1965 Suburban project

Hi everyone,

I just bought my first truck not too long ago. Im 16 and rebuilding this truck in shop class at school. Take a look tell me what you think!

it has a small block 307 out of a 72 c10 and turbo350 trans. Just put new manifold/carb/fuel pump/headers.

I might be coming going down to Phoenix in Nov. Nice to see a young guy rebuilding one of these trucks and not some ricer.

I've heard of them having issues with crappy fitment. One of the other threads the guy mentioned his was bad fitment. Just figured I'd letcha know. His were on his fenders. Its in the thread about the suburban converted to a hearse.
