like your storing alot of parts fot it lol....

tiggamonsta · 01-02-2009, 10:30 PM

65, get your first truck the way you want it. Since it was your first truck you will enjoy having it complete more then the other two.

joe231 · 01-02-2009, 10:41 PM

I like this one

2manyprojects · 01-02-2009, 11:03 PM

Definitely go with the 65. I cant decide which prototype I like better.
