Re: building 1958 chevy suburban

Re: building 1958 chevy suburban

Thanks, I think the 58-59 front ends look better on the burbans, they fit the size of the truck a little bit better.

Re: building 1958 chevy suburban

I love those 58-59 trucks and Burbans! The smoothies put that thing way over the top. You will like your front end I've installed a bunch of Justins stuff it always fits great.
