Just noticed you're a fellow 'gonian. Whereabouts?

NEWFISHER · 10-14-2014, 11:32 PM

Eugene area. You doin PIR this weekend?

Ratpin · 10-15-2014, 12:10 AM

Oh yeah I forgot about that. I will definitely be there! Do you have a spot?

NEWFISHER · 10-15-2014, 12:15 AM

No spot at the fall swap. Have a giant one in the spring on the track.

NEWFISHER · 10-27-2014, 01:27 AM

This is awesome!

**oldman3** · 10-27-2014, 10:35 AM

Sweet....Jim

**TBONE1964** · 10-27-2014, 11:33 AM

It was an honor to get a chance to help work on such a beautiful ride. You should see it in person. Very unique.

Looks great!

NEWFISHER · 10-27-2014, 02:55 PM

Thanks guys, can't wait to get the IFS done. I wish there was more of these and the 40-46 trucks on the road. It would have been nice ordering everything from Nate at Porterbuilt or Borris and just welded some pre cut stuff together. When you buy a dropmember or a rear kit and you squeak at the price, that sound you just made is a ripple in the pond of creativity and engineering these guys went through to pre fab the stuff they sell just so we enthusiast don't beat our heads against the wall.

Now that's bad ass. Artillery would look good on it.

earl84 · 10-27-2014, 06:40 PM

That is a VERY cool truck. I don't think I have ever seen one before.

I had never seen one in person. They are much narrower and slightly taller than the 47-54 burbs and extreamly narrower than the 60 up rigs. I remember seeing the red with black fender 46 on the cover of Hemmings. From all the research I have collected since owning it, they are uber rare with the war in between build years and I probobly should have kept it stock, but im the guy that shoots the collectable rifle.

knomadd · 10-28-2014, 12:09 PM

Wow, that's cool! I'll follow along.

collectable belong in a museum everything else is meant to be used and enjoyed

I hope I can see this thing at some point.

The only thing I might recommend (if were mine) would be to color match those running boards. Other than that, perfection!

Thanks for the links.

I have a 50 like the first one and the second link is a 46 truck. A suburban is very difficult to find in person. There are a few out there on the interwebs and 2 that just sold last year( a green/ black and a red/black).

Even the pre 47 section on the forum is a ghost town and 99.9% trucks.

Swing by anytime...you can grind off the rubber bedliner and I will spray them red

it bugs me too, but my wife loves it. " wow babe, my feet don't slip on these in the rain" she says

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
