This thing is cool!

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

Re: This thing is cool!

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.

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.

Re: This thing is cool!

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.
