68 Burb
Hot rod? rat rod? beater? custom truck?
I kinda like that this truck is hard to categorize almost as much as I hate being labeled!
I found my 68 Suburban in a field full of spiders and dirt just a year ago.
To date, I have put a 350/700r4 in it, serpentine belt drive, updated charging and I straightened out the disc brake conversion that a previous owner had started. I cut the front coils and installed 2.5 inch dropped spindles and installed 2 inch lowering blocks in back. It's temporarily painted satin pearl white and the inside flooring has been treated to three coats of textured elastomeric sealcoating (similar to linex or lizardskin), a blue camo job, and a pair of captains chairs. Electric door poppers complete the work done, to date.
John's ride to the cemetery, his beloved Billings OK bus, The Baby Elephant!! Traveling in style!! As his service was starting I couldn't figure out what the music was, heavy on a flute in a jaunty...
