Re: 1950 suburban bagged

Welcome...

Nice looking Suburban. Nice to see another join the group, as we have about 4 different people building them and we are all at different points in our builds and I think that we are also going in 4 different directions on the end product.

Keep the pics coming.

Marc

Looks. Killer man. Any plans for that 54 grill? I'd love one for my 54.

Welcome and thank you for showing your Suburban build. Very cool! Doing that in a year and a half is pretty fast.

Nice ride, and it's always good to see families participating in the build. Makes it a lot more pleasant when the woman is on your side.

Re: 1950 suburban bagged

I,ve been looking at the diffent burban builds and i see some questions about fuel tanks for ls swaps. I used a 96 s-10 blazer tank because they are steel and a 2000 s-10 blazer fuel pump it feeds the motor just fine

Cool, thanks for the info. The tank is a 2 door tank, is the fuel pump assembly from a 2 door or 4 door?

Nice family wagon!

Wow, you really hit it hard to do the build. Awesome, appreciate the energy and determination. And having the family involved!

Timely information on the fuel tank as I've been thinking through mine as well. Believe Pokerpossum is using a Blazer or S10 tank as well.

Re: 1950 suburban bagged
