Still feeling it out.... number one is to make it a daily driver that I can take to shows on the weekend. We will see where we go from there. I just retired after 25 years in the US Air Force so I have time on my hands, we will see if I have the talent to pull this off.

CATMdude45 · 03-28-2016, 05:38 PM

Thanks for the welcome... This has been a dream come true....I have been thinking of a first series Chevy truck for ages, now I get to take the journey....looking forward to learning from all of you!

New to the forum. Here's Clarke, (named after my late uncle) 53 (5) window I acquired just over a year ago. So far I have dropped the axle and installed posie's lowering springs along with some other suspension bits. New wheels and rubber all the way around. Still has the stock motor and drive line. He will be a work in progress for some time to come. Not sure what direction I want to go with it yet.

mphudak · 05-04-2016, 10:11 PM

finally got a couple worthy of posting

**youngrodder** · 05-05-2016, 09:17 PM

Great looking Suburban. How about some interior shots.
Love it

Wow this wheel/tire/stance set up is perfect! Mind sharing where you got the wheels and tires from and what size everything thing is? (Wheels & Tires) Thanks! Truck is beautiful!

No problem. 4" dropped axle from droppedaxles.com. Contact Sid, he is a great help. 3" drop posies leaf springs front and rear. 4" lowering blocks rear. Wheels from wheelsmith.com. They are the stock backspacing and dimensions. I will get back with the tire specs.

This is how I found it....good body....not the original engine, still straight six. No rust but I think many after market panels. Not looking to make it a show truck but want to make it nice enough to take to a show on the weekend.
