89 Suburban DD Build (finally a 3/4ton)

[Big Ray]

man, I'm getting antsy...

I'm off all Christmas week, I'm snatching off the front clip on my burb, swapping out the motor & tranny...and drilling & mounting the front spring mounts. (it's currently 2wd)...gonna order some of these so they'll be here in time...

it will be running under it's own by new year's..well, running better...It does run now...kinda...sorta...technically

sorry for the hijack...I've been accumulating parts since 07, and I'm tired of waiting!!

These build threads have pushed me over the edge....

BTW, your truck is looking fine

This sucks...9 years later and my shit is still down.. Actually started thinking about throwing in the towel and selling them before they rot completely...

I Definitely know the feeling. I actually started a month ago making a craiglist ad to sell it before I got it running. Craigslist wanted 5 bucks to list a vehicle so I didn't submit

Been taking it out for more short trips. Hoping to run out the bad gas and have it run smoother.

I enjoy the hell out of mine. The big ugly things suit me to a T. Maybe after this surgery heals I'll be able to wrench again.

My shit sat 19 years, I am finally getting time to deal with it now.
Don't sell

Ouch that sucks. Even where I am at 3 years and part of that time sitting inside. I've found so much more to fix that wasn't bad before.
