I'm going to have to do that. Once all the mechanicals are done.

I think some good shine could be brought back from this original paint

Re: What did you do to your Suburban Today?

Been busy bringing the old girl back to life. been off the road since 1990. Today I rekeyed the rear lift gate key cylinder for $10 at our local locksmith.
In the last 2 weeks I have installed headers, glass packs, welded custom bent pipes to the outside of the frame to flowmasters that exit before rear tire, ran power to my power heated memory seats, adjusted secondaries on the carb, replaced dash bulbs, rebuilt the leaking right front wheel cylinder, got the air horn working, installed rear wheel spacers. Still lots to do.

Re: What did you do to your Suburban Today?

I originally put a 3.5/4 inch drop on the Burb but I don't like how low it sat in the rear so today I changed the rear coils to 2 inch lowering springs and I like how it looks now.
The pic on the top is 3.5/4 inch drop and the pic on the bottom is what the Burb looks like now with a 3.5/2 inch drop.

That is one of my absolute favorite color schemes. Especially with the low-line white. GMC, to boot. Wow.

Thanks man! I always wanted a 50th and when I saw this burb on the side of the hi way I bought it 30 minutes later lol (yes I know its a GMC so not a 50th) same color though...

I really want a 50th truck and my wife does not understand why I would want two trucks that are the same color
