The truck was disassembled and all were patterns taken off the original frame to begin the new chassis design process. Once we had the original frame rails scanned and in the computer we then manipulated the kick ups and shape of the rails to get the desired ride height.
Cool shot of the frame rails being built.
Completed frame rails fixtured in a jig and chassis construction underway.
Very cool build, always loved the Suburbans. Being partial to the 60-66s, I can't say I'm a huge fan of the 68 grill, but it will be cool to see how it comes out - don't recall ever seeing it done before.
I'll toss a vote in for the green - something is just right about it on that body. Can't wait to see more progress.
