Re: started working on the 65 suburban
 

Nice progress. But I see a problem...there are a lot of parts in these pictures that apparently ended up at the wrong house. I knew I was missing some stuff. ;) Nice to see somebody making progress, seems to be coming out well.

Re: started working on the 65 suburban
 

How come you had to cut the frame and stitch it together?

Re: started working on the 65 suburban
 

It was my long wide bed frame i already had all the bag work and c knotches all done so it was easier to shorten the frame than redo the suburban frame

stay tuned i just got the body on!!!!! Pics soon!!!!!

Re: started working on the 65 suburban
 

where did you find the mounts?
ron

Re: started working on the 65 suburban
 

i got the truck mounts for the main mounting (4 front) and the small square mounts(rear) were in decent shape so i am going to reuse them.

Re: started working on the 65 suburban
 

only the frt 2 cab mounts work. the ones at the "B" pillar take the small rectangular ones as like the rest of the rear ones
