Hello from Kenmore, NY - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

65sublime · 07-13-2008, 02:10 PM

Hi this is Tom Bowler from Kenmore, New York (just north of Buffalo). I picked up a '65 suburban (originally from TX) three years ago after I saw at a local swap meet. I've had a '40 Chevy coupe street rod for some 30 years now and have wanted to build a truck but also wanted something that could carry more people comfortably. I had it in storage for the first year but then began to disassemble it. A friend offered a bay in his pole barn and I quickly took him up on it. The 65 has been there since late December. I went after repairing the floor at the front of the cab in January and finished in March. I had seen a photoshopped picture of a 65 blazer and thought it wouldn't be too hard to pull that off. So, that has been the task for the last 4 months. Many detail photos will follow.
