|  Montana bound 1.9 chev!
well i've actually been working on this for a couple months, but for some reason i just got a wild hair to finish it... plus i had a little extra cash. i used some axles from my old scaler. bought some bruiser leaf springs from a local guy. went to the hardware store and bought some brake line and some 1/4" key stock and went to town.. heres some pics as of right now.. still more tube work and little bit more bed work and she'll be about ready! can wait to run it!! well anyways on to the pics... oh and excuse the tape measure its acting as a counter balance, the body isn't mounted yet.

That is sweet man! That thing has a lot of potential! Add some fender liners and put a top on the bed would set it off IMO. Nice work!

I'd rethink your roof rack there, it looks too much like a giant tape measure sitting on the roof.  So far it looks awesome, I love how the main hoop and bumper flow with the body. |

ahh yes, a truck cab on a blazer frame, it results in a super short wheelbase truck. its an excellent platform for an offroad rig. most people build up blazers and wheel the crap out of them then the tub starts stress cracking and getting really beat up so you just throw a cab and a small flatbed on it and call it a day.
