Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family

Jeremy, what engine and fan hub are in it currently? 1st gen non IC, IC, or 2nd gen?

Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family

I have both... I tried the 1st Gen IC one first (I think) I'll pull them both out and check them out. I'm looking at this 454 fan I have too, but it's not really scratching the itch

Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family

Any update? This is making me want to get my butt moving on my door mods.

Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family

SWEET.. We have a 1971, We have 4 Grand kids and this is the perfect vehicle for them they love it, they call it SWEET PEA, We had it on 3 vacations so far, Just got back from Clearwater Fl with it, 1000 miles one way. So I hope you enjoy it like we do ours... :)

Well, quick update. Been busy since moving back to CO. Added another kiddo to the mix, Harrell James. Born 12-7-17. That brings the count up to 5. My wife brought me a picture and said "this is what I want the suburban to look like" so she has been planning a trip to go get it. The power train is all ready to go for it, I estimate another 300 to 350 hours of work to finish it. Some projects I have finished since moving;

My dad's jeep: I rebuilt the 4.0L, swapped in an AW4, did a MML, 1"body lift, tank tuck, and a few other doodads. This is the project I brought out from CA

Built a "spare" truck for work: 93 K3500 6.5L.

And then the biggest project: 1986 F350 460 to Cummins swap. Once I install the cruise control, this sucker is done. It was a long, big project that ended up with me rebuilding absolutely everything on the truck or replacing it. There is a build thread in the diesel swap section, "well it's not a Chevy".

Honestly, most of my disappearance is due to photo bucket and picasa screwing up the internet.

This summer I am bringing the 95 crew/cummins out to finish it for my brother and then spring I'll be getting the burb.

Sorry about the picture orientation. I have tried everything to edit them before hand to get them to post right, but they still return to the original format.

Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family

Jeremy, the burb will look sweet! Congrats on kiddo #5! We are up to 4 and I know all to well what its like to try to find time to do extra projects. Good luck with it all and nice work on it all!
