262's '86 K20 'Burban thread

[ericjon262]

well, I started a thread almost 1 year ago about my dad's 86 K20 Suburban getting T-boned. unfortunately, in that year, almost nothing good has happened to the suburban, I bought a door in an attempt to get the truck road worthy, but it won't close right because the body is tweaked out of wack.

it now sits something like this.



I'm going to attempt to straighten the body and get the door closing again, but I'm not counting on anything, it's way off (over an inch in some spots.) if we can straighten it, we're going to put a K5 blazer top on the back give it a lift, and some other fun stuff.

if we can't, I'm going to talk my dad into cutting the whole roof off and adding rollbars like this photochop.



Progress will be slow(I've already got enough on my plate...) but I'll try my best to keep this thread updated.

Could you post up more pics of the damage? That looks like it's too nice to cut in that picture.

I can see what you are planning this one was for sale locally sorry for the small pic
Bruiser here is a pic of the damage to his burban

yeah, the pic show's the f'd up door, but the whole frame around the door is the real problem.
