1971 C20 GMC Suburban original orange paint. Factory air and tilt. No Rust

1970 C20 2WD custom 90% original paint
1972 CST Blazer full restoration.
1972 C10 SWB factory air

All five original color from factory

Did I come to the right place for treatment?

If you "tell" her that one of them is hers maybe she will become infected with "THE" illness. I "TOLD" mine she could pick out the paint color (as long as it's red) now she comes out to the garage to check things out and get involved...sort of.

To hugger6933: the wheels on both 2WD 3/4 ton pickups are Weld Super singles with full caps to cover the lug nuts. Tires are 265/75-16 Michelin A/S. I stole one set off of my wife's 2000 3/4 ton suburban. I did put factory wheels back on her rig. She didn't even notice.

I am looking for a set of weld super single 6 lug for the SWB.

Only 6 trucks and you're cut off!!! Time for a divorce hahaha My buddy and I just had to move from one house to another and we didn't realize how many vehicles were there till now. 40 vehicles were kept...20+ were scraped. It's just so hard to pass up a good deal lol

And here's more pics of the GMC. I have a 1969 donor suburban with a good roof. Robert Bates of 67-72 Tahoe will convert the orange suburban back to original for me soon.

Is this a high hump or low hump tranny cover? I'm about to order carpet. I think I am going with Brothers for the carpet. I want full loop.

I will be putting a 67-68 buddy bucket combo in front and two more rows of seats.

Thanks for all the comments and support.

Why would you want to do away with the high roof ambulance?

[Dads69C10]

I agree, i like the ambulance top!

[jwgeorge]

You have not come to the right place to avoid the addiction, because in my honest opinion, I think you need a 3/4-ton Longhorn too! Ha ha!!!

[LEEVON]

I spoke with your wife, she said I can have the Blazer. Thanks.

[Shaky]

I know a man who had a fleet of 67-72 chevy trucks. They were all some shade or red. He had ONE registration.

[Pop's C-10]

He need a orange stepper,,

[Jobe72]

Please don't convert that ambulance! That is awesome! Nice collection by the way.

I don't like to tell people to do with their vehicles, but read this thread for my opinion on ambulances:

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ight=ambulance

Being an ambulance enthusiast I hate to hear the dreaded "and then I'm going to cut the top off...", but I understand it. Right now people won't pay as much for a nice ambulance as they will for a nice, low mileage suburban. But looking at your glove box tag I think it's safe to say that rig never did any time on the road with a "normal" top. It was ordered destined to go to an ambulance conversion shop, and for all intents and purposes it is more "original" now than it will be if you replace the top with a flat one. If you don't have all the interior stuff anymore it's not so bad, but it would be a shame to tear up an all-original rig to make it into just another suburban. If it had more of the interior left I would say try to sell it and put the money toward the burb you want, but as clean as it looks I definitely see the attraction of making it into a low mile regular burb.

I know this feeling I'm setting on a few to many here myself.

[FRENCHBLUE72]
