Nice work on the Suburban. I thought the correct mounting for the tow hooks was the open end of the hook faced backward.

We had a 1968 3/4 ton Suburban when I worked for the Forest Service and its hooks were mounted with the open end facing backward. I suspect the tow strap or chain will not slip off mounted the way the factory does it.

Was the Rockwell 221 married to the 3 speed trans or divorced?

Are you going to stick with the closed knuckle front axle and drum brakes or plan to upgrade later?

Keep up the great work, the truck looks terrific!
