I will say, if I didn't have so much history with this truck already, and if the body on the 3+3 had been as clean as my Suburban, I probably would have just swapped and built the 3+3 instead. In the end, that, coupled with the fact that the Suburban has a good bit more back seat room and a shorter wheelbase which is generally easier to maneuver on and off road, helped me to decide to go this route. If I ever find a clean crew, I'd certainly consider building it though.

I just finished sorting my photos from the build so far. A little over 1,000 photos from the last year of work. Hopefully that will provide the motivation I need to start this thread rolling.
