1972 Orange 50/50 Bar

[OldCreek]

Well, I'm finally getting around to posting pics of my new Suburban. I got her last month and have mostly resisted the urge to tear her down to pieces. She's in pretty good shape with minor rust. Like to make her a DD.

Someone keep me from doing a frame off! I don't think I can resist. I'd like to paint the frame and do the underside. Plus, the wood floor needs replacing and it may be advantageous to do it all at once.

It's got a crate 350 that needs rebuilding... cyl 6 & 8 have 70lbs & 100lbs of compression and the rest have 140ish. Miles unknown... looks worn. The TH350 runs good but leaks from the pan and shifter boss. The 205 leaks from the speedo unit and the plug. I've already acquired a built 700r4 (Mega Monster) to put in (got a great deal on a unused used one)... I will probably buy the 2" spacer others have used and end up moving the engine about 3 3/4" forward. (I did the homework on that... I figured buying the short shaft didn't make as much sense because the tranny was already rebuilt.)

Anyways, my plan is to get her looking classic/stock just like Zeusflash, Cheyenne10's and other's Burbs. The difference being the color will be Orange & White... like an Orange 50/50 Bar.
I love looking at their Burbs! ... Thanks for the influence!!!
