Ok,
so everyone wanted to see some pics of the suburban so here it is:
I have since replaced the grill, bumper, with driver chrome pieces. Yes, those are the whitewalls I put on the truck, hers has the original 71 C10 wheels on it for right now, they arent too bad as I even have the center caps for them.
I will try to get some interior pics soon and of the engine compartment etc soon.
And this is what I picked up today for my wife's old suburban.
I SCORED on this baby, I believe it is just a dana36 although dont care as this burban won't be a race car and don't plan on driving a slalom with it. LOL and YES, I got the wheels as I couldn't find the key for the lugnutz so I had to buy them.
I have since took it by the car wash and pressure washed it ( didn't come out very good because of lack of pressure) down. It is sitting in the shop ready for when I finish my truck and get her back on the road.
I have to make a jig so I can shorten the frame 9" since it is a longbed frame that I picked up for it.
My wife was almost as happy as I was after I got it. She said once the kids get back in school she might head to the shop a couple hrs a week to scrub it down so it will be clean during install.
My wife has already picked a powdercoat color for the frame LMAO, she wants the frame a dark blue metallic powdercoat, and all the suspension parts polished up.
I told her it wont be easy for HER to polish it up once it is complete because she will have to lay under it to do it.
