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
Got the rear back under the burb this weekend. I also decided to run the TT2’s I had from the 68 on the Burb. Was worried about them fitting in the rear due to the 5.75” backspacing the wheels have and the narrow rear. My worries were confirmed when I bolted them up, I’m going to have to run a 1/2” spacer so they will clear the inside of the wheel wells. I’m probably going to have to change the wheel studs to run the spacers but I’ll figure that out once the spacers come in. I also got the Wilwood calipers bolted up to the captain fab d52 brackets.

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
Had some time in the garage this weekend with all the snow we got in Jersey. No better way to spend being stuck in the house then in the garage

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.
