finally decided to do the swap

Well I finally decided to go ahead and do the swap on my 69 swb. I'm a towtruck driver and few weeks ago I had to go pick up a 2003 suburban z71 that rolled over on the freeway. The owners didn't have full cover insurance so they just left it at my yard so I gave my boss $300 for the chevy and towed it home. Now time to start taking it apart. Sorry if the pics are to big.

You sure you dont want to just fix the Suburban? Looks like it would buff out?

Nice score for 300. You will probably make that back in scrap metal
