1979 GMC Suburban Makeover

[Captain Morgan]

Well progress on the rig has been slow, I was away hiking the AT for half a year, and between work and taking care of my new 86 burb, things have gone nowhere. Though here are some updates:

Added a floor shift.

Had a mishap with a cheese-grade alternator bolt breaking off in the head, which was convenient for changing my leaky front main seal.

Temporary exhaust for test-n-tune.

Also a family photo.

Gears have changed from crawler to more of a general overland vehicle. Roof rack build in progress. Parts gathering has begun to occupy time for the impending snow season.

Isn't that shifter a nuisance all the way down there?

It's actually not bad at all thanks to being a short person haha but I have planned on fabbing an extension for that. Really wanted to go manual but no complaints on having the TH400 for now.

Bump.

Unfortunately this build has been placed on the back burner as my daily driver(the white burb pictured with this one) has taken over. This burban is safely stored in Ohio for the mean time. Head over to my other build to follow the current burban k30 conversion! https://ck5.com/forums/threads/86-burb-the-strugglebus-pic-heft.326918/
