Re: calling all 2wd suburbans!!!

I sure wish I could get started on my 67. Those burbs are really inspiring.

Re: calling all 2wd suburbans!!!

Just got myself a 69 Suburban. I don't have pics yet, but I will soon. It's been too cold and rainy here to get the camera out.

Here's the '69 1/2 ton I picked up a while back. I'm making some progress on it but I had to re-do some things on it that were not done right...

Re: calling all 2wd suburbans!!!




Here is my 68 GMC. It's been under the knife for the last year. Just hung the front clip back on and installing hood hinges.
Lots of nice burbs on this thread, I've got a long way to go to catch up!

The grey isn't factory, it was originally yellow.

Re: calling all 2wd suburbans!!!

Is this the elusive and rare 2 door Sub? The one with the fake 3rd door? ����Just kidding, it looks like you shaved the side door handle but is it still opened only from the inside, correct/incorrect? Because I like that cleaner look with no handle. Very nice job of bringing it back to life for usage, also like that solid gray color.

Re: calling all 2wd suburbans!!!

Pics of my 70 Sub, built by unknown, will be refined a little by me. 350, TBI possibly a late 90's engine but I haven't gotten to the block number yet. Appears to be a 2000ish donor for the interor and maybe the steering column. C notched and bagged in the rear, front end replacement and also believe it to be the late 90's version. Still trying to put the story together without much luck so I am digging in every chance I get.

Re: calling all 2wd suburbans!!!

Definitely going to rebuild that dashboard and clean it all up, maybe sink the high dollars into a Dakota as everybody who has one is happy with them. That will be my first focus as I finish my 69 truck by the target date of this summer.
