the build went great still have a hair or two left still married . my wife and i busted butt we both worked dooring the day so it was just nights and the week end . we started on the truck last week end of august frame was blasted off we went

the frame is a 1987 3/4 ton put dana 60 in the front 14 bolt corprett in the rear
had to move the rear up 4" make body mounts after that was done painted the frame put the 454 motor together set that in and started on the body the body was in great shape painted the under side and fire wall and set it on the frame. there's a lot but i don't think you want to read a book so i will cut this short.

so on and so on its getting close to the end of the month 0n sept 30th i was putting the finishing touches on her and on that tue's night at 1:00 it was done know heres the kicker 4:30 weds morning i firerd it up and drove it to mississippi:crazy:
to cruise the coast 1250 miles 21hrs 2500 rpms for 16 hours not one problem it
well one the wife slammed the door and the glass fell out of the mirror did not brake stuck it back in finish our vacation so all together 3123 miles about 789.00 in fuel as they say priceless .:metal: ANY QUESTIONS JUST ASK:b69:

That looks absolutely amazing, very nice Suburban! I really like the stance, what size of tires and lift did you use? Also what brand are your wheels and tires?

Wow, I'm guessing you didn't have to replace the sheetmetal from the doorhandles down like 98% of the burbs you would find around here. Great job!

the body is right on the frame in the center of the truck well the body bushing thickness being a 87 truck frame it would be about a 4" body lift the frame inthe rear is about 10" shorter then a factory burbso made like a ass off a super late model looks cool but clean wanted to keep the truck clean.
