Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

What started out as an '80 Blazer...

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

That tahoe is going to be one killer ride once it is done, any more pics ? What kind of frame are they going to run since they completly cut the floor out ? Anyone have pics of that blazer finished ?

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

Not sure he is finished with it, but here are a few more.

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

The only thing I do care for is the front end of that ride. everything else is killer.

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

Here is a pic of the rear setup on the burb tahoe conversion. Still waiting on more pix.

That's cool
But IMO...
it doesn't look right keeping the burb wheelbase.
It looks like a bob'd burb, not a Tahoe.

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

that burb was up for sale for a while...almost picked it up. looks like someone got it cheaper than i could or he decided to keep it.. cool idea and credit for the work, but shortening the wheelbase would make it more tahoe-ish....

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

Its being built by bbt fab in illinois. complete ground up one off fabricated. took 12inches out of the rear end but it also has a 2x4 chassis.

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

I agree.

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

I like both the burbahoe and the blazerburb

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

The leading edge of the step notch can be seen thru the rear door opening.
I wonder if they plan on moving the rear wheelwell opening forward?
I like the 73-80 front clip also.

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

Anyone notice the "trailer tounge jacks" used to level the frame table?

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

there are 100 pix in the build, heres another angle of the tube chassis

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

that notch is HUGE!!

I did,
that is a cool idea!
not too spendy either

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

Sick, I seen one that was all steel removable blazer top

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

Here is a 71 burb shortened 33inches out of the body to make a Stuburban by Keef customs

BGRAFX... that's a killer looking project, thanks for posting those pics!

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

Frizzle Fry's (from here) blue Tahoe he made himself, and 3 others while I'm at it.

His build thread http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=239896

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

Thanks for the link I will keep my eye on this one,looks like its going to be bad a@@.

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

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)

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

That looks so sick I wish I took pics of the one I seen that was a hard top removable, heavy but removable

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

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.

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

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

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

Here is two more of the '77, but there is never any decent ones from the back that I can find.

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

Nice any pics of the interior and under the hood?

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

No, unfortunately that's it. Well, so far.... I'm sure there is more out there somewhere. Maybe someone on here has some and can add em.

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

I could be wrong but I think bagged74 owned that for a little bit.

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

That bob'ed burb looks sweet

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

I just met this guy, 76blazer he got it for $200 and the PO took off the blazer top and caulked wood in the space.

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

Cool for $200!!!!!! there is a kit that is made up almost like that but fiberglass

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

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

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

Cool thread guys!

Re: Burb to tahoe conversion
 

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.
