Not MINE.

I took my wife up to Big Bear this weekend for our 6th Anniversary, and saw this guy pulling into the hotel we were staying at. I asked him if I could snap a picture of his truck... Semper Fi, Marine!

Love the oldschool flames on this suburban.,good looking suburban

61burban · 11-23-2011, 12:31 PM

I'm new to the site and about a year into the build. This is my 61 4x4 which was used as a school bus in Nebraska for over 30 yeas. I hope to have it back together and in one color other than primer by spring.

Ah Spring! Doesn't feel that far away! Nice truck. School Bus Orange?

61burban · 11-23-2011, 01:17 PM

It was originally Yukon (school bus) yellow but I’m changing to California orange.

I wonder whether or not that it is a GMC or a Chev(not that it matters) as it is sporting both a GMC grille and a bowtie emblem on the side + a chev hood

It's probably a Chevrolet due to the double hump dash. GMC's had single humps.

tincan1966 · 12-31-2011, 08:49 AM

Can't seem to load pic from cell phone. But I got my front drop member installed and FE reassembled w/ airbags. Ride height puts front bumper 6 1/2" off the ground. Built the whole thing in house only bought the bags to finish. Will finish gussets and post pics later.

My god i have got to buy me a suburban, i have always wanted one and i planned on my next project after my 65 was to dust off the 67 and slap it back together than start on my 31 ford but i might have to find me a burb first.

GMCMG · 01-01-2012, 09:06 PM

My '66 project. My dream is to have it driveable by spring, but reality is probably something more like 'sometime this decade'. I'm a complete newb to this kind of work, so it will be slow going, lots of mistakes, etc.

I have wanted a suburban forever, just never thought I would be lucky enough to find one I could afford! This, too, started its life as a school bus, and owes many thanks to that life for the minimal Missouri rust!

tincan1966 · 01-26-2012, 07:36 PM

Just a cpl pics of the front suspension mocked up with my crossmember and bags

tincan1966 · 01-26-2012, 07:38 PM

Crossmember raised lower control arms 3", relocated factory upper control arm mounts, moved whole suspension forward 1" and added rack and pinion steering. All crossmember and brackets made in-house. Starting on rear suspension tomorrow and raising engine 1 1/2" for better rack clearance and also to level the engine F to R better. Still hoping to hit the All Truck Nationals in KC this year. Building her '59 Ford at the same time,so trading off on projects.
