Re: anyone ever..

There are a few around that have been bobbed to fit the removable K5 top on the rear, they look surprisingly good. The few squares I've seen that got some version of a "Tahoe" bob weren't as convincing. That looks better on a 60-66 or 67-72, to me at least. I didn't save any links but google should bring some up.

For a shortened Burb wouldn't you be better off just buying the same year blazer.

Re: anyone ever..

Here's two pics of "K5 Burbs" I found, I can't find any of 2wd Burb's that have been bobbed. The third pic is of a 4x4 Burb with the "Tahoe bob".
