Hey all.
I posted a long winded intro on the intro page, but....maybe I should of saved it for here.

Names Tim, from NE Ohio...near Youngstown

I've had several 47-54 Chevy trucks, but with growing kids and a wife, just no room for us in a truck anymore.
So I'm putting a 53 Suburban together now.

It's a former Colorado Forestry vehicle, so it has the nice, beatdown dark green paint. That will stay!

But it has a MII with drop spindles, and the c/m was raised up into the frame, so it sits real low without bags. Maybe bags in the future if too low...

350/350 combo

And the rear is a No Limit Engineering fat-bar 4-link with bags, so it'll set lower

I have 63 T-bird buckets for it and a re-done middle seat with a fold down cup holder thingy for the kids! haha
All will be done in brite red T&R. So it'll look wild against the old dark green paint.

Wide whitewalls and chrome steelies

I should be driving it by mid May.

Well, Hello and Cya

Tim
