1972 slow build

[Waders]

Hello all, long time listener, first time caller. I've been lurking on this site for a long time and finally decided to start a build thread to showcase what I've learned from you all and what I've picked up along the way. There is so much valuable information on this site and hopefully I can add a little more.
My love for this body style probably started when I was very young. My dad had a 72 K10 that he bought brand new and drove until I totalled it for him(elderly lady turned in front of me..pretty much a 45 mph head on collision). When we were young my dad, brother, and I built a 70 blazer that was rolled and fixed. When they fixed it they cut and left the back of it and put a 67 cab and front on it. Looked like a super short box. My brother drove that for a couple years but wanted something more modern. I bought the truck from him and I still have it 25 years later.
I liked those trucks but for some reason always wanted a suburban. I was at a point in my life where I was able to start a project so I started searching. I found a few locally but none were exactly what I was looking for. Here in Montana there are very few 2wd burbs and that was my #1 criteria. I expanded my search and found one in eastern Washington. It was non-running but not molested and 100 percent complete.
Plans for the suburban:
replace/upgrade suspension with lowered components,
LS power,
Nice interior,
Eventually body and paint.
I had intentions of just doing the bear minimum to get it on the road but after 10 years I'm still not there. Project creep at its finest.
Pictures to follow
