After looking at probably 15 Suburban’s last year that were $20k+ and trashed, I finally found this 1970 3 door that an 86 year old man owned and was slowly restoring, plus he wasn’t asking for a ridiculous amount of $ for it. It’s nowhere near perfect, but it’s a driver and has a ton of potential IMO, so after driving it around town and collecting parts for the last 10 months, yesterday I dropped the Suburban off at Team West’s shop in Fullerton for the 1st phase of the build. Plans are to be lowered 4/6”, 20” wheels, 14” 6 piston WilWood brakes at all 4 corners with a Currie 9”.
2nd phase will be that 4L85 Monster Trans, built LS3 from Morruzzi Race Engines, 2 PRP Race seats up front with 2 PRP benches for the other 2 rows. At some point it’ll go to paint and body, but that’s a low priority with 2 kids.![IMG_2907.jpeg IMG_2907.jpeg](https://forum.badlinesgoodtimes.com/data/attachments/22/22414-2c69d8ff6c45e60a28e814f8b3561631.jpg)
