Well my plans for the Suburban have now morphed into a Buggy of sorts. Figured why tear up a good Suburban my tan one just to build what I have in the back yard the red one so here is the plan

Stock frame
56's in front greasable and urethane
63's in back greasable and urethane
350
700R4
203
205
Dana 60 HP
14 bolt FF
Stock tank ?

going to be a four seater plus 2

So should I use a stock tank with the stock fuel pump for a TBi or go aftermarket fuel pump with a fuel cell
or go carb with the fuel cell

Full set of Autometer gauges

Should I keep the stock steering wheel or go rod with removable?
Should I keep the stock mastercylinder set up or go Wilwood ?
(I'm thinking stock brake set up and removable wheel)

I have all the parts listed above, both if there is a question.

So I need tires, shocks and my cv'd shafts lengthened, two more seats and a tube bender and lots of tube and time

The pic is a rough drawing of the tube work to do

Should be a pretty sweet rig.

On the steering, I would say that the removable is going to be much easier to deal with around the cage. Stock brakes should be plenty, especially if you lighten the burb a bit.

And, if you ever need any help, pm me and let me know.
 
Well I haven't really decided on tire size or type thinking about a 40 and type who knows. I need to stay in the 16.5 or 17 inch rim size or do rims with no backspacing. Thinking 4:56 for gears
