Re: Short Stuff building a '65 Blazer
Votes for #1 are automatically disqualified since the question clearly stated it "for all the Tahoe/Blazer fans" ...jk

Here's the legend:
  1. Stock Burb Dimensions
  2. Rear Wheels Moved Back
  3. Shortened Wheelbase and Rear Overhang (like this build)
  4. Shortened Rear Overhang Only

Looks like #3 is the clear winner. I agree that #3 is closest to ideal proportions (for my taste). A close second for me is #4. The compelling thing about #4 is that you can get that shorty look with much less work (no change in wheelbase). Perhaps a little less off the rear to balance it out...
Here they are again since we switched pages:

Re: Short Stuff building a '65 Blazer
#3. Maybe with the axle forward just a little more, but definitely 3.

Re: Short Stuff building a '65 Blazer
I've been looking for,my next project and I think you have given me inspiration, only difference will be two axles and a lot of lift. I just love the idea of have two making trucks that are completely different at the same time

Sad to see it end. Just for fun I wanted to see what it would look like as a panel.

There's a nice one sitting in Coaldale in a storage yard north of the tracks. No idea if its for sale, but might be worth a look.
