First drive in the Suburban

[1956cameo]

Sorry for the big pics. Haven't learned to re-size pics yet.

Well as some of you may already know, I bought a suburban a little over a year ago. Since then I have tinkered with her and got everything but the A/C going on her. These pics are a couple of months old but they are from the first day I got to legally drive her on the road.

Mine is the green suburban. It's a factory big block 3/4 ton. The orange one is my dad's (Muleman100). It is a factory big block 1/2 ton.

First stop was to AutoZone to get a rear view mirror so I could pass inspection. Put the first piece that glues to the windshield on backwards and it would NOT come off. So I got to go back in and buy a second one. Ironically my dad can not get one to glue to his windshield for the life of him.




Next stop was the car wash to get them ready for the cruise night. I think we spent more washing them than they are worth!




We were some of the first ones to arrive at the cruise night. Although we look like we were the only ones there I can assure you there were between 100 and 125 cars by dusk.




They got a fair amount of attention; mainly people asking why they only had 3 doors on them. Every week the cruise night has about 4-10 other 67-72 trucks. They almost always B-line it to the suburban when they get there. That is what I like. Having something familiar and classic, but still unusual.




This one isn't owned by me or my family but the next day we were driving to Austin and when we stopped for gas this pulled in. We chatted with the guy for a few minutes and then went our seperate ways.





Hope you enjoyed it. I am no story teller like Longhorn Man but I would like to post little mini stories for everyone whenever the chance arises.
