Re: The Family Truckster- 66 Suburban Build
Cool 'Burb!
They really are a family friendly hot rod. Plus you can still haul quite a bit in back. Heck my Nova is way nicer than my Suburban but I usually take the Sub to cruze night. Its way easier to get in and out of plus I can haul my entire family with room to spare.

Re: The Family Truckster- 66 Suburban Build
Thanks, I was hoping for more progress at this point but some progress is better than no progress

Re: The Family Truckster- 66 Suburban Build
That looks great! You can never go wrong with TTII's.
I had to run a 3/4" spacer before and I drilled and tapped the axles myself for a 1/2"-20 screw-in stud and used ARP Wheel Studs #100-7704 and never had a problem.

Re: The Family Truckster- 66 Suburban Build
As long as it is a good quality billet spacer you should be fine. Don't use the cheap cast spacers that you can get anywhere, those are the ones that give spacers a bad name.

Re: The Family Truckster- 66 Suburban Build
I ordered 1/2" Billet Specialties spacers from Summit Racing, just waiting for them to come in. I didn't want to cheap out on the spacers.

Re: The Family Truckster- 66 Suburban Build
I think you nailed the look, Keith! At the rate you're progressing, you'll be road worthy again in no time. Just have to dig out from under the bomb cyclone.

Re: The Family Truckster- 66 Suburban Build
I think I'm in love! It's amazing how much a drop and a set of wheels can do for a vehicle.
