Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
If you have any fuel delivery issues when you start it up, there is a small rubber hose about 1/2 way up the frame rail connecting the two hardlines FYI. I replaced all my hose and found it later.......

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
You were smart to act fast on that one, as I'm sure it was on the radar for a few others. If it were closer to me, I'd have raced you to it.
I looked for the rust you mentioned but can't see it in the pics ...must be minor? Is the original color dark blue? It all looks very worthwhile, congrats! |

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
chevyrestoguy,
The bumpers are very similar but not exactly the same...the rear has some indentations inboard of the frame mounts that aren't on the front, but nothing else jumped out at me??

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
oem,
The pass side lower door jamb is the worst with all the lower window channels a close second...one even growing moss A bit of mild surface rust across the top but no other issues so far. I believe the darker blue is original...you can see an area that was cleaned on the firewall with what I think is the original hue. The burb has been repainted a time or two, by the owner from what we understand, and has a bit of bondo across the top of the driver side front wheel opening. Nothing major, but you can feel the hammer work on the inside.

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Actually, the bumpers are the same except for hole locations. Those useless indents on the burb rear bumper are where front bumper bolts would go. Hard to find Suburban rear bumpers can be made from easy to find front bumpers. But sshhhh, don't tell anyone ... (I have one for sale). lol

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Gotcha, it's just between you and I Not that I doubted you, but I did go and throw a tape measure and an eye on it...when you're right, you're right!!
On a side note, also got some extras with the burb. Buried in the repair manual were some polaroids/invoice of some tranny work in 76. Kinda cool.
