Suburban rear rockers
Over the last few weeks I've been working on taking apart the donor panels. The first one I took all the way apart, did a lot more drilling and cutting than necessary but oh well. Took apart the second one yesterday and managed to remove the inner and outer rear rockers as an assembly but will...- Khayward

Inners are gone too in the back. One of the front inners is also pretty shot.- Khayward

Early OBS dash swap
A busy work week means I didn't make progress here, but did snap pictures while messing with some bodywork, so here's what I managed to strip. I'm pretty sure the glovebox is in the dirt beside the donor, that's where the center vent cover was. I grabbed the 2 piece radio and the digital hvac... -
Suburban rear rockers
Ok, another update, picked up the sections from the wreckers yesterday. There is some crustiness in a couple of spots, including a hole near the back on one side, but the majority, including the insides, are clean and solid. I had hoped to be able to only partially disassemble the donors and put...- Khayward

Early OBS dash swap
Thought I had posted this previously. Beginning the work of swapping my 90 'Burb dash for an early OBS dash. I think the donor for the mockup was a 91 pickup. Pretty well optioned at any rate, had digital hvac controls and the factory tape deck/EQ in the center of the dash. What I want to... -
Suburban rear rockers
An update: found a solid shell at my local wreckers, they're going to cut the whole inner/outer/backers off both sides for me. Depending on how they look inside I may attempt replacing the whole mess as an assembly, if that's possible. Anyone familiar enough to know if it is? Would have been OK...- Khayward

What have you done to your square lately??
Finally got some traction this weekend. I had asked about OE style Suburban rockers in another thread after buying inners and outers from LMC and discovering the outers stop before the bends at each end. Went to the local wreckers yesterday and they had a pretty solid truck, had screw holes from... -

Found this at Copart Spokane
I'm guessing it's a Copart thing. Seen more than a few in Spokane and CDA. If I could have added this one to the fleet for peanuts it would have been nice, especially seeing as it has rockers. Really only on there looking for a donor Yukon or Suburban to steal the powertrain for my '90.- Khayward

Found this at Copart Spokane
I'm in Idaho, the auction is in Washington, apparently the general public can buy RV's, watercraft and vehicles without a clean title - so a bill of sale or salvage title would be OK. Only dealers and brokers can buy clean title cars in WA. At least that's what Copart says after I paid the...- Khayward

Found this at Copart Spokane
This one is for sale at Copart Spokane. Unfortunately the Socialist Republic of Washington requires a license to buy clean title cars; maybe one of you guys has the ability to buy it? I can't. https://www.copart.com/lot/63769663/clean-title-1988-gmc-suburban-v15-conventional-wa-spokane- Khayward

Suburban rear rockers
That's pretty lame. Has anyone worked around it with other panels that sorta fit? Maybe I need a parts truck, like the 3/4 ton big block truck at my in-laws house in Inglewood....- Khayward

Finally have this girl home, now what?
On the steering: I had to replace the whole drag link, both ends plus the sleeve, wasn't a terrible job. I was also on 16 year old tires, replaced those yesterday and it felt like I'd had the front end rebuilt. Have a small amount of play in the steering box, but amazed at the difference new...- Khayward

What have you done to your square lately??
Didn't do much for a while, Mrs has been having health problems, they discovered no platelets in her blood. I've started back in, new 31s from Les Schwab yesterday and a clean bill of health for brakes, steering and suspension, which is mind blowing as the tires they replaced were installed in...
