Great work Scotty! That chassis looks really nice, as does your metalwork over the rear axle. Looks like quite a number of mods had to be made to get it that low. What size rear tires are you going to be able to fit under there?

Nah I kept it 20's all the way around with a decent size tire. My son also has the same rims on his as well.

Thanks for the comments guys...

Looks really good. I like the work, and with the way your burban looks, I'm stoked to see how your son's truck ends up.

Haha thanks man , Im leaning to the simple dropped clean look on it but by the time he turns 16 Im sure it will be like mine.

Re: My 65 Suburban
 
Thanks , I thought I would be different and get rid of the rusty core support. Im debating on chroming or powdercoating it, It's all bolt on.
