I found my way back...
Ok so some of you might remeber me, but I began my membership here on the forums all the way back in 2002. Back then I had a Red 72' Chevy SWB that was bagged. Then came college, so the 72' had to go in Winter 05'. Since I was moving out of state, the classic truck bug had to take a seat on the back burner for a while. Fast-forward to today and you've got me back in the scene after i graduated with my Associates Degree in Diesel Technology, except this time with a new Ride and a Real Job LOL!
Heres the scoop on the next truck and plans; -72' Suburban 1/2 ton 2wd -All Stock, right now with a little ISUZU DIESEL (thats right! LOL) and a 4 spd trans. -Extremely straight and little to no rust! The Plan; -Remove Eng/Trans.(Dad's using them in his 66' SWB Project) and swap in a nice little SBC Chevy and Auto Trans. -Suspension will be of the fully bagged-type and wheels will consist of some 18" rolling stock. -Cosmetics will stay mostly the same, except for a few spots to be cleaned up such as removal of those big ugly mirrors and factory Cab marker lights etc. Right now the plan is to build a nice little cruiser thats close to stock body-wise but will hover just inches off the ground on some nice big shiny rollers ![]() Anyways, heres some pics-the red truck was my old Bagged' 72' SWB (R.I.P.) and the second is the new project! Thanks for lookin and happy truckin'! Kenny

Re: I found my way back...
Welcome back!
I think your going the wrong direction with the Burb. Since you aquired your degree in Diesel Technology it seems only logical to have a hot rod with a diesel in it. Maybe not "that" diesel, but something you could build and put some of your newly aquired knowledge to use on.

Re: I found my way back...
Yeah, i know a hotrod diesel would be fun, and don't doubt that I've already pondered a 5.9 Cummins 12-Valve. The only problem is weight and cost. I would be looking at 3-5k for a good donor truck... Besides, Dad is using the Isuzu engine in his project and we plan on throwing a little turbo on it with an intercooler...shoul be a fun little project. Thanks for the comments guys!
