Second Chance Suburban (SCS)
 

I bought this 71 suburban on ebay for 400 dollars with the plans on cutting it up to build a 3 door pickup went i got it home my friends were saying dont cut it built it and make it a family ride so the ideal stuck with me so i started work on getting a title for it sence it only had a bill of sell went i bought it and a little over a year i now have got a title for it so now its time to start on it i have been buying parts for it i bought a 98 silverado for the drive train and a set of 96 suburban seats so maybe i can get some good ideals from this site for it

OK, here's my idea. Stock, with some minor upgrades. Drivetrain-wise almost anything is possible because it's a Chevy. Since you mentioned it could be a family ride, put a/c in it, a 350 maybe with fuel injection and a 700R4, the right rear gears. If you do most of the work yourself you'll have a basically new Suburban, but at 1/10 the price. And way cooler.

Looks like a great start. Wish mine had been that rust free. I see they removed the spare tire well. I have that piece if you are interested in putting it back in.

Keep posting progress pictures. They help motivate the rest of us as well.
