This all started where most of my projects seem to start... A good deal on craigslist
I found a 90 square body suburban that was listed for a couple months that seemed fairly clean and worth looking at, at the same time I had found a not so clean (dented and abused) lifted suburban mud truck with dana 60/14b axles and 39.5 tires
which peaked my interest. I found myself traveling to both ends of Vermont to look at each and bring back home with me
