Re: My 71 gmc suburban
Looking good really like that color
Now you keep teasing with the pics of the Mustang. 65? I am one of the few that always liked the green color and details on that one as well? I know it’s a truck site but… |

It’s a 65. It was my grandpas car that I bought from him a few weeks before he passed while I was home on leave after boot camp. The color is a 65 only called Honey Gold.It’s a factory 289 2V drum brake, automatic but now it’s a 289 4V 4 speed disc brakes and radio/heater delete. |

Re: My 71 gmc suburban
Got my plating back today so I turned on the music,grabbed some beer and started sorting. I was confident when my wife asked me how I knew where it all goes when I was taking it apart. Now I’m staring at bolts wondering where they go.🤣 Some look important too. I threw in a bunch of bolts from my dads Suburban that got totaled so I will have lots of extra hardware.

Re: My 71 gmc suburban
I did a silver cad. I would love to do a phosphate and oil batch but that is way pricey.

Re: My 71 gmc suburban
I had a little time today to play with the truck. I got the rearend back underneath it. I’m used to Ford 8 and 9” rears. Damn this thing was heavier than what I’m used to.
