Take a look at this thing. I would like to have this in the garage but I am not sure it will fit.

The wheels and stance make it! If not for those touches it would be just another stock height/appearing suburban. A clean one but not the standout it is now.

Nice unit....not radical but will stand out at any show.

And sport mirrors/double air/triple seats/woody....rare to see all those options together

**old Rusty C10** · 08-20-2013, 09:10 AM

I like it myself and im not a fan of lowering..... years ago I had a neighbor who had one 4X4 like that he used as a truck to go hunting

it would look better with 10 inch rallys on it

Hoods69BadBowTie · 08-20-2013, 01:40 PM

Wow that's one clean burb. I kinda like the way it looks. Done tastefully actually!

Holy cow! That car lot its linked to in that thread is in my hometown. I actually looked at that truck while it was there. I had no clue it was the same one. It is clean, clean an more clean if its the same one. I really would have liked to buy it but it was way out of my range....

Damon23 · 08-20-2013, 07:16 PM

I've been looking at a 78 that is up in Alabama cause I saw this one. Sold mine last night so I'm on the prowl again. I'd like to do a Suburban. Would be nice for the rod run and powertour. I'd like to have that one but I'd have to save my arse off and hope he still had it.

77BBGMC · 08-20-2013, 10:06 PM

I like it!

I hope you find a nice round eye man! Good luck!

I like it, except for the played out 5 spoke wheels. a little more drop and the factory steels painted white or something and it would be sweet.

walkerb · 08-21-2013, 08:52 PM

I see that its got a 73-74 dash bezel, but who doesn't put the vehicle year in a ad? Amazing

Its a '74 iirc

f.monroe · 08-21-2013, 10:03 PM

It has drip rails and a 73/74 grille so it should be a '74. I wish i had the boys to buy it but I still like my wife so I have to pass for now.

What a shame to see it lowered on those rims... looked awesome with the factory hubcaps and white walls. Wonder if he still has the hubcaps with it.

travo77 · 08-22-2013, 09:32 PM

I know what you mean Frank, there is one in town I've had my eye on for awhile looks to be all original just sitting there wasting away but I still like my wife so I just keep driving by
