1952 GMC Suburban/S10 Swap

[pokerpossum]

First of all, let me say that I have NEVER done a project like this, and I am definitely a rookie. Having said that, I am having a ball with this build.

It all started a couple of years ago when I saw a Suburban drive by that was really cool....so I started reading blogs and figured I would like to try an S10 frame swap under a 1947-54 Suburban. I told my friends and a month later my cousin called and said he knew a guy with a Suburban that he never fixed up.

So this is the Suburban as I bought it.


The next item was to find a long bed regular cab S10 pickup. So, I go to a moving sale, and there, under 6 inches of pine needles is an S10. I ask the guy if it is for sale, and he says yes. I offer him $200.00 for it if he can get it running. Two hours later, he calls me and has it running, and I have found a complete regular cab, long bed S10.

Here's the S10 as I bought it.
