New guy in California
Hey everybody just joined the site and wanted to say hello. 2 days ago I just bought a 70' suburban 3 door and I am pretty stoked about it. Right now i'm just trying to figure out what needs to be fixed and what can be improved. To tell you a little about the truck it has a rebuilt 350 with a 700 R4 with a switch on the dash to lock up the torque converter. The PO did a disc brake swap up front from a late 70' pick up, I don't think he got every single part necessary because the turning radius is horrible so I'm gonna be working on that soon but the truck stops very nicely. The PO also added a 3rd row seat from an 89 burb that can be removed if needed so I can fit a ton of people in the truck. I can't think of anything more to say but I will try to post some pics soon.

Re: New guy in California

Re: New guy in California
Nothing wrong there, I just see a solid burb looking for a little more love.
Cool looking dog to keep you company, and he has all that room to lay out too!
