Back in the day I tore the Jeep apart to fix it...and then parted it out and went Chevy. Built the monster Blazer and then killed the body/frame. Now I'm thinking about joining them. Stretched Jeep, Fuel Injected Chevy V8, locked one tons, hydraulic steering...full cage....LOTS of WORK! ~eek Drivetrain  . Jeep - as it was. Body fram axle engine trans/case left. Anyone need a Jeep drivetrain?   |

Not up for the work/expense. I may end up just sticking tube on the blazer. It still runs and drives. |

Id slice the sides off of the jeep and attach them to the Blazer frame, split the cowl and put it over the chevy cowl and splice a piece in the ctr. Use the jeep windshield frame, lengthened of course. But no biggie with the flat glass... Then make a wide Jeep hood. Stock grill with tube fenders. Bad Ass looking rig. A full size Jeep!

I heard there was a shop in Spring Valley that could do stuff like that. I wonder how much they'd charge to do it if I was to suddenly get rich somehow.... |

I've got some used plywood we could build a body for the chevy with. ~hammer
Just think how easy it will be to drill the body mount holes. ~clap
Plexi glass windshield, Milk crate for the seat and we'll duct tape you in for safety! ~punk
You game? I can start the design today.
