Just saw this on Ebay - started at 12k with a reserve - curious to see what this goes for.

Not mine - no connection to the auction or seller.

===========================================

From the Ebay listing:

Brand new 1969-1972 Chevrolet / GMC K5 Blazer / Jimmy shell / body assembly. Don't waste precious years and money on your rusted out Blazer or Jimmy Tub at your local body shop. For anyone who knows how time consuming and expensive it is these days to restore one of these beautiful pieces of history... Please save yourself the stress and shock of the initial task of planning out how to go about restoring or building your dream K5. Here we have a brand new tub assembly that has been meticulously built using all modern and state-of-the-art equipment. Assembled in the U.S.A. The overall quality of your entire restoration for one of these historical vehicles; revolves around how well the shell has been constructed. Don't let your neighborhood body shop MIG weld your blazer back together using patches and donor panels from countless hours of searching and scavenging. And doing so only after sandblasting the entire truck, and putting it on a rotisserie, only to find swiss cheese and rot afterwards. Old school "plug" welding /MIG welding only speeds up the corrosion process and compromises the 50+ year old metal by overhardening it. You will be left with a body that is very prone to cracking and rusting. This brand new k5 blazer tub has been squeeze-type resistance welded together (just like factory) using state of the art 3 phase smart welders and 3D Laser measuring to ensure proper alignment. Smart welders leave almost no heat signature while leaving computerized penetration. Unlike the original 50year old technology … all the seams have also been coated with a modern electricized coating before assembly, eliminating bare steel between layers before the welding process. No matter how much you sandblast an original tub, you can never clean in-between the seams. Factory bodies would be mostly bare steel before this process, which is why most of the rust would start at the seams even after a meticulous restoration.
This Body has also been built on an original frame assembly just to ensure fitment. All panels are modern alloys and are just as thick or thicker than original … all while containing a much better carbon content than was even available 50 years ago. The passion for building this body came from these very desires. As time goes on, I see too many people spending money on restorations that ultimately just wont last, and on vehicles that just shouldn't be restored as they are just too far gone. Technology has come so far over the last 20 years in the restoration world. Give your project a fighting shot at lasting longer and build it better than it was originally designed. Skip the sandblasting, patching and gallons of filler, years of stress and money, and head straight to the paint-booth with this brand new tub. Includes doors, hinges, tailgate and hardware. This tub has a non-AC firewall, a large hump floor panel, and a Cheyanne or GMC tailgate. Stamped Chevrolet tailgate can be swapped out if needed. This tub is 100 % new from bed to firewall. Not a single original piece was used in it's construction. All panels/gaps have been adjusted to better than original standards . Like any aftermarket panel, some bodywork/ finishing is needed for show quality finish. feel free to ask any questions. At this time... this is the ONLY body assembly available for sale ANYWHERE that I have found. I have only built one for the pure desire to see if it could be done, and it is a masterpiece! happy bidding. Buyer is to arrange shipping. body will be placed on a wooded skid with casters for moving. A $1500 deposit will be required immediately at actions close VIA PayPal or credit card over the phone, with the remainder do within 7 days.
