61 suburban/06 duramax on ebay
 

Hey Guys, I usually am in the 88-98 section of this website but I like all kinds of chevy trucks. Today I stumbled across this on ebay and I think it is amazing. I am not trying to sell it, I just thought some of you in this section might enjoy looking at it like I did. Heck, it might even belong to a member here and I just haven't seen it before, anyway, here is the link to it:

He says it sits on an 2006 frame with only 12000 miles. Try taking that to the the local Chevy dealer for a warranty repair :haha:

I figured I would post this up since when the auction is over we lose all the info.

I was starteled to see that this was only a few hours away from me!

here is his description:
1961 suburban which rest upon a 2006 3/4 ton 4x4 frame and suspension with a duramax and 6 speed allison, This has been a 2+ yrs in the making, This is an incredible rig and has required a great amount of craftsmanshipa and design to make it look the way it does, I am going to try and keep this description in a nutshell because it would take me days to write all their is to be said about this rig, Here is description of some of the key features, The 06 4x4 started as a 4dr short box, I took about 3 ft out of the frame ,z notched it ,welded it ,plated and bolted it, All the wirring harnesses and computers are still in their original configuration,.. In other words the dealer can plug it in and diagnos and work on this as they would any other 06 dmax!, This also means it still has cruise control, push button 4x4 , intermitent wiper delay, A/C, ABS, power seat and so on , Their are no engine or warning lights on except for the airbag light because their isnt any, The 06 donor truck had about 8500 miles on it and I have put about 3500 on it since completed , The total mileage on it is less than 12000, It has a 6 inch lift, fabtech and blisten shocks, air bags for leaveling your trailer with your other rod on it! The wheels are 20 x 12 welds, Tires 35x13,50x 20, Grill and rear bumper are excellent original condition, front bumper is new, Well everything is pretty much new!, Their are 4 red top optimas mounted underneth so it starts up with ease any time! Runs cool even on hot days,, Huge custom built aluminum tripple pass radiator, Dual electric fans, Rear fenders and original wheel base has been moved and lengthened by 4 inches, Alignment is spot on , Heat and air work great, Rides much better than any of the other lifted trucks I've ever owned! The bodywork is excellen and it is extremley straight!, This was built and intended to be daily driven and perhaps sunday shown, With that in mind their are a couple small chips and blems due to winter driving, The frame was sandblasted and coated with industrial coating, The paint is PPG concept wich is very expensive high end durable paint, I have aprox $40k just in parts and supplies alone!, Not including the thousands of hours it took to build

That is one sweet Burb!

It will be interesting to see what it brings.

Re: 61 suburban/06 duramax on ebay
 

Freakin awesome!!

Re: 61 suburban/06 duramax on ebay
 

WOW! Talk about a modern retro build. You got all the best of both worlds there. Thats too cool! If only I had the cash.

Re: 61 suburban/06 duramax on ebay
 

Wow

Re: 61 suburban/06 duramax on ebay
 

That is super sweet! Wow!

Re: 61 suburban/06 duramax on ebay
 

All I can say is this is a great blend of old and new done by what looks like a "home builder". The layout of all the details on the dash is pure genius. This seller has to be a GM mechanic or has somebody who is help him because I know the wiring was a P.I.T.A!!
It is a shame all that work is done only to have the builder want to have back the 4dr truck he started with!

Re: 61 suburban/06 duramax on ebay
 

that is a nice looking burb! I guess its just me, but I'm not digging the wheels, I do love the dash set up..

Re: 61 suburban/06 duramax on ebay
 

Very nice. But his reserve is $50K. I know from trying to sell my truck, this economy is too tough. WORTH EVERY PENNY OF THE $50K he is asking.

Re: 61 suburban/06 duramax on ebay
 

btt just for the new guys, wonder if he sold it?

Re: 61 suburban/06 duramax on ebay
 

Someone posted not long ago that they saw it at a show down south. Might have been Texas or Arizona....don't remember for sure.
