flashed · 02-17-2015, 10:07 PM

Im in to see this one .

Mikieb510 · 02-17-2015, 10:07 PM

More progress and a few of the 4th door pillar

Mikieb510 · 02-17-2015, 10:19 PM

My plan was to use a 2008 suburban 2500 frame and drivetrain. So from that I got a bit of a crazy idea since i had most of the 2008 burb. So as you can see a 2008 burbs floor fits perfect between the 72 rockers.

Keep it up Mike, they are a lot work aren't they?

What drivetrain are going with in yours? Trevor

Mikieb510 · 02-17-2015, 10:23 PM

I hear ya, can't stand the thought of spending big money on a newer truck. Just build what you want with the newer dependability. What frame you using? You stretching the burb frame?

Mikieb510 · 02-17-2015, 11:18 PM

Im using the 2008 burb frame i just haven't decided on length yet. I was thinking of making it a 5.5 foot box and moving the wheel arch to fit the frame. The 08 frames wheelbase is 3 inches longer than the 72.

Hendo67 · 02-18-2015, 12:24 AM

This should be interesting. I'm tagging along for the ride (since you'll have the room for passengers).

drewskiren · 02-18-2015, 01:54 AM

Mikie, I love it, nice job just diving right in, it's almost like you have a template to go by..... oh wait, you do.

**Hart_Rod** · 02-18-2015, 11:45 AM

Kewl build.

Mikieb510 · 02-18-2015, 10:12 PM

Thanks guys I've been slowly plugging away at it so i don't burn myself out on it.

Cumminpwr11 · 02-19-2015, 03:57 PM

Subscribing to another awesome crew cab build. I wish I had the balls to attempt this. lol

Nice work!

Chris

notsolo · 02-20-2015, 07:34 AM

Pretty darn slick, are the 2008 seats going to go back in with extra legroom? Awesome work, Carry On.

Bagd72Chevy · 02-20-2015, 10:16 AM

Pretty Slick, I've always wanted to do this.

Mikieb510 · 02-20-2015, 10:47 PM

The seats are spaced perfectly for dash to knee clearance. Not much visual progress this week but the floor supports are done and pillars are partially done.

flashed · 02-21-2015, 12:02 AM

It looks like quite an achievement to me .

6600DURAMAX · 02-22-2015, 04:43 PM

Mikieb510 · 02-23-2015, 11:27 PM

Well big mistake buying a cheap rocker it fit terribly. I just figured for what im doing it wouldn't make a difference. Boy was I wrong

ChuckDriver · 02-24-2015, 09:41 PM
