1972 "GMC" Suburban C10

I picked this up in late May for $500, because my '72 Chevy is in worse shape than this truck. I put my 1967 C10's front clip on because I think it looks better, and I'll be putting the drivetrain from my '72 Chevy in (350 with gear drive, big cam, headers, etc). The title says it's a GMC, and this truck as originally yellow. It has a Magnaflow exhaust and American Racing AR-08's or knockoffs of those which I like. Somebody put some homemade lowering blocks in the back made out of square tubing - those are coming out and my '72 Chevy's coilovers will go in. Came with an extra front seat, extra taillight lenses, a brand new dash pad, an other odds and ends. Rough plan is to paint it satin black with larger black wheels, with a black interior.

Still on the trailer from when I first got it:

Laid some primer on it:

Either way, my gray '72 is going to have to come apart next. The others:

Re: 1972 "GMC" Suburban C10

Looks like good times ahead.. I personally agree that the 67-68 fronts look the best, but that's just me..

I just have to fill the back marker lights to match my 67 front

Time to make the brakes work:
