My new project
I picked up a Blazer Saturday that was set for crushing. I cannot say as I needed it but my thoughts are to make a short snow plow. Since the body is pretty rough, I want to remove it and install a truck cab with a wooden bed.
I wish the body were repairable but there is not much left even thought the pic may look ok. Jim |

Meathead,
I looked at the drivers side as you described and it is really bad! Sorry, Jim CPNE, I was hoping for something a little more protective against the cold! Thanks for the suggestion though. Jim |

Cold Plowing
Need a top?
I have an extra one that's heading for the crusher, come save it. Really, if you want it, it's yours. I have a blazer tub also...

vtblazer,
That is tempting! I will have to think about that as Vermont is a long way from Michigan. Jim |

Mich
I've been there twice this year already and once last year...
 Wasn't someone in Mich selling a frame that was completed? Tell ya what, pick up the frame and I'll meet ya half way with the top.  Heck, I'll bring the whole blazer if your interested. :p If the frame is still available. I'll try to find the original thread about it. Any good cabs out that way? |

Another one saved!! it doesn't matter what you use it for, at least it won't meet the crusher!
vtblazer, how bad is the top? if you're crushing it I might be interested in a couple of small pieces off of it for an idea I have, if you are willing to cut them up. Let me know. Thanks.

vtblazer,
What frame are you looking for , 2wd or 4wd? Also, I will keep an eye out for a cab. What condition are you interested in? I sure wish that I could come to Vermont as I have always thought that Vermont is a beautiful state. Now is a very bad time for me to go anywhere but you have me thinking! Jim |

If I could have my pick it would be a high hump, non A/C cab in better than average condition. Needing rockers is fine but I'd like to find one ready to go. |
