Re: What did you do to your Suburban Today?
Thanks Dawg... Yeah, I love how these wheels look on the ol' Sub. They are completely different now! I mean night and day different.

Re: What did you do to your Suburban Today?
I replaced my cargo door rocker, patched some door spots and the panel between the rocker and rear wheel well. That was about 7 days worth actually.

Re: What did you do to your Suburban Today?
No actual progess per se.... But I have found the old girl some new motivation
My son and I found an LM4 tucked in a 2003 Trailblazer last week. I was heading out of town, but he took off work the following day and spent not only that day, but a few hours the next removing it for me. needless to say, if you have ever worked on a Trailblazer 4x4, you know there isn't much room to begin with. Add to that the typical wrecking yard (just drop the vehicle on the ground setup) and you have a few hours added to any removal. So, this all aluminum 5.3L is going into the burb after just some major cleanup and cam swap.

Re: What did you do to your Suburban Today?
I did it now.
Took my hatch apart. What was GM thinking spot welding the flange under the crimped edge. It's very difficult to find the welds under the rust. Got it apart though. The plates for the hinges are cracked. Fortunately I don't have a lot of rust through and didn't mess the exterior piece up too much.

Re: What did you do to your Suburban Today?
I am going to add, I sand blasted the two halves of the hatch and the inside piece looks like swiss cheese.
Looks like I'll be making patches this weekend and striking up the TIG torch.

Re: What did you do to your Suburban Today?
Today I decided to start making patches and welding up the holes in the inner hatch panel. Yesterday I went nuts and started cutting out rusty metal. Uncovered an old repair we're they riveted and brazed another layer of metal over a dent in the right rear corner.

Re: What did you do to your Suburban Today?
WOW! That's major surgery. If you don't mind my asking how are you going to hold the hatch pieces when you reassemble them so the hatch won't warp? Are you going to apply a rust stopper of some sort before you put it all back together? Keep up the good work and please keep posting.

Re: What did you do to your Suburban Today?
I sold a running and driving 1970 GMC k10 suburban to buy this. When I started the suburban hobby, I decided that I would try and own the rarest!

Re: What did you do to your Suburban Today?
Was the frame restored before it was rolled? And what's up with the two trailer balls on the front? I remember going to Chester when I was a kid to visit relatives,j it was always really nice, I sure hope it has stayed that way. Good luck on the body swap.

Re: What did you do to your Suburban Today?
It was restored after being rolled. I think the trailer balls on front were installed to move it around. Chester is still very nice!
