Not MINE.

I took my wife up to Big Bear this weekend for our 6th Anniversary, and saw this guy pulling into the hotel we were staying at. I asked him if I could snap a picture of his truck... Semper Fi, Marine!

I wonder whether or not that it is a GMC or a Chev(not that it matters) as it is sporting both a GMC grille and a bowtie emblem on the side + a chev hood

It's probably a Chevrolet due to the double hump dash. GMC's had single humps.

Love the oldschool flames on this suburban.,good looking suburban

tincan1966 · 12-31-2011, 08:49 AM

Can't seem to load pic from cell phone. But I got my front drop member installed and FE reassembled w/ airbags. Ride height puts front bumper 6 1/2" off the ground. Built the whole thing in house only bought the bags to finish. Will finish gussets and post pics later.

My god i have got to buy me a suburban, i have always wanted one and i planned on my next project after my 65 was to dust off the 67 and slap it back together than start on my 31 ford but i might have to find me a burb first.

GMCMG · 01-01-2012, 09:06 PM

My '66 project. My dream is to have it driveable by spring, but reality is probably something more like 'sometime this decade'. I'm a complete newb to this kind of work, so it will be slow going, lots of mistakes, etc.

I have wanted a suburban forever, just never thought I would be lucky enough to find one I could afford! This, too, started its life as a school bus, and owes many thanks to that life for the minimal Missouri rust!

tincan1966 · 01-26-2012, 07:36 PM

Just a cpl pics of the front suspension mocked up with my crossmember and bags

tincan1966 · 01-26-2012, 07:38 PM

Crossmember raised lower control arms 3", relocated factory upper control arm mounts, moved whole suspension forward 1" and added rack and pinion steering. All crossmember and brackets made in-house. Starting on rear suspension tomorrow and raising engine 1 1/2" for better rack clearance and also to level the engine F to R better. Still hoping to hit the All Truck Nationals in KC this year. Building her '59 Ford at the same time,so trading off on projects.

61burban · 01-27-2012, 09:52 AM

Love the Burbs...Were you lucky enough to get seats with it? i'm still looking for factory rear seats for the other former bus listed above. For the time being i'm thinging about only having a front seat in it. Fortunatly mine still has the origional wood floor and rubber mat with no damage so it looks kinda cool with enough room in the back to park a mini cooper lol.

gostranger · 01-27-2012, 07:44 AM

Looks like an awesom start!!!!
