I got a lot done today. First off, we pulled the front suspension out of the Suburban, then we bolted up the '64 front suspension to the Suburban so it would remain a roller. Then, I steam-cleaned the front suspension and all the rest of the Suburban parts I plan on using. After that, I got on the '64 and steam-cleaned the chassis. What a nasty mess. Oh, another thing: After we bolted the '64 suspension into the Suburban, Brad noticed a NASTY 4" crack in the Suburban's driver's side framerail. It had obviously been in a wreck at sometime in it's life.

I even yanked some more parts off the Sub that I'm going to sell. My buddy Bob, came over and whacked the roof off the Sub so he could use the ribbed roof skin for a '33 Ford sedan that he's building for another buddy. That Suburban has been an amazing donor vehicle.

Tomorrow, I plan on bolting the '79 front suspension into the '64, then yanking the 12-bolt out of the Suburban and steam-cleaning it. I'll get the rear of the '64 up high in the air and double-check the chassis and steam the areas I missed. If I have the time, I'm going to McGuyver the '64 rear into the Suburban so it'll still be a roller.

Next weekend, I plan on painting the chassis, torching the perches off the 12-bolt, and re-welding new perches. I would like to bolt the rear into the '64 and put her back on the ground. We'll see!
