Re: '62 GMC Suburban "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
 

Had a chance to clean out and shelf all the parts transported in the Burb....and throw the seats in.

I did find out something though (I think there is a thread on this somewhere)

These seats are out of a 66 Chevy Burban...

The second and third rows DO NOT directly bolt in.

Without relocated floor anchors, The middle seat will require two holes drilled in the tubing of the seat frame (no biggie)

The rear seat however ... will require some fab work ... or in my case just swap the cushions onto my existing rear seat frame.

(PICS SOON)

I am not sure if this is a GMC thing, or if its a 60-62 vs 63-66, or a combo of both ??

Hmmmm....;)

Re: '62 GMC Suburban "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
 

the progress is looking good!!!!

Re: '62 GMC Suburban "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
 

Any progress?

Re: '62 GMC Suburban "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
 

Not much on the Burban ....

However, I decided to attack my DOOM buggy project as it is the closest to being completed.

I figured finish that first, and get one project done at a time, instead of attempting to complete all at once .... never happen with my work load.

VW chassis almost ready to go to powder (so nice to have a HookUp on powder coating...right next door to my shop)

Look for updates soon.....

This is a really cool build! What size and brand are the tires? I really like the whitewall.

Re: '62 GMC Suburban "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
 

The wheels are 15x8 stock steelies ....

Tires are BFG's (with raised letters shaved to whitewall)

Rear are 235/60 and fronts are 215/65 ....
