Even though I picked up a new truck while back in FL, I didn't totally neglect the suburban. We almost got everything painted red, but ran into a small paint problem. Hopefully by the end of the week everything will be red and the roof will be white......Here's a few pictures of my 68 SWB I picked up and some of the suburban progress.

hey rob, was that truck jsut got on ebay, i could of sworn it was, if that is the one i think you got a good deal on it, and i hate dealing with paint issues, they suck.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Nice score on the 68! DD-Duty?

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

I agree!!

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Thanks! It's an early retirement present....:). I haven't made any videos yet or got to silly with it since the suspension was heated to get it lower. Once I get that and a few other things corrected, I will take it to the track to see what it can do.....:devil:

Yeah, it's the one from Ebay. I'm VERY happy with it. I just plan on a few upgrades, new drop coils, shock relocator, adjustable pan hard bar, take the tank and battery out of the bed, put the shifter back on the column, hook up the power steering.......just some stuff to make it more driver friendly. We just had a problem getting the paint matched. We finally got it figured out, but it cost us a couple of days.

Thanks! Daily driver/shop truck are the plans. It's a blast to drive, literally, :D.

Thanks. Did you ever get the lowering stuff for your suburban?

Thanks. Another "teaser" shot......

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

u decided on wheels yet?

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

I'll probably go with TTII's or a set of polished Coys....

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

it is going to be a very nice burb.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

wow man that truck has come along way for sure...keep up the *****in work!!!

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

OH my god I want that 68, that's so sneaky. Old man outside, supercharged inside!

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Thanks LD. I'm getting excited about getting it finished. It's been a longer journey than I thought...

Thanks!

It's not supercharged, it's just got a bad alternator bearing, ;).

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Burb is looking great :metal:

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

bring that 68 over here and lets have a burnout party!

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Looking good man! I gotta get going on mine here soon.... she has been sitting in the corner of the shop looking lonely for weeks now....

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

right :lol:

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

I would recommend the TT II's over the polished Coys. The Coy's finish isn't that great. Your 'burb really needs a nice set of Billet Specialties wheels!
I wish I had your body man in my area.
Very NICE work.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Rob,

Nice truck! I might be able to help you out with the lowered coils. Once I get my truck on the other chassis, I am not going to need the 4/6 drop coils. Rear suspension is almost done and front should be bolt in, thanx Porter.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

i agree, this burb deserves the best!:metal:

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Thanks Luv, it's finally coming together.....

You know it Brotha! Sorry I didn't get up with you when I came in. I'll be back for good mid August and we'll do some cathing up....

You know "burb abuse" is not tolerated around here...........:lol:.

You'd be suprised how many people fall for that.....;).

Thanks Jamison. When you coming over to take a look? Do I have to hold your parts for ransom? :) Let me know about the lowering coils.

I'll probably end up going with TTII's, I just haven't quite decided yet.... Load it up on a trailer and bring it down, I'm going to need a job in about 6 months.....:D.

I've been pretty set on the TTII's, but I don't want to wait a year to get them.....

No "teaser" shots... you want a teaser shot I'll give you one of a rear end ....
