Triple axle stretched 1970 GMC suburban

Anyone ever see or hear of this thing before?

Think that has been on here before, I know I've seen it before somewhere

It's been posted on here a couple of times. Been quite a while ago though. I'm not sure if anyone saved any of the pictures to the board.

Goes to show you that you never get the money out of your projects. I am sure that cost a heck of a lot more than $4500 to do.

Problem is most people would not have any place to park that thing unless you are blessed to have a large property.

Especially when your project doesn't make any sense! That thing is ridiculous.

Isn't there a licensing rule that you have to have a special endorsement to drive a vehicle with multiple rear axels?

Wow, is that a factory optioned burb? LOL

Creative minds........

**Advanced Design** · 05-24-2015, 05:47 PM

That would have been an expensive build. Wow, what would you do with that today?

Tropical Snowstorm · 05-24-2015, 06:59 PM

I think I have the truckin magazine from the 90s with that in it. Mega buck build for sure, and considering it looks about the same as it did it was well built and kept up pretty decent.... As for what in the world to do with... Not the most practical thing I've ever seen.

She's pretty rusty now. Not kept up well for sure. I guess there was no room for it inside the garage.

If the tub was solid,you might be able to make it back into a sub, and part the chassis out?? Price really isn't all that bad for what is there.

I see no real use for it as is though, unless you had a ridiculous 40ish ft go fast look good boat with multiple 502's that you take to the lake on the weekends....

Parking that thing around town would be insane!

Manatee Poacher · 05-25-2015, 02:57 AM

On the plus side - it was done so tastefully I'm sure the neighbors wouldn't mind if you had to park it on the street!
