That clod body will bond/plastic weld with Tennax 7, Bondene, both available at your LHS. You could also use MEK which is available at any hardware store, Weld on 3 is the best product I have found, it is available at most plastic distributors like tap plastics.

The rc4wd blazer has a bit different plastic and it seems to require a specific type of chemical.

Started on the body filler today.

Finally filled that awful crack in the roof

Hmmm looking more suburbany

Still debating on how to mount the camper.
Not sure if I should just weld it or use the brackets that come with the k5 blazer body.

Got a ton of sanding/shaping to do.

Should be primed and ready to paint by this weekend[emoji106]

Are you going to stretch the ass end a little? The rear end hangs out further than the Blazers do.

I was thinking about it, and I decided not to. Was to subtle of a change to bug me. Also I want to do another rig with my spare body parts

Cool. I've always wanted to bob a suburban to the length of a K5. I drag my rear bumper everywhere.

Nice work! "thumbsup"

Here's a cool bobbed burb if you need some inspiration.

Nice project I vote for photo 1, but not that color."thumbsup"

Thanks a lot guys!

So I decided to wait to mount the camper until my brackets come in.
Don't need it breaking off while wheeling it!

I primed the top to check the filler a bit better.
I can still see the body filler when it's painted.
Perhaps I should use a finer sand paper?
I'm using 2500.

Any who. Here are the updated pix

Now we're talking! Looks like one piece!

Okay guys I decided to make the rear look longer by cutting out the wheel wells and putting them on opposite sides.

Cuts are rough lol, but will be perfect after sanding.

Here is one side of it mounted.
It is taped because it is filled with weld from the opposite side of the body.

Are you planning to put the front-to-rear ribs in the roof too, or leave it smooth like a truck/K5? The removeable roof with 4 doors reminds me of the Centurion F350/Bronco builds of the early '90's... but cooler because it's a Chevy.

Way ahead of you brotha lol

The camper is going to be permanently mounted/filled next week when my parts come in. So it'll be like one piece

Here is the body with the weld before body filler. Also trimmed the rear correctly

Filled the gas tank cover as this is a 77. (The cap is right on the body)

Getting closer..
