Here's my work in progress (72 suburban)

[bagged91]

Doesn't look too bad to me. Needs the inner rockers fab'd up and a little patching on the floor braces. I see it has Rear A/C too That's nice... Check the rear of the body underneath where the tailgate hinges are. The cross sill tends to rot on them there... Also, pull your back seat out, there is going to be rot on the bottom of the blank door and probably were the floor rises up to the wood floor. Also, while your into it, check the B pillars where they "bolt" to the floor brace. My Ohio burb on the drivers side was completely rotted off in that area... All in all, looks like you have the makings of a fun truck! Welcome to the board...

Thanks Joe, Yeah the tailgate area was a mess, the guy put in the verticle doors which are ok but I'd rather have the tailgate. I patched up that mess to the best of my ability. It looks like I have my work cut out for me. I will keep you posted on the progress!
