I hate to reveal my ignorance about the old Suburbans, but is that wooden headliner original or a custom touch you did? I'm assuming custom along with the wood floor too. How about the roof rack? Original or something more modern that you adapted to the 'Burb?

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

the bed , is raised up , as my chassis is a 1994 full size chevy , channeled and suspension dropped, the gas tank is still half under the cab and the box,
so i bolted 3/4 plywood in , counter sunk the heads , then went to menards and got some construction glue, and brad nailed the car siding on top of the 3/4 plywood and stained it. cost of bed approx 160.00 to do the floor

Thats a nice looking wood bed :metal:

Man that Suburban is sweet. I love the stance. Welcome to the board.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Welcome Guys!

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

the suburbans had a cardboard headliner and a plywood floor but the rack is original. did you notice the side trim? not found on suburbans. I had to shorten long bed trim to fit.

thanks for the comments... clem

Man that's some awesome looking help you have there! Welcome to the board from Alabama. Truck is coming along nicely.

Yesterday I pulled the chrome stake pocket anchors and installed Perrycraft Mini-tube bed rails. They're similar to the original style, but not as tall above the bed sides. Took a couple of shots earlier today:

Cool shot, lurking in the woods!

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Here is my 65 EVLPMKN.

I joke aroud and tell people that this is my suspension upgrade gone wild.

What started out as a 4" front 6" rear drop, power/front disk brake upgrade, and suspension rebuild turned into a total frame off rebuild with a few custom touches.

I built this truck at home in my girage.This was my first project and I did all the work my self (98%) with a little some help from close friends and a few new ones I made along the way. It was a great lerning experience, most of the time I loved it and other times I lost my temper in frustration.


I need to take some new interior pics since I finished the interior this summer. I can add them later.

I know you are tired of hearing me talk so here are a few pics of my truck. I have thought about making a post build thread if anyone is intersted. I have a tone of Pics.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Here are the under side pics.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

beautiful!

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

EVLPMKN, what size wheels and tires are you rolling on there. Looks good.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Hell I wish I could do a suspension upgrade like that to my truck.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Very impressive. Unbelievable for a first time project. Nice work and great result. I'll bet every student knows who you are!

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks

My class room walls are covered in music and car posters :metal: I dont drive it to work very often due to my insurance policy. When I do I lock it up behind the school cafateria.

Thanks! I never thought I could build it this nice when I started. I think all my years of studying and performing music has taught me to pay close attention to every detaial, large or small.

Some parts I painted 3 to 4 times to get it right.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

WOW that is clean
i vote on doing the build thread we would love to see it

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks

Attachment 509960
Not mine but a picture of this work horse should be included. Spotted in a very small Idaho back woods town. Wanted to check out the 4 wheel drive but a big guard dog refused access.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

damn! EVLPMKN, your truck is off the hook!
Among other things, i like your gas tank...is that from CPP? How was the install? Sorry, dont mean to hijack the picture thread but this truck is beyond clean.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
