1966 Suburban at the Roadster Shop

[PDXFactory]

Nice! I love these old trucks...and I'm always excited when I see a "truck" going down the PT route. One of my relatives had a Suburban of a similar vintage when I was a kid that was fully restored and I've been thinking about building one ever since. Looking forward to watching this build!

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.

Looking forward to this one.

I like the 68 grill in the rendering.

Killer! You guys have some of the coolest builds going on.
Keep us posted.

Yellow gets my vote.

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.

Awesome concept and beautiful work as always. I really cant wait to see the modified next-gen front end on there. We did a rendering for a customer with the same idea a few years back, but it never came to be. Even had the "floating" grill bar. Cant wait to see you guys bring it to life!!!
