Cherubs 4x4 suburban
Well i sold the 1978 burb in order to pick up a something 4x4. I settled on this 1983 3/4t GMC suburban. I didnt really want to create a build thread but still wanted to use this to bounce question off yall. Keeping it all in one place.
I didnt bother getting good pictures of it when i bought it but here are some cell phone pics. Here is the tires i plan on using 36x12.5x16.5 military tires. Lifted it with a 6" rough country springs in front and blocks & add a leaf...the blocks that come with the kit were cheap but i was lucky enough to have a friend some used ones. It didnt have carpet when i got it (later i found out why) so i added some for the passenger area. a few of the problems. It pulls hard to the right when i brake but tracks well when driving. im going to get it aligned after i put on the rims and tires next week if that doesnt fix it i guess ill try the calipers.... any thoughts? There is a leak in both driver and passenger floor boards(the reason there was no carpet when i bought it) it seems to be coming from the windshield rubber. other than that there is bad rust above the doors where the roof skin meets the door.... not sure what im going to do without major work.....
