Sounds like a good plan. Ive seen a lot of shortened burbs on the web. I have to say the proportions on frizzles are by far the best. Nothing looks stubby, it all looks right on.

well in my head it’s a split the difference kinda thing, love his body proportions, but the glass looks a little short. Unless you want to completely redesign the D-pillar the only way for a longer glass is a longer body. If anyone enjoys playing with photoshops feel free to throw your ideas at me. Knowing me though if I don’t like it I’ll cut it again. As soon as I get this back together the burb is coming in the garage.

Got curious and did some research tonight, it seems I’m gonna be run up a numbers matching truck with correct accessory brackets. Engine built December 10 of 1971, trucks assembled January of 72. Kinda happy it’s as rusted as it is now so I don’t feel too bad.

Well thanks to the weather this week very little as progress goes. I did get the 70 wrapped up and back on the road. The burb got a little cleaning and then made a dump run. If the rain lets up hopefully I can drop the HEI in and drive it into the garage and get to cuttin

Well some progress has been made, it runs and quite smooth actually, transmission with 3 quarts of fluid moves under its own power. Now then it looks like the path has changed, just seems more practical for how my life is. Perhaps it’s time for a new thread

Saab 9-7x Aero. Basically the Saab version of the Trailblazer SS with LS2. Still haven't seen one in real life!

What's the new plan? Suburbalanche?

Winner winner, although mine was a 5.3 being an 06, it now sports an iron block 6.0 and rwd conversion with a batwing oil pan, also the correct 4l70e. I kept my 3.73 gears and prefer it over my brothers old SS with the 4.10s.
The burb is going truck, need to start a new thread. When I bought it I knew I may run into bigger rust issues. Well one way to fix that is to cut it out.
