Re: 71 BB GMC Suburban Befor and After!!!

I like it,except for the GMC to Chevy conversion.Did you ask him why??The bold GMC grille looks at it`s best on a big 4wd,IMO.Although,they look good in all forms.

Did he swap the Chevy grille onto GMC fenders? It looks like it still has the GMC emblems on the fenders.

Call me crazy but I liked it better the way it looked in the first picture as it was when you sold it to him. MO

He likes the looks of the 69-70 chev is why he changed it. I believe that it still has the GMC fenders on it for now. I think that he trimmed the inside of the grill to make it fit. When he does the restoration on the truck is when everything will be done with the correct fenders. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com
