That two seat panel truck idea would be pretty cool.

Using the newer Tahoe floor would allow you to pull the third row seats and flip down the second row and turn it into a two seater with room for a bed in the back if you wanted. A little short but not too bad. If I remember right it is right at 6' clear in the back of my Tahoe. I will have to measure it now.

Keeping it the full Suburban length would make it more functional but I like the looks of the shorter vehicle better.

Those look sweet..

**Dieselwrencher** · 03-18-2012, 12:18 AM

Very nice, that's going to look awesome. Is it me, or will you need to lift the front a little to get it to sit level?

68 TT · 03-18-2012, 12:24 AM

Good looking tires. They should do well in the snow.

FrankieD · 03-18-2012, 12:39 AM

Bigger is better. They look real nice

I cant belive how well this project is laying out! ride height and rubber look good!

67c10rustbuket · 04-01-2012, 12:46 AM

Okay Iv'e been waiting patiently for my crazy fix Wade, Where are you?

On a side note I think it is a little off level too and to fix this I suggest lifting the front 2" then the rear lift 4" and then another 6" in the front. That should do it

Dude that's funny!,,,reminds me of my barber "little off here,, a little more off here,,,maybe a little more off here" next thing I know my hair's all gone.

I'm still around and I have been working on Tangerine,,,,the problem is I lost my garsh darn camera! (how embarrassing). Mostly been finishing up the cab connections to the floor/firewall and rockers ect. I probably will take some time off from working on her for a couple of weeks to do spring cleaning (maybe I'll find my camera!). I'll keep ya posted,,, thanks again for all the interest.

I hate when I misplace stuff. Good luck with the spring cleaning. I have been doing that for the past month and still can't find some parts I know I bought.

Don't worry the older you get the worse it gets. I was hunting for my box I set up for wiring lugs and stuff I hunted for an hour and gave up and went back to work on my trailer and it was on the deck of the trailer, I don't remember putting it there.

72blueshark · 04-06-2012, 11:19 AM

this build is awesome! great thinking with the Tahoe drive train. i will definitely be following even if just for the sake that my name is also wade :p

That would be a lot funnier if it wasn't so true for me too! I think I'd loose my head if wasn't bolted on!

Did you get snow the other day? We were at 60 degrees & sunny one day and two inches of snow the next. I wish mother nature would make up her mind.

I know, I know. Hopefully I'll find the camera soon. Hate to have to spend money on a new one (would rather put the money into the truck).

We got a little up in the heights. Our elevation starts out at 750 ft. above sea level and goes up to 1500 ft. in the heights. I know your around 3000 ft. so you'll get the worst of the weather. hopefully it won't stay cold clear into June like it did last year.

I hope spring is here too. I didn't get much done last year due to the lousy weather early on.
