It did feel good.

Second drive was a bit more eventful but it made it home and gave me a new list which is almost scratched off now (just need to rebelled the brakes)

No front sway bar though I'd like to add one. The 4x4s never came with one so you have to make a mounting bracket to the crossmember.

I am heading to pick n pull Monday they have a later model K10 there which I will hopefully grab a sway bar off of.

So now that it moves my wife gave it a wash

used a little comet to get the oxidation off followed by a cleaning wax spray.

Ran out of chrome polish but got 3/4 of it done so far.

Detailing a Suburban is a week long job it seems.





Amazing how the white actually pops now







grill and bumper needs a second round of polishing



Favorite picture I got

Third shake down run today and we were able to go get gas ⛽️
Run to O’Reilys for parts for itself
Steering is fixed ✔️
Secondaries opened up good ✔️
Brakes ✔️
Went up to 55 ✔️

Still popping a little off and on (think it’s a vacuum leak)

The front of the plug going into the brake booster popped out at the end of the drive and I lost power brakes. Not sure what would cause that 🤔

Very excited on how well this went and confident I will make #concoursdelemons on the 25th

Picked up a couple of accessories for upcoming shows



I also stopped by Pick n pull and got some dodge dakota door seals and nabbed a SM465 chrome shifter while I was there.

Nice, I got the same set up, green Coleman 70's cooler, as well as the green lantern.

I am still a ways off from it being presentable though.

True story, I didn't even think about 70's folding chairs until I saw your pic. Good call.
