Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family

Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family
I will give you a call! I would love to see the parts off the white burb go to good use! It was a 91 (last square) so it had the TBI 350, 4L80E, and a NP241! It only had 128K on the clock. I know they took the truck up to Denver... It really was a GREAT (but ugly) truck. I drove it off the guard rail! I gotta get some stuff done today, but I will let you know as soon as I hear back from the insurance company Tuesday!

Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family
So... I think a 2001 Camry with a new engine should pay for a trip to Colorado to pick up my Suburban, don't you?
Should have the car sold this month, then IT'S ON!!!!!!! |
Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family
Its about time! lol Hope all go's well.
|
Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family
Maybe we can talk my younger bro into picking it up on his way back to Ca in the next 2 weeks. :lol:

Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family
Alright, The Camry is going away this weekend... but I won't be going out to get the burb until after my sister-in-law has her baby... family always takes priority. But after that we are heading out to CO!!!!!
I posted this picture and got positive feedback, so I am feeling VERY confident about this grille mod! before https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-F...d%2520work.JPG after https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3...%2520work2.JPG So who wants to be my roadside assistant when I make this trip? Once I know dates, I will post my map and itinerary. The whole fam is excited about going back to the Springs. |
Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family
Nice mod on the grill. Is it very difficult to do? I would offer roadside assistance but if you go through Washington State I can only offer you directions.:lol:

Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family
I went and got the grille today!
A grille shell and a tailgate do fit in the back of an 08 Malibu. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-a...0602105059.jpg Some of the major damage that I need to take care of first https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-1...0602134007.jpg Not perfect, but getting better https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-6...0602135949.jpg I just need to plannish it out a little bit, but the grille shell is ready for mods! The upper trim will get reworked eventually. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-n...0602140345.jpg https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-n...0602140030.jpg Here is my tailgate. I was thinking I would cut out the "GMC" and weld it into my tailgate, but after seeing how nice this one was I am not going to. I remembered that I got this tailgate to replace my original. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-G...0602210106.jpg Here is what the grille and tailgate came off of. This was my FIRST truck. I bought it when I was 16 (1996). It got parted out right before I left for Wyoming back in 04-05. I kept the title, vin, grille, core support, hood, and tailgate. I still have the rolling chassis too. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-J...800/img066.jpg |
Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family
I thought about using the GMC on the back of my suburban but mine has barn doors. I even have a beat up GMC tailgate I could use. Still working on my idea.
Still have my truck I got when I was 16. Glad I didn't have to part it out. Its the other truck in the garage now. |

Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family
Great work on the grill. I like the mod you have in mind for it. Sorry we couldn't get something worked out with my bro to get your burb home. Nice project shell. What's in store for it?
