It's official .... It's mine !

Just sealed the deal at $ 2,250.00 Brother-in law will start dismantling the 67 in two weeks to start the frame off. Not too sure on the direction of the build at this time. I'm a happy guy

Re: It's official .... It's mine !

Congrats! You got a good deal.

Is this your first Suburban? That '67 has lots of potential.

I know you said you wanted air. The aftermarket has this handled for you. Check out the vendors forum

You might find someone to trade barn doors for clam shell. I prefer barn doors but my hatch and gate is slowly growing on me.

Re: It's official .... It's mine !

Good choice! You got a heck of a burb, and at a fair price.

Take pictures of EVERYTHING before you take it apart.
When I started my restoration, digital cameras were not around. So snapping 35mm at every single part was expensive.

Lucky for you most of the burb specific parts are reproduced these days.

This will be my second suburban. I had a 03 with a 8.1 litre, quad seats and a bunch of other dealer installed goodies.
