Ok ... I'm trying to decide between a "Burbalanche(Suburban to pickup) or a K5 with the cab sealed off. I know they used to make a kit for this but having in years... multiple threads on Colorado K5 about that.. but i was thinking about cutting the front off of a K5 top and bonding it to a cab back to make my own kind of kit..... thoughts?? Ideas?? Reasons that is stupid and wont work?

What do you think about the Sublazer idea we were talking about on the old thread that you commented on? That's the winner for me.

It is probably the least complicated of everything we have discussed.. putting the blazer top on the burb but takes away the truck bed that i am looking for.. but the ones i have seen on line are cool... I hope i am going tonight to sell my convertible sportscar... free up so cash...
