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.

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

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.
