Suburban Guys .... Questions for you !!
I went to look at this thing this afternoon .... '63
- - ![]() - - It caught my attention when I saw the pics on CL, and it happened to be in my town, few miles from home. His posting expired, so I cant post the link. The add read it was a project, all glass was intact, raised crossmember, P/S, 350, 4spd, new intake/carb/headers...4 new bags included, 8 valves, extra parts... At first glance, it's bad arse..untill you walk up and see the hack job on the rear suspension. It's running a 5-lug rear-axle...with a two link bolted to leafspring pad , under axle...with a track bar located under the axle.... I should of snapped a pic, but didnt want to seem too pushy. The front end is a new bushing style crossmember...the center of the drag link has been cut and the outter ends welded on top of the center, assuming to compensate for the raised crossmember (WTF ?!?!) Looks like a clean 350....probably a muncie....P/S mounted to what IS NOT one of CaptionFabs creations.... Dash heater and ashtray smoothed...dash and column both have igniton keys. He was right in his add .... it is a project that has to be finished. Oh, the front inners are gone...with 1x2 tubing zig zagged to locate the hood springs/hinges.... Loose bolts here and there....3 nuts to space the L fender lower mount ... 'popcorn' welding thruout Sounds pretty bad, huh ?? Anyway...the questions. How are the rear wood floor supported ?? Crossmembers right ?? Currently, its got a HUGE fuel tank sitting almost as high as the notch...with looks to be a full, uncut KP notch. I have a rolling '63 C-20 chassis...that is super original...wonder if the wheelbase is the same ?? I like the body, just dont care too much for the frame mods...it does lay out really nice.. He is asking $3500 or trades. I offered him my 71 SS NOVA...Body is 90%...and no drivetrain..(before viewing)...I mentioned keep your drivetrain for the NOVA...its probably the best thing its got ! ![]() ![]() What you all think ?? More pics, I know....
