66 Suburban from ID

[Ty77]

Hey just bought this 66 suburban a few weeks back, it's got a 327/t350 combo, it needs some work but it's a nice driving project minus the bent rear wheels and and a couple small issues like fuel sending unit wipers not currently functioning, but couldn't breat the price I got it for, I plan on putting porterbuilt front and rear stuff on it and set it up to use big wheels and steel wheels and wide whites....but I need to get rid of the flames and orange wheels ASAP, http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1358225119

Maple is the next road East of Gov't Way that runs North and South. That yellow house in the background just looks familar. My shop is off of Atlas about 2 miles South of Hayden Ave.

My poor Burb is outside covered in that white stuff. I'm hoping to drive it again this next summer......it's been 2 years

Oh yeah I know all about not getting to drive stuff, my last project tore it down and was 4years and sold it, and mines is parked in the back of a small body shop off of government way south of the papa Murphy's and Albertons, sounds like you a have a few cool projects, I originally was looking for a swb custom cab bw but couldn't pass this thing up, always loved em

I've seen that Suburban around town a few times, but I haven's seen it for a while. Do you think you will be driving it this summer?

[Ty77]

It will def be cruising this summer, I drove it a few days after I bought it but the vibration from the bent rear wheels wasn't fun going about 45mph, I bought it from a guy in clark that got it in July, from what I found with paperwork in the glove box he got it from someone from hope, I remember seeing it on Craigslist a few years back or one like it.

What shop is yours?

My shop is on Hern Ave, which is just south of Hanley. It's the big red building on the right.

[Ty77]

Oh ok, doesn't sound like it would be hard to miss

Great find!! Good luck with your build...keep us up to date with pics.

[donthekawguy]

Cool Burb! I don't know how I missed that one. You guys set a date and I'll show up for a meet. In the summer there are a bunch of older guys that meet at Burger Heaven out here in Rathdrum every Wednesday at 6. Not really my crowd but they are nice and everyone is welcome.

[Ty77]
