The Corn Hauler!

Saw that and pretty much every other one on local/texas forums.

Keep in mind I already have the entire drivetrain that I want to use. I'm really looking for a good body to start with. I'd rather pay more for a good body to start from than have it running. I'd actually prefer it not running as it would probably be cheaper.

I actually like the Jimmy's better, as I think the grille looks bad ass.

what's your hangup on blazers (and jimmys)?
why not try and find something interesting to put your parts in, like a willys wagon or a waggy with a kaiser grille (does such a thing exist?)
probably wouldn't be much work than swapping everything from blazer-blazer
and what's wrong with your frame? Don't you have enough stuff welded to it at this point that you would want to keep it?

I think the 69-72 blazers just look kick ass and are completly convertible. Maybe I choose a blazer when I first bought a car because I liked them, make sense?

I also love the interiors of that year model too.

I have been trying to convince him to get a pickup of that generation because A) they are easier to find, B) they are more usefull and C) they are usually cheaper.

I think it's a kickass idea. That year model of blazer/jimmy is unique and would be awesome to have as a daily driver.

yeah but you were a dumb hikeschooler then and thought they were the baddest-ass offroad vehicle evar too, didn't you?
I like late-60s and early 70s c-10s but I think those should be lowered :D

kaiser wagoneers have crappy drivetrains.

he already has the drivetrain

oh, well good. and to answer your question- wagoneers were made during kaiser's ownership.

cool, now stop before I start to become knowledgeable on anything jeep-related. I just like those grilles and know they can be swapped onto some later waggys and j-trucks

Waggy with the kaiser grille? Or am I just retarded?

All I see is an X. And the grill ya'll are talking about is the "Gladiator".
