1966 Chevrolet Suburban
2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer chassis swap, including TBSS floor. It was AWD, I converted to 2WD. The Suburban body was shortened 3 inches behind the doors to fit the wheelbase of the TBSS chassis. I did the work myself and it is very solid. 2X4 box tubing has been used to reinforce the rockers to maintain rigidity and structure. Probably overkill, but I wanted to make sure it was sound. I have many photos of the build and can forward them on request, with an email address.
