Re: my new 1963 GMC Suburban.........

Found some time to work on my Burb today , it was real fun to work on that Burb , everything worked like greased (my too) , great!

Built a "NEW" frame for the Body !

so here it is what i do today on my Truck.........



the new Frame , weld some steel together , i like it!





The Old Frame , should be updated with some "NICE Porterbuilt Stuff!




The Body alone on Jackstands , not for a long Time!




The NEW Frame under the Body with Jackstands (did i miss something)




Some "walk around" Pic´s








S**T , i should call the "AAA" to fix that damn "Tire".....




Next will be the Frame .........Monday!!!!!

I see from the white caster you found out how much these beasts weigh! You probably have extra window latches because they took out the front sliders.

Great progress! I don't know much about diecast models, but it seems like a good deal to me.

Did you get that engine from a reputable person? Reason I ask is that the GM 330hp HO350 engine comes with the Vortec heads, which your engine does not have.....just sayin.
