86 suburban conversion "humpy"

[bighroder]

Ok I asked a couple questions on this site, last time wasn't so great but I figured I would post some pics anyways I started with an 86 suburban that was k25 before the axles were pulled (I'm going 14 ff, and d60 anyways)


And heres where I'm at with it after this last weekend




I definately need to get a visor for it it just looks goofy without it

Honestly it was a pain in the a$$ the suburban cab is wider up by the pinch seem line so lots of pie cuts, took the rear section of the suburban roof and scabbed it in, ill get a couple more uploaded I only have my cell phone right now sorry for the crappy photos

Section taken from suburban roof


Said section placed on the roof

you made a 1986 chevy Avalanche. like the idea. good way to get dirtbikes and kids to the woods. ok continue....

[bighroder]

thanks It's gunna be a tow rig, 12 valve ve pumps getting put in soon

looks good. someone took a k5 Blazer and grafted it to the back of a Burb... I remeber they had to bob the back of the "bed"...

[bighroder]

Ive seen that done a couple times I thought about bobbing the bed of this one but I don't want to lose all my hauling space as I'll be running a single stack in the bed and a small drag up tank on the other side

I like how you did the roof, Ive see a few guys goof that part up. Whats your plan for the tailgate?, and bed sides? Rather than use a truck rear section I was thinking or moving the tailgate and rear roof section forward, basically just cutting the section of roof where the big side windows are, so I could still roll the rear/back window up and down like an avalanche..

YES! haha

[bighroder]

I'm cutting the bed rails off my parts truck to graft onto this one, tailgate the same. Honestly I want to find a solid window cause I don't want more drone in the cab then I have to..I'm only gunna have a 6 inch stack but I still dont want my teeth chattering

[56pu]

Sweet, keep us posted with lots-o-pics, Ive been running tape/cut lines all over the dang thing I just cant commit yet...lol

[bighroder]

My friends kept telling me to do the motor swap first, but I wanted to be committed to my project my way, if I got it running I would have most likely ran it as a burb do I went out and cut a random whole in the roof, and opened up premiers pandoras box lol

[bighroder]

Pic of the victum I'm gunna be robbing parts from.. Was a 6.2, with 4 speed manual trans so all the brake system, manual windows and body panels will be taken, the truck has 600k something miles (I work with the guy I bought it from, he said it rolled 6 times while he had it and hes not one for bs

[tylersloan]

Nice are you taking the top of the bed sides from the p/u box and grafting to the burb ? I hope so it will look really good

[bighroder]

Progress, only 6 cutting disc later....expensive hobby now a days

[dirtygoat]

Nice, I'm diggin it...

Looking good so far...

[bighroder]

Thanks

I like it, more pics of the bed/back glass mod.

Nice project. Unless you have one hell of a muffler under that thing your teeth are gonna chatter with that 12v and a stack. I had dual stacks in my 94 chevy and on my dodge. Even with resonators they would rattle your brain.

I'm gunna sound proof and insulate the hell out of this rig

I'll add more pics

[bighroder]

As you can see you have to pie cut to make the pinch seam to line up

heres a few pics of my conversion. i just cut the d pillar and moved it forward. i also used the rear hatch from a dodge ramcharger for my removable rear window.

It don't bother me none man, I'll check it out thanks for posting

[bighroder]

I wish the bed rails were just a little but higher but this is stock bed height so I don't have to mess with the tailgate


Scab panels on top of the roof

Can we change our screen name after creating it? I'd like to change mine to the name of my small fab shop if I can DirtFloorFab
