Re: My suburban ..Somthing a little different

Thanks Guy's Ill get it cleaned up and snap some more pics of it tomorrow..I told the wife I was going to sell my c10 to just focus on the burb and she about flipped..We had a super clean 91 burban I decided to sell because it was way to clean for what I wanted to do with it..This is my super low budget burban build and for it not being to jazzy Im really happy with it..

Re: My suburban ..Somthing a little different

love it bro! my wife thinks i am crazy for buying old stuff, she said (on the side of the road broke down in my burb and she had to bring me some parts to fix it) "you have a brand new car in the garage and you are out here at 10 at night working on your old truck, you must really love this" LOL
