You are what, 3.5 hrs away? I'll let you know when I need help placing the 52 body onto the Envoy!

The 52 body & sheet metal go to the 'dipshop' next week!

3.5 ! I wish ! It takes about 3 hours to get to West Linn were my son lives.
How far from West Linn ?

I recall some 20 or so years ago acid dipping a 66 Chevelle body lying awake at night thinking to myself I just spent $1300.00 dollars on acid dipping !
Which at that time was more than I had ever spent on a car

Thanks for the thread ! lots of fun.
Who knows West Linn to Eugene....... possible ?

How far into the body mounts are you? Will the frame fit between the rocker panels / inner cowl area?

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build

How far into the body mounts are you? Will the frame fit between the rocker panels / inner cowl area? The rear body mounts are no problem. It looks like the front ones we'll have to modify slightly. I will post when we get there. The rockers/inner cowl fitment with the frame is NO problem at all. The rear inner wheel house appears to be in EXACTLY the same place.

What did you do with the envoy body parts? D&L Trucks parts in Junction City, Or sold me the Envoy without the sheet metal that unbolts. I volunteered to return the quarters, top, etc. They treated me right on the rest of it, figured it was the least I could do.

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build

i like the concept, but aren't parts for newer vehicles more expensive? With all of the after market parts for these trucks today (48-5?), it's hard to justify limiting yourself to a trailblazer/envoy parts selection. Then again i see you own a trailblazer SS, so i guess to know more about the reliability and available parts than i would.

Good luck and i will be keeping an eye on this as i've been looking at my dad's 48 street rod suburban project for last ten years and riding to shows in his mostly original 53 panel. once i finish my 96, then his 71; we will have no choice to crank another burb...luckily i'm only 24..lol

I don't know what parts you are referring to. I bought the complete, running, rolling chassis for less than the cost of a crate small block. It included the drivetrain, four wheel disc brakes, heated seats, a/c, nonrusty floor, carpet, wiring, and on & on.
If I just build a driver, I think I could have LESS in this than my 48 GMC Panel. The Panel is your typical hotrod build: stock frame, TCI front clip, wrecking yard seats, donor 396 & 700r4.
PLUS, other than going to the next level, is this concept any different than using an S-10?
