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.

SS Delux · 11-16-2010, 06:05 PM

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 ?

Mkcustums · 11-16-2010, 06:16 PM

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

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)

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

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.

if u look at the bottom pic looks like they used a truck tailgate and a blazer/burb glass and structural on top

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

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

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.

I agree.

jbjburbs · 11-16-2010, 10:17 PM

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....
