Thanks, I can't take credit for the metal work. The guy in the first photo is responsible. His name is Joe Edwards and he is a real whiz when it comes to fabrication. He welded in the Camaro sub-frame and did the panel replacement. He had to fab the inner panels from scratch so there was something to weld the outer sheet metal to. Now it's back at my house and I only get to work on it as time and money allow, so it may take a long time to complete.

another fellow PA build, looks killer man. I bet they don't make most those patch panels like from the door back to the rear quarter. He prolly fabbed that piece up right? i hear ya on money, wow I been barely keeping up with my schedule bouncing around things that I don't need much money for. I'm now at the cross roads again, need money and to make it all worse, my gal lost her job. Its never ending man, hang in there.

Actually, I lucked out with the patch panels. They were in the back of the truck when I bought it! All 4 pieces. They had light surface rust all over, but no holes. I originally bought the Burb just to get the patch panels to use on my "55 Panel Truck. After I bought it ($500.00 with a running thriftmaster and the super rare hydramatic trans), I decided to sell the Panel and do the Suburban instead. I figured my 4 kids would like to have windows to look out. But that meant doing everything to the Burb that was already done to the Panel Truck ( sub-frame, A/C, posi, tilt wheel, Etc).

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 
cool glad you lucked out on the patches. yeah burbs are so sick. I got a couple AD panels but really don't wanna invest the time and money into them cause I'd much rather do a burb. That and a COE, AD trucks are my thing. But I def been digging the 55.2-59 trucks a ton lately.

Good luck with the build.

Saw both of these in the deep snow lately, both are really solid trucks, not sure of the year of the one from the front with the cool grill.

Sweet looking 59, how much of a drop to you have on that? and how did you lower it?

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 
Its got a Camaro clip(stock tired springs) in the front put in the lapped frame way. Got an axle flip in the back on stock tired springs. The rockers are 6" in front 8" in back from the ground. Here are a few more pics, I just made a mad dash to get it rolling but its a work in progress, there's a lot of little stuff I have to tidy up and things I want to do as I'm driving it.
