Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister

I like the color on the Burb. Rust repair will keep you busy a day or two.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister

Took a couple better pictures of the rusty rockers and floor. We got the truck stripped and a bunch of parts piled up.

your rust repair looks about as bad as mine was on my 64 sub...( some shots of it here: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=448681&page=3 )

are you going to just get some repro rockers and fab up a new floor?
Even the wood might be rusty on this one. I like how you repaired your rusty suburban but mine is going a different route. If you noticed the frame we built is very wide. The frame rails will be inside the rocker panels and the panels and the floor will be fabricated around them.

I like the faded green too.


We started to weld in some bracing. We used 2" because it was laying around Tomorrow we will put in some X braces

We marked out two cut lines to move the door frame back 16"
