Another shortwide project
Well I just wanted to show you guys a new project of mine. I traded my friend Matt my '65 suburban for his '64 big window shortwide. Its a great runner with a 283 and 3 speed on the tree. The floors are rusted out and drivers cab corner but the rest is pretty nice. He has always wanted a suburban and really liked mine. I figured I could always find another one.

Re: Another shortwide project
I am still learning. Short wide I'm guessing is a short bed non stepside?
The truck looks awesome! |

Re: Another shortwide project
I'm not sure. I really need another project like I need a hole in my oil pan. But I do have a nicer small window cab laying around, I may swap it out rather than try and fix this one. I was thinking about giving it to my 17 yr.old son but I don't think he's going to want it. Computers are way to cool and you don't get dirty playin with them.
If not I may just fix it up as a stocker or cut the floors out and do a body drop. I have a friend who has done this and I think its kinda cool.What do you guys think?

Re: Another shortwide project
The swb fleet trucks with the big back window option are among the low production runs for this era of trucks, compared to the lwb fleetsides and the swb stepsides. I would keep it, repair the rust damage and make a driver out of it. Good, unmolested survivors are getting more scarce every day, especially with the number of trucks being scraped or modified. It will hold its value, regardless. Keep us posted on the direction you go and remember to post lots of pictures. Good luck with your rig and thanks for sharing.

Re: Another shortwide project
Well I sold it off to help pay for my air bag stuff on my black truck. Funny thing that I traded my '65 suburban for it and now I'm trading again to get the same suburban back. I think I'll keep it this time. My wife and kids like it.

Re: Another shortwide project
Glad your getting the sub back..I just picked up a 60 sub 1/2 ton and if you don't mind me asking,where did you get your side glass? I'm missing some glass and also one glass latch.
Thanks Bob |
