Another suburban gets altitude adjustment

[**grumpy**]

My buddy Matt bought one of my previous 63 burbs.
He had already spent 3yrs building a pretty stellar squarebody, and drove and enjoyed it for a couple yrs.

Then comes a girl, then marriage, then a baby.....

The squarebody is family and wont ever be sold. But he needed a family ride. I told him where my old 63 was and he went after it and made deal.

They drove it alot last year and he collected parts. This winter it was to get a update.

He got 72 C10 upper and lwr CA's, and 2.5" drop spindles, all the airride stuff and it started 2 weekends ago.

We helped get front all stripped and new put on, then did rear today. He had already had both compressors and tank etc mounted weeks ago.

So a new bagged family truckster is born.

Heres a few of his square and of the family ride.

Thats an interesting setup in the square body. Dont go climbin around in there and slip!

[**grumpy**]

Haha. yeah, only thing that truck was built to haul was Ass..

It took me a minute to wrap my head around how that notch worked. I really like that. The burb is looking sick too.

He spent months building that rear suspension. Its pretty crazy. All airlines are hard lines.
He has a side business called Streetsteel.net that he builds all kinds of plasma cut suspension stuff and one-off stuff.
He built his, and mine, panhard and lowering blocks with panhard mount incorporated.

Between his twin viair compressors and his engine driven, plus airtank and part of frame that is also airtank, his truck puts out more air than my 60 gal upright in garage...

Pics?

[**grumpy**]

Yes sir!
Not great pics but a pic.

Thanks to SCOTI for the idea.

We made the passenger side block 2" longer and capped back as part of the panhard bar tab. Welded on 4 sides.

I got a $22 bar from Tractor Supply with heim joints. He cut in half and welded black pipe in middle.

22 for bar. 29 for new ubolts. Scrap metal around shop. free= 51 bucks in 2" blocks, new ubolts and adjustable panhard.....!

I'll take better pics of mine too. And add to my build thread in build section.

[**grumpy**]

Oh, it goes from pass block to stock panhard bracket on drivers frame. Fit like a charm and no clearance issues with rearend.

That's friggin' cool! I can't wait to see it in person. Do you know if he's taking it to any shows this year? It would be cool to get some pics of all of our trucks together.

Oh yeah. He does alot of the shows I do. Plus he hits some of the minitruck/tuner shows I avoid...
I'll txt you when its closer to the dates.


As for the wheels and tires.
Theyre firestone tires, 205/70/15 on 15x6 cheapie chrome smoothies. His front is 5x5 and rear is 6lug, so thats what he got.
Hes gonna run the babymoon caps
I was trying to convince him into just running bullet lugnuts and be done. Kinda a chrome oe wheel.
