CLASSIC 1957 MUD HOG
 |
 |
 |
| Our '57 project begins with a Blazer 6-cylinder chassis and a set of 44" Boggers on turquoise steel. | ||
 |
 |
 |
| For proper tire clearance our Cameo body had to be placed way up high. | ||
 |
 |
 |
| When the cab, front end and Pre-splits are hung, we noticed, for proper radiator clearance on our new big block, the engine had to be set back an additional 5" from the stock location - this may hold true for many body/chassis swaps. | ||
 |
 |
 |
| The door window plugs are removed and the doors are clamped in place and then hinged. | ||
 |
 |
 |
| Our tubbed Cameo bed also requires modification. To adjust the Cameo bed to the Blazers short wheel base - 9" had to be removed from the bed assembly to produce an extra short '57 Pick-Up. When jigging and alignment was complete - the entire assembly was shipped off to the chassis shop to be fitted for proper body and frame mounts and for a cage to be welded in place. | ||
