66 "burby"
 
Well I finally got some pics of my 66 Suburban - It's been one done since April. I bought it last year out of Montana. It is Original paint and original dents. Was runnning and driving when I got it - 283 - 373 Posi.
Done a frame off, to do all lines, and paint.
Now - 07' 5.3 and 4L80e, cruise, Vintage A/C, Air-ride, late-model Suburban seats.

It's perfect! It looks like a ball to drive, and I'll bet it's a great driver, too.

Did you shoot a satin clear over the original paint to preserve it? The patina looks awesome.

It's a great driver! Just buffed the green, nothing else.

Drivers seat is power, passenger seat is manual - it slides and the back tilts forward - easy to get into the 2nd seat. The back on 2nd(and 3rd) fold down to allow access to 3rd seat.
I'm 6'1" and and can get 3rd seat pretty easy.
Both seats are removeable.

Im sure you have been asked a thousand times but what did you get the front seats and console out of?
I love you(r) Burb

Seats are out of 04 suburban - pass. side frame bottom was switched out to manual from single cab truck, console is from a crew cab, it has vents in the back to use with my A/C.

Great looking burb.Nice to see where the white was applied as I sanded mine back to the base paint.The white that was on there looked like it was just done with a rattlecan but looking at yours ,mine was probably like that from the factory.

Did you update the steering column? Looks like a late model turn signal lever.
