Re: 68 Suburban build thread
Another great burb in the works. I like your frame detailing, with the hieght it should show nice. I assume you might be running a larger tire in the end? I would need a spring board to load up!!
great to see newer members jumping in with the projects too.

Re: 68 Suburban build thread
Can you comment on the wooden bed removal. Was it easily removed once the body was off the frame? Do you suspect a one piece bed will be able to be fit... or will a two piece bed be necessary for reinstallation? thanks

Re: 68 Suburban build thread
Holy Crap! This thing is going to look awesome!!! What is that, 12 inches of lift? I'm assuming that you are going to put a heavily built automatic in it, 4L80E or what?

Re: 68 Suburban build thread
Yeah! I got to tell you all... I sure wish there was more activity on this Suburban board! It's the first board I check when I log onto the website. I just dig looking at all your pictures and reading about your suburbans. In part, it's because I'm planning on fixing up mine!
Keep it up!
