I posted last month when I tore the old body off this chassis, got to working on it yesterday. Rebuilt the front end and got the thing painted. Then today I started tearing into the truck that will be using the body off of. Here is what I have so far. Going to paint the motor tomorrow. I hope to have it swapped this weekend.

Nice job Joe. That is exactly what I thought of doing with Andrews truck with that frame I bought from you but the factory air thing I couldn't live without. That is the quick way to make a nice truck. Mark

Coming right along nicely.That`ll look great as a Bronze/White K/20.

Here is the motor, got most of it painted and put back together yesterday. It was a 50k original mile truck so I didn't do anything to the motor but valve cover gaskets. Not sure if I will get the body swapped this weekend now or not?

Very nice way to short cut to a nice truck..

Looks like your off to a nice start, is that a York compressor on that motor?

That's going to be a sweet 4X4. Will be watching for updates.

Rob, Yes it is a York compressor. I want to keep the under dash a/c and charge it up.

When you decide 2 build another BLAZER just drive down here in that Black
dually in you avy and take "GQ" back with you. That way you'll get a head
start and I get what I have always wanted. Sounds like a win win to me :D

BTW - I have the same compressor for my air ride, could you get me some
high res detailed pic's of those brackets? ( luv2xclr8@charter.net ) Thanks

Great Job Joe. Man that engine looks great can't wait to see the rest. I want it back now

Andrew, You are first in line when the truck is done!!

Luv, I sent you some pics

Luv, I sent you some pics

TYVM ;)

Well, Sunday was a good day!! I got the body swap done. Here are some pics!! I just got the truck back home today. I used a buddy shop to do the swap.

Joe that truck is looking great you got me itching to do another body swap. are you going to put body side mouldings or leave it plain?

Had any thoughts of breaking down both sets of wheels and transferring those bigger tires to the newer alloy wheels? I think that'd look pretty badass! Then again, it looks like you're going for the original kickass look, with no modernizing? Either way, it looks awesome and you are really making some head way on it!

Man that's looking good, what size tires are those? 235/85's?

Look like "75" series.I vote leave the stock-like wheels:cool:.

that is going to look sharp! I may have to start selling a few things to see if I can buy it when your done!

Thanks guys!! I am going for a bone stock look.
I am not real crazy about the newer wheels on these trucks. The tires are
LT265/75/16
I am not going to add any trim to the truck, allthough I think it would look good.

I had a friend punch out a set of hub caps for the front, but I kind of like the no hub cap look!!! I will get more pics as I move along. I might be stuck on it for a week or so, I am going out of town for a few days.

P.S. Its for sale too!!

Joe there is a steering wheel at chevy duty saddle the color you want on the clearance table.

Joe, I hate to back-track, but in the pic with the engine, is there a huge chunk out of that drivers side front rim, or is that just me?

And I must say, the truck looks damn good!

No chunks out of any of the wheels. These wheels are actually new take off's from a 1987 Chevy truck, this is the paint from the factory!!! They have been in boxes for all those years!!!

Wow Joe, That is going to be a very nice truck!

Well, After a busy few months I got back on the 4x4 this week. I drove it around the block tonight!!! Just a few more things to do and its done!! I built it to resell, but I sure would like to keep it!!!

Andrew, Its got your name written all over it!!!

Man it looks great I would love to have it back. You do great work and Detail. Your going to have to PM where you are at on it.

Joe, Really looks great!

Andrew better not snooze on this one!

Mike can I get a loan:)

I'll bet you're credit is good with Joe. He'd probably let you hide it fom the wife somewhere too!

Nice looking truck!:D

Ok Joe put me on the slow hide from my wife payment plan. :)

Andrew, Do you still have the storage space rented?

I got the exhaust on it today and a few other parts!! Andrew, you better come take a look :)

Well, Its is basically done! I think I am going to paint the under side of the hood though. I need to change the door panels too. These pics didn't turn out very good, but I was excited about getting some pics tonight!!! Ill get better ones when I get it all cleaned up.

I'll get a hold of you this week:)

Maybe I should just drive it over to your place!!

The truck turned out great Joe! Are you going to use the bumper guards and if not what are you doing with them?I think some bumper guards and some hooks would finish it off! I'm just curious,what do you think you'll sell it for?

Joe come on by anytime.

I thought I liked the bumper guards, but decided not to use them. I will probably sell them.
Not sure what to ask yet?? I was thinking 10-12k???? What do you think??

Joe, Paint the hood & polish the firewall. Did you ever imagine it would turn out this good? It is just outstanding! Looks excellent. You say $10-$12K, I don't know what the market will bear, but $10,000 is a bargain and we've both seen crappy 4 x 4's bring higher on ebay.

Joe
I would say your right in the ball park. The one on eBay in Iowa a month ago brought about $6500 and it was not as clean as yours by any means. It happens to be my color but for me I would need factory air and my 72 GMC K25 does not have that either. That's why I have thought of a factory air body swap on that K20 chassis I got from you. I know I wouldn't part with my GMC for less than $7500. I like your factory hubcaps and white wheels. Very showroom look. Is that a spray on liner over the rails or a bed liner?
Mark

Heres a better pic I took today.

Is it rude of me to be drooling over your truck?

Man that is sharp!!!!!

I wish I had the money to buy it from you! looks great! if you dont sell it by christmas I may be interested!

Mark, It has a spray in liner.

10-12 k for it sounds about right.I wish I had the money,I really really like that truck.I'll just trade you all my 67-72 4wd projects for it! :lol:

I just seen and road in this great truck. Pictures does not do this thing justice. Rides great, looks great. Now all I have to do is rob a bank so I can get oh I mean go dig up a few can in the back yard. Joe great job I'll let you know here soon.

Joe can I get a loan I want that truck:)

Ok, Its all done! What do you think?

Looks awesome!!

Joe Looks great
