Swap barn doors to clam shell, 350/700r,air, air ride,steelies and caps.Undecided on color. I've been watching your build and it's pumping me up:metal:.O'yea you would'nt happen to have the rear tailpan for a tailgate sub you might want to sale?

I am at about the same point in my '66 build. Got a 5.7 TBI/700r4 in it with painless wiring. Starting to do suspension and 4 whl discs now. Would love to trade out my barn doors for clamshell, if anyone is interested.

Re: 66 suburban build
 

nice start looks solid,:metal:

Re: 66 suburban build
 

Got out the spot weld cutter and drilled out all the welds on the rockers.I was very happy to find how good the inner rockers and pillars were in. I'll blast the firewall,jams and drip rails tomorrow and shoot epoxy primer on it while im waiting on some patch panels.
