65 GMC Suburban 4x4 Restorod Project

[RustyBurb]

So here's my first attempt at building something. Not much of a mechanic so getting a lot of help locally. Bought the truck online out of Connecticut (a nice rust free state) where the truck was used to plow snow in the winter and as a marina yard truck in the summer. Who could ask for a more salt free environment than that!? Can't say my wife was totally warmed up to the idea when it was delivered as the brakes went out as it was rolling off the car carrier. Lucky we have a long street. First step some new shoes. Made quite a difference in ride height. Kinda look period correct...16x8 Rally wheels on Toyo's. Still in garage, still no brakes
