That two seat panel truck idea would be pretty cool.

Using the newer Tahoe floor would allow you to pull the third row seats and flip down the second row and turn it into a two seater with room for a bed in the back if you wanted. A little short but not too bad. If I remember right it is right at 6' clear in the back of my Tahoe. I will have to measure it now.

Keeping it the full Suburban length would make it more functional but I like the looks of the shorter vehicle better.

Those look sweet..

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
 

Very nice, that's going to look awesome. Is it me, or will you need to lift the front a little to get it to sit level?

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
 

Good looking tires. They should do well in the snow.

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
 

Bigger is better. They look real nice

I am New to the site, I looked at a lot of builds. And this is a great build good job.

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
 

Piss poor photography at it's finest,,,,It actually sits pretty level, I just don't take very good pictures,,,,sorry:waah:,,,;)

I cant belive how well this project is laying out! ride height and rubber look good!

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
 

Okay Iv'e been waiting patiently for my crazy fix Wade, Where are you?

On a side note I think it is a little off level too and to fix this I suggest lifting the front 2" then the rear lift 4" and then another 6" in the front. That should do it ;).

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
 

Dude that's funny!,,,reminds me of my barber "little off here,, a little more off here,,,maybe a little more off here" next thing I know my hair's all gone.:lol:

I'm still around and I have been working on Tangerine,,,,the problem is I lost my garsh darn camera! (how embarrassing). Mostly been finishing up the cab connections to the floor/firewall and rockers ect. I probably will take some time off from working on her for a couple of weeks to do spring cleaning (maybe I'll find my camera!). I'll keep ya posted,,, thanks again for all the interest. :chevy::gmc2:

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
 

I hate when I misplace stuff. Good luck with the spring cleaning. I have been doing that for the past month and still can't find some parts I know I bought.

Don't worry the older you get the worse it gets. I was hunting for my box I set up for wiring lugs and stuff I hunted for an hour and gave up and went back to work on my trailer and it was on the deck of the trailer, I don't remember putting it there.:confused::crazy:

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
 

this build is awesome! great thinking with the Tahoe drive train. i will definitely be following even if just for the sake that my name is also wade :p

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
 

Thanks 68TT,,I hope spring is really here,,, for both of us!


That would be a lot funnier if it wasn't so true for me too! I think I'd loose my head if wasn't bolted on! :uhmk:

Hey Wade, nice to have you on board! :bann:

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
 

Pics or it didn't happen. Sorry, had to do it before you get trampled with them. :lol:

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
 

Did you get snow the other day? We were at 60 degrees & sunny one day and two inches of snow the next. I wish mother nature would make up her mind.

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
 

I know, I know. Hopefully I'll find the camera soon. Hate to have to spend money on a new one (would rather put the money into the truck). :lol:

We got a little up in the heights. Our elevation starts out at 750 ft. above sea level and goes up to 1500 ft. in the heights. I know your around 3000 ft. so you'll get the worst of the weather. hopefully it won't stay cold clear into June like it did last year. :chevy:

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
 

I hope spring is here too. I didn't get much done last year due to the lousy weather early on.

At 34 I never loose anything my wife just hides everything from me. :lol: well I cant blame the kid yet she is too young, Now if I could just find one of my good ratchets... How come I always loose the good ones and can only find the chinese ones. Can't wait for some more pics, This is one of my (if not the) favorite builds! :smoke:
