Comments: Arguably one of the more radically modified '67-'72 C-10's built. Thousands of professional man hours went into the construction of this innovative machine. Originally a long bed pickup, not a Blazer, the bed was grafted to the cab to create the unibody design. A stiff 4"X4" tube chassis was constructed to ensure the bed stay attached to the cab. The front and rear wheels have both been moved forward to give the truck its 109" wheelbase. The rigid chassis, short wheel base, and low stance allow the truck to corner extremely well. I have put 2,700 miles on the odometer since its completion. Although it drives great, what makes it really stand out are the countless body modifications. Most notably the hundreds of inches of welding it took to reshape the hood, the dash that mimics the shape of the side of the truck, and the back end of the vehicle which was created from scratch. The truck has a very aggressive stance and look to it. You get so many double takes and people scratching their heads it feels as though you're riding in a Ferrari or some exotic car because the body is so uniquely shaped. Truly is one of a kind. I built the truck mainly for myself to drive so I have only had it to 3 major West Coast car shows. If you like awards it seems to do very well. Was shot last summer for Street Trucks magazine although I'm not sure when the magazine will come out. Will be at the Salem, OR Roadster Show March 7th & 8th. Will also be at the Portland Roadster Show March 20th-22nd. Feel free to ask any questions, thanks Scott!
