Project: 1972 502 HO 4x4 Suburban

Well I actually started this project a couple years ago, but I thought I'd go ahead and start a project thread for it. I'll get you all up to speed where it is now and then start posting as I make more progress.

Started out with a 1972 3/4 ton 2wd Suburban. This is what it looked like just before I drove it to the body shop. I stripped it down about as far as I could and still be able to legally drive it down to the shop.

Instead of converting the 2wd chassis to 4wd, I bought a 4x4 truck frame and started building a 4x4 suburban chassis from there. This is the way to go when coverting to 4x4, especially since I was pulling the body off anyway. I put on 4" Tuff Country springs, a Dana 60 front, and a 14 bolt detroit locked rear.
