Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
 

Well hard to tell in the pictures i have 3 inch springs in the front with a 2 1/2 drop spindles, and in the rear i have 4 inch drop springs with 2 inch blocks may see how that comes out,the tires in the pics are really small,will steal my 69 c10 wheels off when i get it home for reference.It has 20x10 in the rear and 20x8 in the front, then i may go 22 in the rear of the burb,the truck has a 4x6 drop on it

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
 

suburban is still getting cut and buffed rear glass has been installed slow pace but we are still moving,almost time to start piecing the puzzle back together

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
 

couple more pics,had to track down core support panels for the front top core support,had to track down my rear hood bumper mounts and some new door checks,has anyone installed the door checks,I have found they dont move by hand,maybe mounting will make them move

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
 

painting the inside floor and gonna lay down son dynamat hopefully kill some noise

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
 

I like your color combo !!
Very slick.
I too am running a smoke grey, and combo between gloss, semi gloss, and flat black in my build with a metallic charcoal grey trim/accent.
I am looking forward to seeing how you dress out the interior !!
Great photos :metal:

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
 

McMurphy thanks for kind words gonna def keep you informed on the interior,im gonna have to pop in on your build.the colors are coming out just perfect ill post more when i can

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
 

The shiny paint looks nice... Color always brings with it a huge sigh of relief and a flush of renewed ambition.. Looks good man...

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
 

thanks hemi,paint does bring on ambition it is a hurdle you have to cross during the race hopefully soon we can post some more pics of the fun stuff

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
 

69 Chevy 1 we need an update on where you're at on this beautiful Burb! I'm really digging the color combo.

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
 

Burb back in Las Vegas from L.A. colors are done all parts painted,we have installed front and back windows I still need to build all sliders,I had the headliner installed in black suede front and rear seats done 1964 chevy impala material,and complete floor carpeted and edging inside is very cool, thought I would share not I need to build this thing.

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
 

More picture about the truck hope you guys like,headliner is one piece with bows in the rear the go all the way across the truck. my guy did a very nice job,he also made covers for the rear of the seats backs frames are powder coated seat back covers go around the bars very very nice

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
 

could not help it i backed my 69 cst out of the garage because I needed to see this thing with wheels, will have to adjust the ride ht a bit and maybe tire size I may even go with 22s but i thought it looked cool with the 20 coys allot of work for a few minutes of cheer but well worth it.

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
 

few more before i had to perform the wheel swap back to the 69.old green may be in time out while i spend all my time on the other side of the garage, good thing it just need to be driven,wish I knew how to move this thread to the burb section

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
 

Wow!
Those seats & headliner look so f-ing sweet!
Your taste is spot-on!
I love it!

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
 

modges thanks very much i thought kinda hard on the color but it came out nice,the headline is abd carptet witch ill ge more pics and seats are bad ass

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
 

sorry for the typing the headliner seats and carpet are bad ass, ill get more carpet pics

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
 

Love the build! I want to know how well the A/C system works for the burb in the vegas summer, having a black roof and all.... Take detailed notes on which A/C system you go with as my next build will be with a factory A/C cab I picked up and don't know which after market system will be best.

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
 

I will get that info shooters i have not picked one yet and it is hot as hell out here in Las Vegas, im thinking of picking one, but im also thinking i may add a small unit some where in the rear kinda like what the limo companys do but i have to figure out a way to conseal it i was thinking maybe raise rear seat but as for now just thoughts,will have to find a metal guy who can incorporate something.my green c10 has a factory unit and it keeps up with the vegas heat really good.i also have factory unit from the burb i dout im gonna use it,only the center vent probably

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
 

Great Color combo and fabric choice! This is such an awesome build. Very inspiring for me as I am going to tackle a frame off on a 64 Panel ( starting this year ?) I hope to see this one in person someday.Maybe bring er down for a "Brothers" Show?

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
 

Radiator came from www.entropyrad.com/‎ and came with the wire harness to hook everything up. Built to order and this one is specific for an LS build. Check them out and the craftsmanship is outstanding!

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
 

Small world ain't it! We lived in Tulsa from 90-94 and my grandmother is in Henderson, we make it over there every couple years. With both kids at OSU, its "Go Pokes" more often than not even though we live about 5 miles from OU. :uhmk: :lol:

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
 

Thanks bud.. Just trying to get little done everyday.. The cold weather and work wasn't any help in motivating me.. But--I decided that I can't let it hold me back.. Just moving a little at a time.. Mind me asking--what'd that job on your interior cost approx.??

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
 

Wow man, :metal:

I haven't been here in while, the Burban is looking bad a$$ !!

Love the upholstery


P.S. ... I think you need to part with some of those VW parts ... ;)

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
 

Who did your seats they look great...how many yards of material was used in the inserts?

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
 

Love that silver and black paint. The interior looks sweet as well!

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
 

hi hemi, complete headliner made of sued, with bows ,complete two piece carpet from front to back,front and back seat with rebuilt springs and all new foam and hard backs due to dents on the rear metal parts of the seats,and he carpeted the area from the carpet to the top of the firewall inside so when you look under the dash its covered better than the pad they sell,he has done alot of my cars over the years 2000.00 and he made sued visors also
