You can always buy one of each.

I'd still like to see a CUCV long bed STEPSIDE created.

That would most definite be an ideal situation to own both a CUCV Truck and Blazer.

What to choose..............what to choose........

I'd still like to see a CUCV long bed STEPSIDE created.

I like that look also. I googled some longbed Chevy's and for sure 1980 Chevy's were available in longbed stepside, possibly more year models from the 80's. Maybe you can find a bed if you dig deep enough on the web. Finding one seems much harder than actually making the swap. If someone does this swap please post pictures!

Temp . is 75 deg. now. I dont mind painting when it is 55deg. plus . The paint lays down real flat / smooth . I really like this waterborne paint from Sherwin Williams .

Moved truck into garage last week Was that fun, had to remove the front wheels and leave the jack under the axle and push it in with the backhoe .The truck just barely fit under the garage door by about a inch.
Did the Doghead starter relay modification today, Work well. SPECIAL THANKS TO DOGHEAD Also mounted both doors and radiator assy. Mounted shocks and longer brake lines. Will mount fender tomorrow.

Truck looks awesome

Well started putting the fenders on Friday and ended up denting the door and the fender trying to tweak them in some. Should have left them alone but I couldn't resist. So I have fixed the door and fender and repainted them Sunday morning , might put fender on tonight if I dont fall asleep . Buzz thats why I took a picture with my daughter and pup to show how high the truck sits. That is a 6"lift on rear and 8" superlift on front . Truck sit up in the back by about 1/4" just what I wanted.

Also thanks everyone for the compliment .
