![]() ![]() The 92 Suburban has 2 things that I do hate in a 4x4. 4 Speed Automatic Transmission, And Stock Axles. So, I am planning to Rebuild The Suv. First to go is the Old Engine, Second will be the Automatic Trans & Steering Column. Then I will be removing my FF Dana 60's from my 1973 GMC Super Custom 4x4. The transmission will be replaced by a 4 Speed Manual Trans that was rebuilt 2 yrs ago with NP208 Gear Driven Transfercase. In-between replacing the Axles, I will add my Rough Country 4" Lift Kit so I can replace the 235/75R16's with my 35x12.50R16 Mickey Thompson Baja tires. I will also be rebuilding the Front Clip. Getting Rid of the Plastic and Going back to what I know, I will be replacing the front clip from a 1989 Suburban. The SUV has already been colored primer black. So alot of all of this has already been done. Now we get to the Engine, I have a 2 Bolt 1998 Vortec Engine with Eddlebrock Performance Parts already built for this truck. What I am planning is to do a full custom build to this truck and I want to bring yall along for the ride. Converting the Suburban into a truck might be tricky but with other builders here, I feel confident that I can get help. So I might just have use for the 73 Split Window Cab. So the 8 passenger Suv might just be missing the 3rd Row Bench Seat after all. I am gonna build a Monster like the 1979 CUVU GMC High Sierra Jimmy. ![]() 1980 Chevy C10 Pros: New bench Seat Rebuilt Manual Trans Rebuilt Rear Possi Axle New Breaks New Break Lines New Rotors New Front Calipers New Battery New Speedometer Cable New Tail Lights New Headlights Fresh Oil Change & Filter I have 2 Offset R15 5x5 Lug Rims for 33x14.50 Tires Cons: Needs New Tires Needs New Windshield (Old One still does fine) Needs Rear View Mirror Needs a Tune Up 3 Different Colors (Needs a Paint Job) ![]() 1992 Chevy K2500 Suburban ![]() ![]() ![]()

I am sure ya do, I built her from the ground up. And its had at leased 2 front clips rebuilt because I have hit deer or an elk. But with the 292 -L6 under the hood she powers through just like a v8
