Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build

Since you are building an Envoy based Suburban I figured you might like to see some other Envoy conversions

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build

Using the existing hinges is WAY easier. I hear you on the hatch style, but just think about the fabrication it entails. Unless you need to stay out of the rain, the hatch only creates ways for me to bump my head!

Not knockin this guys truck, its just not for me.

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build

It would be nice to know if this is a drivetrain swap, chassis swap, or full floor & firewall swap like mine is undergoing.

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build

I talked to this guy for a while and he said that he left the Envoy body on the chassis and put the 53 chevy cowl over it. He said that he tipped the front fenders down and redrilled the holes to give the hood a little more slope.

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build

Those are the standard steel wheels that they use for spares. Got one on the left front of my trailblazer right now. Has a full size tire on it.
