1950 suburban carryall
here are some pic of my 1950 carryall (suburban) when i bought in may of 2010. it hardly had any rust and when i put the gas tank in. it ran and drove. the worst part of the whole suburban was someone in the 80s decided to put in a pop up sun roof. so i am planning on getting it filled back in with a patch panel from a truck roof.

i didnt like the ribs on the firewall. so i cut them out but left a 1" lip around each side. so i could cut out an 18 gauge steel template and weld it in |

some people will think i crazy. but charley at charleys drop shop removed the back half of the frame and welded in a 2004 lincocn mark viii independent rear suspension (irs). the nice part is comes with disk brakes and it was only $250. i could have had the stock frame notched but i would have had to raise the floor about 9 inches and i didnt think that would look very good.

here it is roughly a couple inches above ride height. then we removed the body from the frame. it needs a little finish welding. then is it goes to the sandblaster and powdercoater next week. i also changed the color to a patina look. most may think i am nuts but it was all done with $100 in rattle can paint. it has 4 colors. clarit wine/dark gray/aqua blue/light blue.i then took 180 grit and brought out the layers. now i just have to finish the roof Last edited by fredscarryall; 02-27-2011 at 03:42 AM. |

Re: slamburban
i finally got my frame back from the powdercoater. it took 5 coats of mirror blue and was brought back out of the over and coated with another 5 coats and baked again.the frame looks flawless.

Re: slamburban
like the paint. I did the same on my 50 ford. people love it and one person has hired me to do their truck. I steped my paper up from 1000 to 2000 then finished it off with 3000, my primer actually shines
