Curious if anyone has ever chop topped a 73-91 suburban? If so do you have any pics?

tvblazer78 · 12-19-2009, 05:41 PM

I don't think anyone on here has, but I have seen one before.

The one I saw had a big chop and did not look that good, if you do one just take out 2"-3"out. Much more then that it just makes it look longer..

I have been thinking about it, my bud has a parts burb and I may try to pick it up and do one.

justpball · 12-20-2009, 05:25 PM

i think 2 would be the best!

motornut · 12-21-2009, 09:47 AM

lol chop up,or off??

motornut · 12-21-2009, 09:53 AM

but i did see a guys sub conversion to jimmy at back

CB24 · 12-21-2009, 10:30 AM

That's pretty cool but don't think it would go with a 2wd suburban. Its an awesome idea for a 4wd though.

I think this one could work as a 2wd drive as long as you didn't go so low that you had to ditch the rear seat. It would be odd, but I think it could be pretty cool. Could you imagine people calling back seat in the summer time instead of shotgun?

justpball · 12-21-2009, 10:44 AM

I have always wanted to do that!

CB24 · 12-21-2009, 11:15 AM

Ok, I had a friend play around on photoshop & I can now see why not many people have done this. There's a lot to have to line up. Its definitely do-able but not sure its worth the effort to only lower the roof 2".

*BGRAFX* · 12-21-2009, 11:18 AM

I had drawing to do that 5yrs ago, but don't have the skill or the tools to do the work. It's like and old school avalanche.

Justpball...someone on here did do a suburban chop top. I can't remember his screenname though. I think he currently has 2 older suburbans laying frame, his is a 62 and he just built a 72 burb for his son.

63chevyll · 12-21-2009, 10:00 PM

thats bad azzzz,

ive been thinking of a suburban build a shortend 4x4 on a 1ton chassis

texasfunk · 12-22-2009, 04:12 PM

CB24 · 12-22-2009, 04:26 PM

When you look at a roof chop that much i consider it a vehicle for little people.It just doesnt look right.

thanks
pat

*BGRAFX* · 12-22-2009, 05:22 PM

looks terrible but I admire the hard work. what kind of hood is that? and the 73-80 front bumper looks weird. But I do like the racing stripes and the SS grill badge lol

Shaved bumper bolts

Chlsnk · 01-17-2010, 12:07 PM

It would look alot better with out those big black plastic mirrors and chrome bumpers. IMHO

justpball · 12-22-2009, 05:35 PM

looks like a homemade cowl, it might look better if it was slammed!

68Timber · 12-22-2009, 05:51 PM

Chop, rally stripes, SS badging, and 31" rear tires.

He almost had it...

It would look better lowered.

yea, when i as alot younger i always saw it and thought it was the coolest thing ever! then i saw it there at a car show this summer and was like wow, i liked tht? lol, in my opinion its too much chop, unless it was slammed with wide slicks and a blower

My thoughts exactly. That would've been my next step on that suburban, tub the back, stuff the biggest slicks I could fit & slap on a blower. As is it looks unfinished to me but like what it could be.
