Heres the deal:
I currently have a '72 chevy short stepside (in the avatar). My wife and I are thinking about having another child (it will be our second) Right now the truck works great when we go somewhere in it (bench seat), but we think we will need more room.
Here's where y'all come in. She has pretty much told me that if we are going to get a gas hog, then it should be a cool classic vehicle. She has said she likes the 67-72 suburbans, and agreed that we think it would be a good idea to get one. However here's where it gets tricky. I want a burb that has a good body (no rust),and good susension. I want to do the engine and tranny myself. The interior I will probably do myself too, and I will rewire the whole truck, so basically I want a shell. Seems simple right? Well we live in a subdivision where you can't have nonrunning vehicles in your driveway (they consider it an eyesore), and the 1966 MG Midget project is taking up the garage. We also don't have the cash flow to start another project without selling my truck first, and we all know that could take a litle while. I'm thinking of asking for around 12,000 for it. If I sell the truck I won't have anything to haul parts around, or take my little girl to daycare in when the wifes out of town (frequent). so I'm not sure on that course of action yat.
The other questions are:
What should I look for when searching for a burb? Where are the trouble spots? I REALLY wish our burbs came in 4 doors, but since they don't, how much of a pain is it to get to the other side of the back (2nd row) seat drivers side. we will be putting 2 car seats in, so it kind of cramps things up a bit. Any suggestions/advice/ and comments are more than welcome.
Thanks for posting !
