I'm on the hunt for a family hauler but not a burban/avalanche, hopefully by the end of december I'll have something.

Driveway Dreams · 11-05-2009, 04:46 PM

Oh, great. Now what?

**old Rusty C10** · 11-05-2009, 05:33 PM

i like that ... even the color is nice

Did you get rid of your crewcab swb?

Pyrotechnic · 11-05-2009, 06:22 PM

I like it ! They way they did the rear of the "cab" is the best I've seen so far.

sailed2japan · 11-05-2009, 10:08 PM

It looks good in the pics, but I wonder what the inside of the bed looks like.

CLASSIC87' · 11-05-2009, 11:50 PM

I have to agree this is the best one yet... Anyone know the price on it?

joe231 · 11-06-2009, 01:24 AM

not bad, but I think the rear needs to be shortened.....

sailed2japan · 11-06-2009, 06:45 AM

I know what you mean the rear wheel well is in a weird place in relation to the "bed"

Maybe it's because you are looking at it upside down.

I like it But the pictures are terrible for all the hard work that went into the build. could he find a bigger shade tree to take pics under. As a suburban owner I would love to see some build pics and interior shot of the back cab area. Just my 2 cents.

joe231 · 11-06-2009, 11:24 AM

here is me playing with paint.....I left the wheelbase stock and shortened the rear

thirdstreettito · 11-06-2009, 11:32 AM

Yuck.

Burbalanche. Good name!

smashingchuck · 11-06-2009, 12:11 PM

I think to make it look right you need to leave the bed the same length and just lengthen the wheel base.

I also think the c pillar should be dramatically smaller and shaped just like a crew cab.
