1972 Suburban and 1971 Airstream.

Its hard not to have a big head rolling down the road like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If only the women thought it was cool!!!!!!

krue · 11-19-2006, 01:41 PM

The right one would.

dhill3443 · 11-19-2006, 01:56 PM

I'm with you all the way. Nice set up. I have a 1971 18' Volunteer Camper that will be pulled by a 1985 Chevy Scottsdale when I finish working on the truck. Our family loves camping too.

RANDY COX · 11-19-2006, 04:42 PM

Wow That's Vintage (cool)<><><>

Elsie72 · 11-19-2006, 06:27 PM

Do those Airstreams really tow as good as I've heard they do?

Nice setup, btw.

I am jealous!

Southedisto · 11-19-2006, 10:46 PM

That is sweet!

**zeusflash** · 11-19-2006, 11:54 PM

That is outrageously cool!!!!!!!!!!! I only have one problem with it.......my wife saw it and now she wants one to pull behind her freshly restored 72 4X4 Suburban!!!!!!!!!!!!!

shaneschevys · 11-20-2006, 01:56 AM

**Canadian694x4** · 11-20-2006, 02:48 AM

**burb71** · 11-20-2006, 01:44 PM

I wanted to be the one to post this type pic, but I'm still a few years off.
My 1971 Burb is still undone, and I sold my vintage 1956 airstream.
I want to more match the time line with a late 60' early 70s airstream.
For when my wife & kids go camping in the Florida keys.

FOR NOW, YOU ARE THE MAN, I LOVE YOUR SETUP,

72LoBurb · 11-22-2006, 03:11 PM

You are King!

I have been dreaming of the same set-up since I bought my 'burb, but I still need to do some more work to ensure that a c-notched chassis will be up to the task of pulling a holiday trailer.

Looks pretty sweet. Maybe someday....
