At a show. Traded the orange 65 and the blue 50 trucks for it. Having dogs that I take everywhere, suburbans make a great pooch rig.

Those wheels look awesome on your truck!

tuckeez, I agree wqith you completely. I don't care much for the 41-46 front ends either. I can't wait to get the GMC front end on my truck. I have tried a few different paints to try to match the natural rust but not having much luck. I may just have to paint it a flat black and roll on. Or I could do with what I did to the chevy grill. It was Blue before I put it on the truck. I wire wheeled it and let it rust naturally.

Just realized I never posted a picture of mine. '46 with MII, 350 TBI/700R4.
It's been my daily driver for 10+ years now. Building the back-up truck now.

I Know exactly what you are trying to do--I thought of doing that too, I saw a color the other day, a hagerty new article,, 78 aston martin painted Madagascar cinnamon color, that with some darker brown mixed in -or sorta custom fogged over in patches.... Dig what im sayin?

The 37 is the most popular of the 30's chevys- i like the 38 best, but im doing a custom 37 nose configured as a 34-6 size " mutant" to work with those 34-36 hoods ... for one of my fenderless rod pickups.

I wish! No room. A parallel crashes into the inner wheel house skirting on the upper bar and a triangulated 4 crashes into the fuel tank. Sure, I could cut up the Suburban ( waaaay different than a truck from the B pillar back) inner panels or relocate the fuel tank then fill the body hole and refinish the side, but I wanted to have the least amount of collateral damage with the most drop mechanically possible. The tires are housed in outer fenders and can only go so low unless the fenders are moved up on the body and lower fenders are fabricated to match up with the boards. Chizzler did some of this on his truck build. So far sitting in my garage are A tri 4 link system, a parallel 4 link system, 2 different watts links and a 68 c-10 crossmember with trailing arms and adjustable pan hard. It's tough to visualize all of these when laying in bed on the computer and the burb 35 miles away at work

I ended up using some rock crawl world parts, some home brew stuff, firestone bags and a V2 Airlift system. The pan hard bar is 42" long and has a pair of 2-5/8" Johnny joints that are bushed, rebuildable and crazy flex. The 2 link bars are 44" long and have Dodge 1 ton bushings up front with the rears welded to spring plates. I am using a 2inch block ontop of these. I will get some pics once the paint dries.

Ghan....do you have any more pics? Thats a nice truck!

[ghan]

Thanks Newfisher. My daughter wanted a 'retro rural' wedding theme - so I did up this truck and a 1948 john deere D for her wedding pics - got me out of a lot of boring decorating

[ghan]

Another one

Here's the truck and the tractor

[MjrBummer]

She's not exactly a truck, but she's mine. Its a 1967 Chevy C50 school bus converted into an RV, aka, a schoolie. Or a Skewlie as I like to call it. Its been in the family for about 40 years. I used to sleep in the cupboard when I was little. I just recently got it from my Dad, now its time to bring her into the 21st century.
