Project 70 Yellow Turd

[WH0DAMAN]

So I finally have gotten around to getting something done on my 1970 Suburban. Front has been lowered 2.5" & disk brakes. Inline 6 cyl has been removed & 396 bored out to 402 has been prepped to drop in. This thing was badly abused by the previous owner so I feel pretty good about saving it from the scrap yard. I am doing a lot of "what was he thinking" when I look it over. This guy was the ultimate Macgyver. He even had an indoor light switch screwed to one of the upper roof rails to turn on the overhead light! The good thing is that most of it is still factory paint & rust looks to be quite manageable. Rear sill was caved in so we had to set it up & pull the rear end & RT quarter panel back to square. I'm a long ways from getting to the it's looking better stage but progress is being made. Plan is to go all black since my shop theme is Black & Orange. This will be a shop truck for my body shop. Not really a parts truck but more of a here is what we can do truck. I will keep posting photos throughout the process.
