Sweet! Can't wait to see what you do with it!

Re: My 1964 Suburban Project
 

Thanks. This weekend Ill pull the body off and get my frame table built. Then let the fabrication begin!

Re: My 1964 Suburban Project
 

cool!
take lots of pics, please

Re: My 1964 Suburban Project
 

For one of these trucks that's not so bad. GM did a lousy job on the paint in this era.

Re: My 1964 Suburban Project
 

I think I will try to get the pieces from another Sub rather than trying to patch those with homemade panels. There are a couple at a local wrecking yard that are in better shape in the rear.

Re: My 1964 Suburban Project
 

About to get the new frame started.

Re: My 1964 Suburban Project
 

No its the point of no return when you cut the frame in half with a salzal like i did :lol:
Well guess you did that.... sorry i was looking at it wrong until a saw the tie rods lol

Re: My 1964 Suburban Project
 

are you doing a complete custom frame or are you using pieces of the original frame?

Re: My 1964 Suburban Project
 

nice find, i am glad in az we don't have much rust issue's. seeing your avatar this sub will have a killer stance also

Re: My 1964 Suburban Project
 

Thanks Dino. I am gonna use the front clip. I was gonna build a complete frame but I dont want this build to take too long so Im gonna simplify it a little by using the stock front clip. It will be Zd 3.75" and bodydropped 2". Sorry for the crappy pics I need to get better light on that side of the shop.

Re: My 1964 Suburban Project
 

AWESOME project. Cant wait to see some good updates on this frame. Keep the pics a flowin

Re: My 1964 Suburban Project

Re: My 1964 Suburban Project

Re: My 1964 Suburban Project
 

Thanks it will be together as soon as possible. There wont be as much chrome on the front of the motor this time around. The pullies and brackets will be chrome but the water pump and alternator will not. And I wont have power steering.

Re: My 1964 Suburban Project
 

Lookin good man! I'm gonna have to build a full frame one of these days.

Re: My 1964 Suburban Project
 

Lookin good Lookin good. I kinda wished I would have just ran all new frame rails on mine also.

Re: My 1964 Suburban Project
 

Thanks guys. I was gonna run new rails from front to back. But looking at the timeline I want it done by and the quality of truck I want it to be I figured I better just do it from the firewall back.

Re: My 1964 Suburban Project
 

SWEET!

I'll have to come to the shop ,and check it out sometime.

Re: My 1964 Suburban Project
 

Yes you should. Im pretty much always home. You got my cell #.

Re: My 1964 Suburban Project
 

Actually ,I accidentally deleted it. PM it to me again ,and I'll be sure to save it .

Re: My 1964 Suburban Project
 

Looks like so excellent progress. I'm seriously excited about this one to be finished...

Re: My 1964 Suburban Project
 

Thanks. Im about to go put in a few more hours right now. Maybe Ill get enough done to post pics of.

Re: My 1964 Suburban Project
 

Any more progress?

Re: My 1964 Suburban Project
 

Well it doesn't look like much, but it's progress. It takes me longer to decide what I want to do than to actually do it. Tomorrow I will hopefully get the uppers in and some of the tube work done.

Re: My 1964 Suburban Project
 

What part of town are you in? I would love to see that truck!

Re: My 1964 Suburban Project
 

Mesquite. Your welcome to stop by anytime. I've pretty much got the upper bars finished now. I only snapped two pics and my camera died. I will take more tomorrow after I work on it.
