Re: 94 Suburban to Crew Build: The 50/50 Turban

Hope y'all like updates.....because, it's update time.

First off - new frame. After it was all said and done...we looked over the half-ton frame and made a decision that it wasn't big or strong enough - so we did the next best thing. Go bigger. And go bigger, means, big, beefy framerails. Big beefy framerails from a '54 Chevy commercial truck...1 1/2-ton or 2-ton, not quite sure.

Here's some before pics...with the half-ton frame still there, but a comparison.



After cutting off the half-ton frame



New rails in place. Old frame is encased in the big frame.


Now to give everyone a good idea of what this damn thing will look like..



And...goodies.

First of all...new front clip. Actually...the '98 front clip, off of the parts truck we had.



Next, new back doors. Off of I think a '96 Suburban. That means...newer style door panels.
