Well I can't attach a tow hitch due to location of gas tank and it's a 2wd but I think 'mall crawlers' are 4wd truck who never leave the pavement. So your description is probably close but just needs a couple tweaks! :waytogo:

:Moon:

no towing=no need for big mirrors :D

OH wow for real??? I didn't realize the gas tank relocate would keep you from having a receiver hitch. Sure you could still use a ball on the drop bumper for something light weight, but no, all my project trucks have receiver hitches except one, and I'll be taking those off the 2 trucks I let go of and putting on my trucks. So, I'll have a receiver on all 3 of my projects I think I've decided to keep. No gas tank relocate for me.

:hmm: not sure if I could or not. Hrpc could be right about the bumper thing and I think with the sub/blazers there's more distance between the tank and the back if the vehicle.

Exactly. This is because of where the cross braces are attatched to the frame. They are strategically placed in the Burb/Blazer to accomodate the fuel tank where on trucks they are not.
