Snagged a '48-53 suburban from the crusher

[alaska gasser]

Driving by the scrap yard a couple days ago I couldn't believe what I saw.





I stopped and verbally bought it off the pile. Then I had to call my banker so she could collect the $ and I could go pick it up after I got off work. I told her I bought an old suburban and let's just say, she was less than pleased. I was not expecting this. She still wasn't happy until we pulled in and saw it. Then she became excited and said "Oh! It's an ooold suburban. Heck yah we are taking it home!" I never told her the year and she was expecting an 80's basket case. You've got to love a hotrod wife!!!













It is very rusty and damaged from the fork lift, but it was worth it.
