My '67 Suburban's Debut

[67 JW]

Hi Guy’s and Girl’s, I’ve been following this forum with some interest. Since I am new, I thought I would observe for a while.
This was my attempt at upgrading my 1967 Suburban; I started with a solid, completely rust-free (even the rockers) truck. Before I started the project, I collected all of my major pieces over a three and a half year period. This was a U.S. Corp. of Engineer Utility truck with a 292 Six TH400 with 16in wheels. My plan was to build a Suburban that was dependable, quiet, comfortable (Enough to withstand the high Temps for long stretch’s of driving in July and August in and around the Moab UT area), convenient, handle well and fun to drive. My first purchase was a really good front seat, the rest of the truck’s design both inside and out was based around the front seat. My starting point was to prepare the body by stripping everything out of the inside. Rustproof the floor, doors and body panels. Next install soundproofing and insulation materials on the floor, doors, all body panels and roof. The window glass, rearview mirrors, grill and bumpers are the same one’s that came on the truck.
