Re: '60 GMC Suburban (Project D-Daddy)
What are you doing in Vancouver? Whats going on with the vehicles?
My wife and Mom are in Seattle now and are going to be in BC in a few days. I had to stay home and work, plus it was a girls trip. Two other women went along too, I chose to stay home. They are going on a cruise ship to Alaska, so it will be fun for them. |

Re: '60 GMC Suburban (Project D-Daddy)
That's good man. I am actually in Victoria, which is on Vancouver Island, not Vancouver the city. I am going to school up here and living with my wonderful girlfriend. The 'burb is down in Astoria at a friends house until I figure out what I am doing and if I can make room to bring it up. Until then....no progress.
![]() Hope all is well. I haven't been on the board much lately because life is in full swing summer mode.

Re: '60 GMC Suburban (Project D-Daddy)
Hey Cort,
I think you have my camper there. I have pics of it being pulled behind my truck!... Awesome to see that really cool burb is on the road. I know you are stoked! I included a pic of the 60 as it looks now. Nothing much has changed except wheels and tires and I cleaned up the wood in the bed. What's up with moving to Canada? Steve

Re: '60 GMC Suburban (Project D-Daddy)
Small world! I knew I had seen this burb before and was thinking where? I was camping near you guys at BP! I drove my '35 Phaeton down from up here, I am about 40 minutes north of Vic City. I chatted with you and your girl for a bit about the burb and trailer. You camped with all the Estranged guys right? Too funny. We went in 2010 too
How you liking Victoria? I am born and raised there. -Shiny

Re: '60 GMC Suburban (Project D-Daddy)
Been a long time since any real updates on my 'burb. Being that it sits in Oregon while I go to school in Victoria, I don't get much accomplished. I did get down there this weekend though to drive it and check out my ebay score.
OG HUBCAPS! Three are a little beat and will need some massaging to look decent. But only paid $50 for all 4 and since they are quite rare, I think I did alright. I brought them back up to Victoria with me so I can restore them properly. I took some pics (please ignore all the mold and running rust, she has been sitting in the NW for 6 months). It was nice to drive her again and get everything warmed up. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: '60 GMC Suburban (Project D-Daddy)
Cool suburban, and the retro trailer. I looked through your blog, the V6 engine I have never seen up here. At first glance the valve covers look like the 348, 409 engines. The spark plugs on the inside of the cylinder heads, that is a little strange for sure. Keep the burb pics coming.

Re: '60 GMC Suburban (Project D-Daddy)
Hey Cort, I'm luvin your burb. I hope you get on here soon and keep us up to date. I've got a 63 burb coming from WA. I'm sure It'll need the gas tank reworked. So I was glad to read what/how you did yours. I'm going to have to find places to do that kind of work. I'm in WVa but am really close to Northern Va where there is a lot more shops and stuff.
Come on back and see us, sit a spell ![]()

Re: '60 GMC Suburban (Project D-Daddy)
Alright!
I am making some progress finally. Albeit, small progress. I am finally getting around to restoring my hubcaps that I won off of ebay a few months ago. Here are some pics of one that is primered and ready for paint and a pic of the worst one after sand blasting. That one is going to take some massaging to look presentable, but I'll make it work. ![]() ![]()

Re: '60 GMC Suburban (Project D-Daddy)
OK! I finally pulled the suburban out last week after a year. I had to adjust the points but then she fired right up and idled. Every time. However, the damn clutch was frozen to the flywheel so it took a little bit of persuasion to get that thing loose. I drove it around the block a couple of times and then parked it. Now that it is ready to go, in the next few weeks I am going to bring it home from storage and finally start some more work on her, so stand by. . . .

Re: '60 GMC Suburban (Project D-Daddy)
Bringing home? Meaning back to Portland or up to Canada? I have not read anything on the square body forum since the Oregon square body Suburban member was banned. He did the 5.3 swap on his square body Suburban.
Since I retired I've been to Michigan, Arizona, Utah and Colorado. I'm getting highway fever again and thinkiing about a trip that includes the Columbia River Gorge. If your back in Oregon we can meet up. Not sure when it will be though. |

Re: '60 GMC Suburban (Project D-Daddy)
Did you finish school or use up your visa? Bringing the lady back with you? Let me know when you get settled in and I'll try to plan the trip around your being back in Oregon.
We are going back to Michigan/Ohio in October for a few weeks to see the fall colors back east. |

Re: '60 GMC Suburban (Project D-Daddy)
Let's see. . .no, no and no. My lady and I are done, school was only being pursued to stay in Canada and my visa is still good but I really miss Portland. My job here actually begged me not to leave and it was hard to make the decision. Actually, if the job market in Portland is weak then I may end up back here. It was a really good job and they want me bad. But I will be in Portland definitely through October and hopefully for good.
On a different note, I scored a sweet set of 67-72 seat belts for the amazing cost of FREE. Pics to follow.

Re: '60 GMC Suburban (Project D-Daddy)
So I got these out of our crane truck at work today. I super low mileage '68 chevy 2 1/2 ton. These things are damn near mint with only a couple stains and hardly any fading. Super stoked.
I know they are the wrong era, but they are GM and for the colors I am going to go with on the inside they are perfect. ![]()
