does anyone have any info on how this was built? i have plenty of parts to do this , and i think it would be the perfect way to clean up all the extra stuff i have around the shop. any in site into this truck would be appreciated very much.

I think I remember reading that it was actually built from a longbed truck.

ortegamotor · 11-13-2010, 12:07 PM

thats what i'm thinking as well. i really want to know what frame to start with and some measurements . someone on here should know something about it. thanks for any help.

Have no idea what the frame is .......guessin its a blazer, but not sure , maybe its a shortened up long frame ???? , rest looks like long bed bedsides slid forward to the front fenders and wheel openings moved to match the wheel base ..... AND yes ... it is kool and I want to build one cuz I cant find a good blazer canidate to build ....thats affordable or close

That's pretty sweet! I don't think I would want to use it for a daily though, no top or doors would get old pretty quick. Although getting in with it aired out would probably be pretty easy!

It does look awesome... And just think... no swiss cheese rockers, cab corners, drip rails, or over the window rot... All the good stuff minus a rusty cab... ;-)
