Idea? 67-72 Suburban converted to Avalanche - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

It seems like alot less work than the Tahoe idea. What do you thinks?

What do you think? Looks easier than the Tahoe conversion to me.

Would have to see a photochop before I could say one way or another.

Here's one that is Avalanche-ish. It could have been done a little a differently IMO, but it gives you basic idea of what it would look like.

I thought they made those in Mexico or something.

They did make somthing similiar in South America, but the one above was built by someone besides GM. Being that it is a 4X4, its believed that it may have been a conversion for the forestry service or similiar. The ad below shows yet another variation of a Avalanche-type pickup.The 2nd pic below is a South American burb.

Did those come with a rear hatch? I've only seen pics with a solid rear window. Hello leaks! Never mind, I read the post

Here's another one. Not in the same category as a Tahoe for comparison IMO... Two separate animals. Both with their own pro's and Cons.
