Just bolted the front mounts down, then jacked the rear of the cab until the door to fender body lines where correct. Double checked measurements from a truck for something to roughly go by.

At the track last weekend I saw a beautiful early 80's 2wd Jimmy that the guy put a truck cab rear wall in. Looked like a shorty pickup but the announcer said look closely behind the door: there's no gap. It was a Jimmy that he made into a truck. It was beautiful! Guy left before I could take pics of it though but I'm sure I'll see him again. It was running 11's  :o

I found this one on the net a while back and thought it was kinda cool.

Does the pic work for anyone else? Not me.

Me neither. I have a 76 K5 with nothing useful but the rolling chassis, and this thread is giving me ideas ;D

Very interesting....  Probably look better without a front bumper or with a rear.  I would like to see one in person...

Aside from being yellow, that's a pretty tasty lil toy. I'd personally like to see it stretched a couple more inches and painted something less ugly... but to each their own

If I can get my hands on a Blazer frame, that's what I plan to build.  I'm not sure how I'd like it in person, I wish I could find more pics of that one online.

I just got myself a 82 Blazer frame and I'm gonna see if I can buy my friend's 78 longbed for the cab, bed, front suspension, and rear axle. The plan is to build something similar to that yellow one.

Oh, man. A Trazer with a dump bed would be frickin' PERFECT for most of the work we're doing around our property. I think it'd be a lot easier to just find a nice swb K10.... but I do so love having a longbed....



I can see how some folks end up with lots of these trucks.
