Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
I've enjoyed catching up on your build so far. I did something very similar for my '71 C10, in stealing the drive train out of my '98 T/A. Had enough $ sunk in between having the LS1 built to a fully balanced forged 383 and the 4L60 built to support it that I knew I'd never get it back if I sold the car as it sat, so I cannibalized the car to support the truck build and sold off the scraps. Will we kick ourselves in 20 years for doing this to otherwise decent f-bodies? Who knows, I kind of kick myself every time I see a red 4th gen bird roll by with the t-tops off already, but at least there are still clean ones out there to be had cheap.
Keep up the good work.
