well i picked this up and cecided to do a 100% ground up on it,

it looked like this when i bought it a few months ago, 52 gmc on a 88 burban frame and drivetrain. first major part of build was to get the 8' tall gmc thru a 6 1/2 foot door.

after about a month of on and off work here is where im at now. rounding up all the parts needed to get the rolling frame done , never knew how much a stainless 9/16" x 5 1/2 inch bolt cost till now :eek1:.... this is right after picking up the frame from the sand blasters/ painters... look good.
