suburban replacement

10/16/2014

 
Currently we have a 1969 Chevrolet Suburban.  We have used it hard the past 5 years or more and it is due for some tender loving care.  I don't know about you but I am not a fan of doing things over again and I have done this truck once. So I am on the quest for a Suburban replacement.  Tonight I came across a truck I had heard about several years ago.  1955 Chevy Suburban  I have contemplated building one of these trucks for over a decade and owned a 57 for a while before I found the 69.  I am torn between low and real low.  I think you could slide a 96 and up Yukon or Blazer platform under this body and have a 4 wheel drive for all seasons.  The style of body would allow for 4 wheel and still have a relatively low ride height.
Real low would call for a bagged subframe and bagged 4 link out back.  I marked off the possible chop when we had the 57 it is debatable  if the look is worth the work .  Anyway we will have to see how rough the body is.
