'60 GMC Suburban (Project D-Daddy)

Hello everyone! Here is my new project. I bought from the original owner's son, Dennis. I am calling the project D-Daddy because it was his "Daddy's" suburban and all the stories he had about it started out "Daddy"....So I figured it was apt. Dennis is a super nice man and I am glad to have met him. His Father bought it new in 1960 and it was in eastern Oregon until about 10 years ago. It sat in Newberg, OR for the last 8 years without being driven.

When I got it, nothing worked at all. It has 116,xxx miles on it. I have had it two days now and I got the engine running, and the rear wheel cylinders replaced. As soon as I save up some more money I will replace the front wheel cylinders and master cylinder and then I will be able to see if this old girl will drive and stop.

My plans for it are quite simple. Get it running, lower it, keep everything else close to original. Then I will move on from there.

I'll stop jabbering and show you guys some pics:
The Day I got it-
