Totally Wanna Build a 73-87 one of these
« on: March 03, 2011, 02:04:43 pm »
This was one of the Top 25 under construction projects for 2010 in Street Trucks magazine. I really want to do one in our body style. He took the bedsides from a longbed and welded them to the cowl. Too cool.

Not a fan. I'd rather build a 2wd 73-75 blazer

I like it.  It's different for sure. Not sure it would look as good in the form of a 73-87 tho. I think it would be too square.

I've seen one in our body style. Its on youtube somewhere too. It's a baby blue body and a white interior look up 73-87 and its somewhere in there. Really one of a kind and looks sweet. Not built to be driven though which I wouldn't be able to do if I had one. A bagged 72 Jimmy would be taken over one of these anyday.

After riding a 46 Harley daily I think I could handle cruising that on the regular, of course I live in Arizona and would be able to drive it most of the year
