Back in a squarebody

Well after owning my 65 long bed for close to 7 years , i decided to sell it and buy another GMC square body. Ended up finding a poorly taken care of 73 GMC super custom 1500 suburban. I dropped it back down to a respectable level, and have been replacing the 80s aftermarket junk with factory GMC bits. Still have a ways to go, Shes not perfect, but it works. Ill post more build pictures as i find more parts. -Jimmy-

That looks great.
Is it a 3/4 ton? Looks like it was sitting up pretty high before.
