Hi guys. This is my first thread but not my first truck. My daily driver is a
65 suburban. It has a static 4/5 drop and a fuel injected 409 with a 700R4. The Twisted Little Sister is a 66 suburban that is going to be chopped , sectioned and further customized So here's my daily driver |

On this truck I decided to use all of the ideas that I've had over the years, practical or not, just for fun. So for the suspension I got this for a donor.

Since I've always liked the idea of a V12, I got this for the motor and transmission

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Nice!
This is gonna be very interesting! I can't wait to see this one move forward! |
Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
I do like the Suburbans, and would also love a short panel on my drive.
Take a look at this build, not quite the same, but the same motor action. Also, you could probably use him as a resource or ally. http://retrorides.proboards.com/thre...-sketchy-drive There is a driving video on page 14. Will keep and eye as this unfolds. |
Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
I've never been much of a suburban fan, but this sounds like a fun and interesting build. Looking forward to the progress as it evolves!

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Can't wait to see the build. I'm building a bodydropped extended panel truck currently.

Thanks for the interest guys. Grizz, I did get a couple of ideas from the V12 Landrover link. Thanks
We stripped the Corvette. Then last week we built a frame table and put the Corvette frame on it. We cut the frame at the back of the doors and unbolted it from the front cross member |

We tig welded theses frame curves at the end of last week. We spent all day today cutting and then squaring the 2X6 frame sections on the mill

Cool project! I can't wait to see how this progresses.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Very interesting build, I'll be watching for sure.
That Jag trans looks quite a bit like a GM trans. |
Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Going to have to keep an eye on this build . Those V12 cars are getting quite cheep over here in the UK due to the running costs

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
I like the no-holds-barred approach, there are so few things in life you can truely indulge in.
If this is what you are doing for the frame and power train, I can only imagine where you may go with the body in and out. :metal: |

We spent more time today prepping the frame pieces. Then we started mocking up the frame.

A lot of clamps, a lot of measuring, a little tack welding and we got the perimeter of the frame tacked together. Then we started on some of the sub assemblies

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Nice work. I keep checking on this for progress. It's gonna be sick.
