I used a 66 long bed frame and cut it down to the 115 inch I still have a full suburban rolling frame I spent so much time and money on the long wide frame I decided to use that I was building the truck until I found he suburban.thanks!

Re: started working on the 65 suburban
The C10 Suburban has the same wheelbase as a short wheelbase C10. The Suburban frame will have body mounts from the rear of the doors, back, instead of bed mounts. Also the rear of the Suburban frame will be shaped to accept the Suburban rear bumper. The truck frame will have a square cut on the rear end of the frame. Otherwise they are the same.

Is this a photoshop image? Or did you delete the drivers side windows to make a panel?
