Starting 1966 GMC K10 Suburban project. Last driven around 1992, sitting since then. A friend got it for me. It is going to be a slow project that needs some work (not defined yet). My grandson and I are working together on it. Body has the usual Suburban dents along with a few more, roof is good. Inside usual rust, lower “A” pillar right side, lower kick panels, floor, inner and outer rocker right side. The body frame and supports are all solid. The front and rear frame horns were modified for aftermarket bumpers.
Photos start with disassembly. New tools for this project include, gantry crane, and distribution lift bar for G crane, higher lift floor jack, tall jack stands. The 5’ I-beam lift bar is really handy for suburban body. Photo of it later.
Usual I-Pad photo sideways issue. Body being removed from frame in this picture.

Overall the chassis is pretty original, shocks, brake and fuel lines, frame brackets, body mount pads, axles,transfer case , drive shafts.
