Another that's kinda similar to the other one. K5 Blazer, suburban roof grafted on. Z'd frame, bagged, 2 link rear, 24" Radd RD2s, 350/TH350. Something was weird about the rear gate if I remember correctly, I don't have any pics of it though. (not a Tahoe, but they did make 2 door 'Hoes for a while)

What year was it? '73-'80 or '81+? I'll see if I can maybe find it. Of course it could be re-clipped either way too... hard to tell anymore.

It was re-clipped but the guy said it was a 1980 and his buddy had a 89 with a 64 front clip on it it was just as sick body droped

Yeah I had that one for a while. The rear gate/hatch are was a mess, that was the main reason that i sold it. they use a burb roof from a truck with barn doors, and the taligate on the bottom didnt jive with the way the top was made to fit the doors. I dont really have any good pictures of it though

That's going to be one sweet ride when finished!

@BGRAFX, I'm sorry but I don't think I would have given $200 for that pic in post #36. I had to :lol: when I saw that. Hopefully he can get it straighted up the right way. Gotta be one of the funnies P.O. stories I ever heard.

Love this! makes me want to go find a jimmy and Burban!

Has any one ever grafted a Burban rear section(after the rear doors) on to a Truck bed making a permanent topper? Could be interesting.

I remember when you bought the yellow one, I felt bad about how that ended up for you. Then I saw pictures of your new red one, didn't realize it was yours til later. I saw the wheels (ones off the yellow one) and it made me wonder if there was a connection, come to find out I was right. Looks like it's coming along really good though!
