Sure is interesting. I've been on my truck 5 years now. 3 on the drivetrain - 2 on the truck.

I used shipping Frames from Honda 4 Wheeler's and sheet metal.

I like it. What’s the plan for sheeting on the inside? I see the ceiling is peeled. Sheet it all together ? Insulate and have an interesting adventuring burban?

I have barn doors for the back, and yes insulate it but I need to move the wheel well back 3.5 inches to match the truck frame. A suburban wheel base is 4 inches shorter and the body is 6 inches longer I didn't take this in to configuration when building it. the frame sticking out in the one picture is 12 inches I cut of another pick up frame. I started this when I was 50 I'm going to 60 in a few weeks. I'm getting Too old for this stuff. LOL

^ sure is.

*I wonder what it smells like in there.. tell me there are barn doors!
Well It's not a Barn, It has a tail gate with a working window. I do have 'barn doors' for it. should I shorten the body to match the Truck frame or lengthen frame to match the suburban body, Hmm???

Respectfully sir , someone else will have a qualified answer.

@kleedus

-he knows all about it. Certainly others do too. I haven't seen him in a while but you could check his on-site media, his projects came to mind.

Dude. He built a barn door BLAZER.

it's the ****.

Regardless, I must warn you that others may argue the **** is bananas.

Hahaha come on down into the basement for a popsicle.

I’d remove the leaf springs and do a 4 link with coilovers allowing you to put the axle wherever you want!
