Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family
And the count down begins. 12 days until we head back to Colorado to bring the Suburban to California. I would like to thank my wife for FINALLY agreeing to go with me, my in-laws for watching the kids, and my brother for loaning me his truck!
That's right, February 14th we leave for Colorado. The plan is to be back by Monday. |
Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family

Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family
Well, we made it! We got snow going over the 70 and it was a little slow with only 2 wheel drive. So I will psot again after I have my whits about me. We drove straight there and straight back. I am out of it.
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-w...-50-29_615.jpg I don't have a very good picture of the trailer, but here it is. What do you think of my dinky spare? https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-L...-26-03_679.jpg The blow out. The nice thing about this trailer with the 16 inch wheels, it didn't drag the rim. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-j...-26-22_944.jpg The most important thing that got left in the trailer https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-3...4-27-36_81.jpg |
Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family
Well I spent the night getting the suburban dug out of the trailer. There is some obvious damage that is new, and so far I think I only lost one piece of glass in the accident. It is too dark and windy for pictures, so I will try to take some tomorrow. All four of the casters I had welded on the frame broke, so I have to remove them or something else to get it out of the trailer.

Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family
Where do you talk about "the accident"? Is that how the trailer got banged up?

Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family

Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family
This was the most nerve wracking thing about unloading the Suburban. If you know what these tracks are from, than you know why I didn't want to come face to face with it in a confined space!
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-h...1_856D4A3D.jpg It turned out the raccoon had vacated. this was probably the worst of the body damage. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-a...-49-15_941.jpg Rockers and 3rd door damage. The rockers were in need of replacement already. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-d...0_2A2E643C.jpg This may be easier to replace than repair. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-C...2_8E1119E0.jpg As of now the suburban will be taking a back seat to my brothers crew cab. The only thing that might happen will be the b-pillars getting built at the same time. I will still work on it to stay busy! |

so... I am going to put it back together. No resto, just back to a driver. I have everything except for the interior. thank you wildlife for that one. So, While I am building the 4th door on my brothers truck, I will finish the 4th on mine too. I will also start sorting through my big pile of parts and using what I want to keep, or run-for-now, and selling the rest. I just want to drive it again. It may be a while before I get to paint, but there is no reason it can't be a work in progress! |

Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family
Well I brought home some parts for the Suburban to take care of this problem. This thing rode ROUGH!!! I also have some 47" long lift springs I am tempted to use up front.
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-p...ckle%25203.JPG I am finishing up some work on my Yukon and my Dad's Honda so that this week I can work on my brothers truck and the 4th door on the Suburban. It is getting warm enough (by that I mean HOT!!!!) that I will be running in the mornings instead of the evenings, which means more time on the truck and the burb! |
Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family
Chipping away at little things when I can...
finally finished this up... only to have another one I am going to use instead. Long story short, I am dropping in a 700r and the adapter I have is for a 10 spline case. I didn't want to tear this one apart. The build for the t-case is in my signature. It only took me 2 years! https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-t...200548_740.jpg |
Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family
