66 suburban aka the sub

Hi all I have been lurking around this site and reading through allot of great builds, I have just earlier this year finished a 69 c10 build and now I have jumped into project number two a 66 suburban,I purchased this suburban back in march of 2012,it came as a body and two frames and some extra parts,I have been working as we go on the burb while reading some really cool threads and meeting some cool people along the way well here we go.

Welcome to another Burb lover, I'm glad to see another 1 being saved. Did you get all the original seats? I see your's had all 3 rows.

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub

Thanks Mike you have a cool burb build going also I kinda got hooked on these old trucks and ran across this one in Las Vegas on craigs list, I picked it up because it was pretty rust free, It looks like someone tried bondo over a bunch of small dents,ive since stripped it and sent to my painter in California,those picks will be soon.
