Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Nice score on the Camaro
![]() It looks to be in fairly good shape.....at least body wise. It's hard to believe that they can still be found in that condition.

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Alright, seriously now...Scott is going to paint the Camaro for us and has been helping us start the tear down. Very cool that he is taking the time from a busy schedule (he can't even find time to finish his own rig - http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=317967
![]() ![]() There's a thread going in the general 60-66 message board about "working together"...Scott is proving that it is still going on in OK. ![]() ![]()

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Very Nice.........can't wait to see the finished product. Was looking through all of your pics and noticed it came with all of the original seats. Would you still happen to have them? If so, would you want to sell them? We've been looking for the original front seat but have had very little luck. Let us know. Thanks.

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Nothing better than seeing family involved in different projects, quality time for sure. And creating great memories at the same time. The work you guys do is a pleasure to watch, thank you so much for sharing it all with us. A burb AND a camaro, i'm jeleaous beyond words! A question if you don't mind: most of the 60-66 suburbans i've seen, seems to have short wheel bases, did they not make them both long and short wheel base like the trucks? Here in my little part of the world, those 60-66 suburbans are really few and far between, and the few we see seems to be "shortbeds". And i think almost all the suburbans i've seen on here are shorties too. Just wondering, since here we use our trucks as trucks and shortbed trucks are not that wanted. But i would really like to get a suburban like yours, but would prefer it to be a long wheelbase, for loading capacity. It's just that i've never seen one, hence my question.
Thanks again for letting us share your adventures!

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
So there are long wheel base panels out there? Never seen one of those either, but that answers my question. Thanks, RockTonka.

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Yep. They're out there, but I'm not sure how easy it would be to find one. I thought I had a pic of one but can't seem to find it. I'm sure if you do a Google search though, you'll come up with some pics. If I come across one, I'll post it for ya.
