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.

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
 
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.

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.
