What's wrong?  You guys don't like mutant trucks?  Actually i kind of dug it myself.

If you want to see some really weird stuff, go to the airport;   Regular pickup cab on a really short wheelbase pulling luggage trains etc.

Seriously, what did you not like about the truck?

That video is an embarassment to Chevy's.
+1 Even better that it is a Crew Body on a Standard Cab Frame, and the Guy added Diesel Tips to a Sealed Hood ::)

Since obviously you want a 4x4 Crew Pickup, want to dismantle the Burb anyways, and you don't mind welding or cutting, why not hack the Burb body???  Slice off the Back of the Burb, and the Back of the Crew's Cab wall, mate them together, then weld on behind the rear doors...  Now trim up the Bed area of the Burb to behind the Rear Axle, then Graft on the top of the Crews Bedsides.. Add alittle extra(Not too much) length to the rear of the Burb Quarters, and Floor... 

When Finished, you will have your own 1 of 1 K35 Crewmino ;D

You keep jumping back and forth, but....

if you REALLY want a Crew 4x4 and you don't care about bed space (or lack of a bed) swap bodies.

If you want bed space and you want a long bed but you want 4x4, swap the drivetrain.

its not a matter of "not liking mutant trucks", it's "not liking poorly-made mutant trucks".  i had a K2500 Blazer (1976 GMC K2500 cab/axles, 1985 Chevy Blazer frame) myself and it was built right...it would have walked through that mud with no breakage...
