72 Tahoes & Short beds

[capev86]

i wouldn't call it a tahoe 'cause its a 2 door....i think hard top blazer is a better description considering the wheelbase and body measurements. they are awesome looking (way better than the 4 door modification). hope they try to use some of the rougher burbs needing serious reconstruction anyway. hate to see a prime condition truck cut up. i am very much for preserving classic cars and chopping up modern ones that aren't so collectible.....but i think i want one of these hard top blazers to go with my 72 burb. maybe in a few years when i am rich and have the parking space and someone else is selling one of these. i don't like that the full size blazer lost its name to the s-10 trucks. blazer is a waaaay cooler name than tahoe which i only use to describe those ugly shorty 4 doors.


i think i'd be tempted to use the vin off a blazer and register it as such 'cause once you lose the 127 inch wheel base and 18 foot body, it just isn't truly a suburban anymore. again, i'm not a fan of body mods but those 2 doors could grow on me, especially if they are setup to look like they rolled off the factory floor with correct rolling stock and trim, etc. talk about throwing people a curve ball!!
