Parting out 83 Toyota Pickup Trailblazer conversion

I kind of feel bad because so few were made but I can't keep it. Too many projects and not enough cash. With big items like the front end and tranny already gone, it becomes a much bigger project for someone. $500 would take the whole truck including motor, transfer, rear end but minus the small things already sold. This thing is posted everywhere so the inquiries are rolling in now. Only a matter of time before it becomes beyond being a viable project.

Various pics are here http://www.putfile.com/pnkey/images/116055
Woodgrain doesn't have any cracks, maybe a couple blemishes and is in overall great shape. Don't have a pic up of the woodgrain on the drivers side but I can get one tonight and maybe a little better pic of the center section. Wanting $50 plus shipping for the woodgrain dash plates (driver and center), that includes heater controls, ashtray, radio, EQ, and cig lighter, the whole deal. I'd have to pull to figure shipping. I'll be pulling the column tomorrow night so I can pull that stuff as well. I'll know a little more on weight after that.

Did any of the pics help your archive? I could take a few more body shots but stuff is missing now.

Kind of curious how Griffin (I think they were the company that did trailblazers) did the bed metal or fiberglass...The Trekkers have got a fiberglass bed. How about the rear hatch or tail gate/lift top like a traditional pick up.
The Trailblazer rear seat look interesting too...I would be interested in seeing some more pic's too if you get the chance.
thanks, Robb

thanks .. yes .. pics were ok .. more body shots would have been nice .. but "beggers can not be choosy" I "stole" a couple of them .
Trekker is the only full fiberglass unit .. it was toyotas 3rd attempt , and I think finally got it right . wolverine , and trailblazer were steel beds with fiberglass toppers .
it's to bad it being parted ..
so .. 1 more question ? is the griffen tag numbered # ? I would really like to get my hands on that .. you think I might have it ? just to save it ..

As for parting, well, can't say it was the easiest decision but sometimes you have to do what you have to do.
It does have the badge on the dash and it is numbered. Not sure if it'll come off without harming the dash. I think there's a tag in the glove box too, but can't remember if it has the number or not.

if it comes off with out damage .. tha'd be cool .. I will presurve it . (heat gun would probably work)
if not .. oh well I guess ! all I can say is I tried
ohh by the way .. I will pay for the stamp .

Looks like Griffin did a little better job of the joint between the cab and the bed than Winnebago:

I think there's a rollbar under that trim. The back end of the cap had the same type of trim and it definitely had a rollbar. I got a kick out of the little courtesy lights visible in the center of the post. Had one in the rear as well. Looks like it was well thought out but maybe ahead of its time. Didn't see a Trekker pic if you meant to include one...

I see what you mean. On the flipside, looks like the trekker top could at least be taken off if you wanted. The trailblazer top doesn't look like it was ever meant to be removed at all. If it can be removed without the help of a sawzall, I'm just not seeing it. Other than a few visible screws and bolts, it appears to be literally glued/epoxied to the top and over the side of the bed rails. Makes me thankful for the ease of going topless in my 4 runner.
