I'm diggin that sucker more and more. How good is the liftgate? Shake it and see if you hear rust rattling around inside it.

Cool, it still has special paint though

Thanks! I am to, Hopefully clean up and install some new seals on these axles soon. Swap them in so I actually feel comfortable driving the damn thing and enjoy it. Might take a little longer than it should. I want to lift it at the same time and the 68s are a bit tricky so I got to do some research. I want to do it right. I have some 16x8 "rally" wheels I will probably run after the 3/4 swap

The liftgate is solid man, I didn't see any signs of rust or even close to it but I'll shake it good just for you.

I paid 2,000 for it less than a month ago so I would want the same. If not I will just drive it and keep it or give it to my 17 year old brother.

I really like the way it sits as is. That was a steal. I'm glad I didn't see it, it would be in my driveway as well. Keep us posted on your progress-nice to see you back.

Its nice but it needs to LOOK like a 4x4. If I am swapping the axles I might as well throw some springs on it while its all apart.

thanks man I will start a build thread once I have all the parts for the first stage.

Re: 68 GMC suburban 4x4 50th anniversary
Awesome burb!

Hey can you take some detailed photo's of the seat covers for me?

I am gonna have to have a set of three made from scratch, since no one makes 67/68 pattern OEM covers for the burbs. I have a source for the fabric and vinyl now, so that is no longer a problem.

I'm interested in close ups of the fabric insert, the back panels, and the best close up you can get of the vinyl grain.

Thanks!

Oh, if you find a company that makes new springs for this baby then let me know who it is! I can't find any of the usual companies that make 67/68 leafs, so I had to have my originals re-arched and I'd be interested in a set of new ones.

Yeah too bad some of the pictures don't load now.

But on the 1st page it looks good.

Any updates on the 'burb?

Re: 68 GMC suburban 4x4 50th anniversary
Thanks everyone I got it lifted with a dana 60 under the front. Swapping in 454 tbi/th400/np205 from an 87 1 ton I have a build thread which I haven't updated in forever also. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=312252

I bought a house so priorities have changed. Plus been super busy with my other passion of Strongman competitions.

I plan on towing it out to my new house and getting back to working on it next month!
