Re: seen in Hemmings: stretched 8 wheeled 1970 suburban pickup
Seems like a LOT of work and materials for under $5K. Just not my cup of tea.

Re: seen in Hemmings: stretched 8 wheeled 1970 suburban pickup
For once I'm glad something has the wrong bed on it! They didn't waste a bunch of 67-72 fenders... could still be a good candidate for a crew cab or tahoe conversion.

I've always wondered what was the first object to be described by the word, "abhorrent." Now I've stopped wondering.

Re: seen in Hemmings: stretched 8 wheeled 1970 suburban pickup
Looks like if you take off the support beam they put in, you could still put in a rear axle and sell the bed for scrap.

If I got it I would turn it back into a suburban and scrap the bed.

At least they took their time and did the fuel cell in the bed super sanitary.

Re: seen in Hemmings: stretched 8 wheeled 1970 suburban pickup
This truck has been the subject of many a locked thread. Something tells me it won't be long before it happens again.
I for one can admire the sheer amount of work it must have taken to build it. The only question I have is, how is something like that legal to drive? I would think that the overall length would make it very difficult to drive, maybe even dangerous. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: seen in Hemmings: stretched 8 wheeled 1970 suburban pickup
Not too pretty but you have to respect the amount of work. With all those tires i wonder if it was built for a hot tub. Id say its worth that for parts.

Re: seen in Hemmings: stretched 8 wheeled 1970 suburban pickup
It was built in the 90's a time when trucks had spinning beds or jaccuzzis in the back.Maybe even a set of wire rims that stuck out about 4 inches.

Re: seen in Hemmings: stretched 8 wheeled 1970 suburban pickup
Wow! That's both awesome and horrible at the same time. I'd say it needs more than "some work". That thing needs a total restoration.
