I need a pic and some advice.....
Looking for a pic of a pro street tubbed out suburban. I know it sounds crazy but just wondering what might be my next project. I have a pretty clean 1987 suburban I only have a total of $550 invested in it. I need to finish a project or 2 before I buy more. I already lowered it, but not in pics.
It will have a stock motor. I have a 3:73 12 bolt posi I need to something with also. I wanna run a 15x14 rally with a 29x18.50 tire. Going to move the leaf springs inboard on the frame. Suggestions???

A tubbed suburban would be awesome! That prostreet looks wicked. Can't wait to see how this turns out.

Re: I need a pic and some advice.....
You could always drive up to WI and deliver it to me for what you have into it Awesome deal on a nice 'burb, if you don't do a prostreet theme just do something with it, it's just in too nice of shape.
