i guess i should have started this a while ago. i took apart a 38000mi perfect 71 c20 suburban like a fool! the only running, driving, cool rig we had. now they are all apart. it started with an interior freshen up and a 6" drop. then sms jerked me around for 5 months on seat fabric till i gave up and went with houndstooth and a color change.

**72k5zl1** · 05-12-2011, 02:25 PM

the 10 plys just got back from the whitewaller. also been playing with the riveter. c notch is in and i scored an efi off ebay cheap. the 700r4 showed the other day too.

Gotta keep an eye on this one!

What's your plans for suspension since your going to use it as a tow rig some?

**72k5zl1** · 05-21-2011, 08:55 PM

some updates. nothing fits the 3/4 tons like the 1/2s

**72k5zl1** · 05-21-2011, 09:00 PM

custom c notch, and there has been a bunch of plug welding old holes and new rivets. had to lengthen the panhard frame bracket 3.5". tried to keep it stock looking. mufflers showed tonight, going to be a snake charmer tomorrow and run exhaust.

thor · 05-23-2011, 03:51 PM

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-23-2011, 04:04 PM
