1969 three door with a Cummins. Project "Big Burb"
#12 is an update as of 12/22/17

I am writing a tech article for Street Trucks Magazine on a swap Big 10 Garage just finished. The donor is a 1992 2wd Dodge 250 with a Ve Pump 6bt engine and a518 automatic transmission. Look for the article soon. Next up is the suspension, then interior. We are already driving this beast and put 170 miles on it in the first 5 days.

Truck looks badass from the rendering. Are those Detroit Steel wheels? 20/22"?

Looking forward to seeing this built through.

Yes they are DSW 20x8 with 4.75 backspace all the way around. The next tech article will be on suspension. Unsure if I will be doing bags or coilovers.

The tech article is complete for Street Trucks and C10 Builder's Guide. Once the magazine comes out I will post more pictures here.

Next up is suspension. I will do a 4/6 static drop with air bags in the rear for towing.

I hope you have had time to pick up the newest issue of C10 Builder's Guide. I believe my tech starts on page 68. Next issue will be complete suspension with disc brakes and tow bags.

All suspension and brake parts are from Performance Online. The install took 3 days. Included everything in the pictures. Next up is new gears and axels, wheels and tires.

Im confused. You read the article and have questions about the "air suspension setup?" There is nothing mentioned about air suspension. There are NO plans to bag this Suburban. It is a static drop with tow bags on the rear.

i may be confused then. a couple posts above my question is a picture of a compressor, an air tank, and bags, an Airmaxx kit. I didn't realize you were solely using the bags for towing. makes sense now

Im getting older. I like the bagged look but like the dependability of a static drop.
