Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP

Man! I am peanut butter and jealous! I did a google search and stumbled upon this thread. I'm glad I did! I have a 49 suburban and I want to do the same thing! I never thought about using the complete floor pan and fire wall but such a great idea!! I was just planning to use the rolling chassis and engine...

There is an article in Hot Rod magazine on line about a group that did the exact same thing to your era of suburban. Check it out!!!

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP

Man the burban is coming out amazing!! Wish I had the balls to attempt something like this and be able to pull it off like you did. You have made fast ground on a body swap like this.. playing around with cabs is nothing compared to playing around with a burban body (size and weight)!

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP

This looks fantastic! I'm in the middle of a chassis swap from an awd full size van with a '69 body and wondering about your core support. Looks like you "channeled" it to fit over the frame horns which I have been thinking about for my project, but my radiator is too wide. Looks like your radiator fits in between the frame? Would you go the same route again or lower the frame horns? Again, looks great and love the outside of the box attitude.

Thanks!

I used the radiator and frame from the trailblazer, yes it fit between the framerails. It all went together fairly easy, i would do it the same way again.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP

She's a runner!

I took yesterday off from work to get the burb running and it was a sucsess. It runs and drives great!! I took it to a show last night and got alot of positive feedback.

I only did enough wiring to get it running, so there is still lots to do. But, im really excited that i can at least drive this heap and work on it at the same time.
