i just converted my manual drum brakes to power drum,what a difference! i had the parts for a year if i knew it would change that much i would have done it sooner

GoaterAz · 11-22-2014, 10:05 PM

Got a group of buddies over and removed the cab and the bed.

I have no idea what I'm doing or how I got this far haha.

Scared and excited all at the same time.

Finished installing new door rubbers/felts in both doors. Not a big fan of the fit I got in the end. At least the door doesn't rattle anymore when I shut it and the windows roll up and down as they should.

Drove a couple hundred miles to pick up the new mock up wheels

Nice looking project. Can you give some closer pictures of that roof line. That looks great.

Gobuffalo · 11-23-2014, 01:06 AM

We had a marriage! After 3 years of separation the body and frame are back together.
Now for the 10000 other parts that need to go in.

Gobuffalo · 11-23-2014, 01:10 AM

Don't try this at home !!!

Now, what to do with a custom made Suburban body cart that works awesome?

This is really is going to be nice... I love that color...

Back on all four wheels finally.

Only has 3 of the 9 leafs in the front now since it is no longer a grain truck.

Sits about right but added a supplemental air bag in front just so I can adjust the height a little as the new leafs settle.

Thank you very much! I have a better picture up on my build thread. I'll be posting lots of close up pics before the cab is skim coated
