Was my daily driver from 1986 to 2000 when my wife bugged me that I needed a new truck for my contractor's business. Kept it parked and now(2 Dodge Rams later) I hope to put it back to use.

Since I'm here I'm about to post a thread asking for advice on adding '70-'87 integral power steering. Figure that the more places that I ask, the more likely I am to get an answer.

Wow! what a cool looking 4x4 burb, If possible please share some interior photos especially the dash area. Great to see it used as a daily driver for so long too, looking forward to hearing how you make out with the power steering upgrade. Thanks for sharing!

Nice! :chevy:

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

I'll get some other pics up soon. Weather not cooperating right now. Some back history on my truck. Wife and I had been to Baja two years running in an '78 VW Scirocco. 10 gal of H2O, 5 gal can of gas, camping gear, ice chest(lots of beer), food and two Australian Shepherds in a little VW. So I started looking for something more appropriate. Found a '70's Dodge Quadravan(pathfinder) on a lot in San Jose. When I tried to smog it all the emissions equipment was missing. Went back to the dealer. When he returned the truck all the equipment was wired on and it went from 12-14 MPG to about 7. That wouldn't do. Dealers are never allowed to sell a vehicle which has not been smogged. I knew it and so did he. Ended up with a cashier's check for my purchase price plus everything that I had spent on it even gas. At the advice of a local shop I was hunting for a '67-'72 4WD Suburban when I saw this for sale in a gas station in Walnut Creek. Guy wanted $3700. Didn't dicker just told him about the check and asked how to pay. Wish I had pictures of it then. Looked new. By the way I'm in Crockett near Vallejo. We're practically neighbors.

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

Thanks Johnny Burban, it's a fun rig. Can't say that I've ever seen your rig around in WA. I go to many of the shows, but can't make them all. Figured I'd have seen that nice of a burb at a show or two. :)

Cheers!

my 63

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

Great looking 63! are you driving this on the roads in Munchen?

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

Thank you! Yes-cruising Munich all summer long :-)

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

Cool! :metal: Thanks for sharing, & :welcoem:

62 arrived
 

Was feeling homesick just out of the container so a little comfort from an older brother helped on "jet lag"

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

What are the plans for your '62 Suburban sirJim?

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

Right now it is installing your brake clutch mount.
New 25 gal. tank.
Replace the 6 with a 283 .60 over and some goodies.

Make it legal for the Danish "DMV".
Including side blinkers and what ever else they have.

In time I have new seats would like to do the interior with dynamat and insulate then carpet all on hand just need the time.
Paint at some time way in the future ( wife is pissed at all the money it took just to get it here and pay for the import tax and sales tax).

It is in fantastic shape!
Looks like everything is original and kept up very nice.
Brakes great even the E-brake holds.
drives straight shifts perfect.
Both lower fenders in front as usual driverside outside skin most of the way back and that is just about it.
Rubber is in good shape but needs a windshield got most all of the rubber new anyway

The shipping company was rough on it though, used a forklift all over the place on it flatened the rusted exhaust scratched just about everything underneath, squished the tank lucky I already planed on the new one.

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

Even had the original spare tire hoist, mounted on the rear bumper.

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

Nice Suburbans, everyone....making me want one worse than I already do!

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

Congrats! :metal:

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

Looks just like the one I have :-)

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

Thanks, just trying to figure out how crazy I want to go with it :lol:

No kidding, they could be twins :lol:

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

This is my carryall, it's my first 60-66 carryall.
It's a 62 GMC.
I have a 400 Pontiac engine, 4L85E trans., Dana 60 3.54 posi 6 lug rear thats going in it.
I have a rendering of what it will look like once done that I'm posting.

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

^^^ Nice

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

Love those 62's! nice to have that rendering as an end goal in your project, looks great. My buddy just put a Pontiac 400 in his 66 GMC longbed, hope you are going to start a build thread.

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

That's going to be awesome

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

Is there a carryall/suburban build thread "area"?

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

Just got her lots to do but not in terrible shape.
Gauge cluster not idiot lights and I have the original 283 engine block so of we go.

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

That's a nice Burb. Rare 4x4 K14 with an original 283. Does yours have a/c? Most had a straight 6 cyl 292. Mines a 66 k14 clam shell Burb out of southern Cali but mine has the straight 6 cyl. 4 speed with three rows of seats.

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

I'm looking for a middle and rear floor mat for my 66 Burb restoration. Has there been any progress on good reproduction mats after the revelation of the gentleman in this thread offered his mint middle mat for reproduction purposes?

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

Sweet!

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

Your Burb has a nice look inside and out, curious if you did the custom upholstery yourself or if you purchased it this way? the 67-68 full wheel covers look good too. Need some side view pics ;)

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

Thanks! The upholstery was done by the previous owner, I've always liked those caps and made a trade deal for em, they will do until i swap to 5 lug and put supremes with pin whites on. will post side views when i get out

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

It has a very unique look that you don't often see on these year Burbs including the interior treatment. Always been a fan of Supremes with pin whites but hope you keep your current wheel setup so you can switch it up when/if you want, you rarely see those full wheel covers let alone on a Burb from this year, well done sir!

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

nice truck, i would like to see some more interior shots.

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

Looks good! so now we need more info on your suspension setup, drop spindles and lowering springs or? thanks for sharing the pics, this thread needed a little life before Xmas this year.

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

Cut coils in the front, removed the bump stops and brackets. The rear is 3in blocks. Going to notch and bag it soon. It doesn’t ride as terrible as I thought it was going to.
