Greetings, friend! I'm in awe of this handsome old cowboy! Your grandfather was a real craftsman! It's great that the car has returned to the family after so many years, after all, these trucks are a legend, especially as unique as yours. It was funny in the middle of the video when it came to the round windows that leaked. I caught myself thinking that a couple of round windows from the washing machine were asking for it. Hermetically sealed and opens! 🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆 As they say in Russia - cheap and angry. I own a 96 Suburban in Russia, I love these cars and am slowly improving my own. I have subscribed, I will watch your assembly. Sorry for my poor English, I use Google translator. Sincerely bro!
привет друг! Спасибо за комментарий! Я не знал, что у вас, ребята, в России есть пригороды, это круто! Я вырос с пригородом 96 года, и моя семья точно владела потрясающим автомобилем!
@@BigJakesGarage Good afternoon Yes, in Russia there are a few suburbs of various generations, but still, for some reason, this car is rather an exception for our country. New generations (due to high customs duties) can be afforded by very wealthy people. Old generations are mostly feared because of the large engine size, fuel consumption, transport tax and the cost of spare parts. For example, right now on the boards on the Internet there are hardly a couple of dozen cars in a 400m body and a dozen of their predecessors. In general, we have a very small community of lovers of these wonderful cars here, and one way or another, some owners know each other and communicate on the forums. Of course, they have not yet managed to become part of family stories, since they are in your country (the home of the brand), but those that are definitely not left without attention. Big, reliable, brutal - despite the years. In general, I think that our countries are very similar in their scale, nature, and the people in the outback are just as simple and sincere. And accordingly, these machines are equally well suited for both countries. I recently watched the series "Longmire" about a sheriff from Wyoming, nature is very similar to the nature of our east - mountains, forests, valleys ... everything is there to be proud of your country, a happy person. Well, in general, we now also have GM, for which thanks to your engineers! ✊✊✊ Sorry for a lot of letters, I had free time, got carried away.
@@BigJakesGarage Speaking of GM engineers... For me, it was inexplicable and surprising how in the body of a 400m Suburban (which is a full-size SUV) they managed to arrange the rows of seats so close. So, with a height above 1.7 meters, and my 1.9 (I don’t know how many feet it is, sorry) in the back seat, passengers need to look for a place for their knees, on the third row in this regard, I also sincerely don’t understand how the Americans managed to make children there .. 🤣🤣🤣 In general, my first alteration in the Suburban is the installation of all the seats from the Audi Q7 and their freer arrangement, since the place allows it. In general, now I have a beautiful leather interior with a single seat card pattern as from the factory, electric adjustments, and heating everywhere. I go enjoy. I really like the car precisely because it allows you to easily refine yourself. 👍👍👍😊😊😊
Congratulations on getting to buy your grandfather's truck back. Great bones and potential to be a solid truck and cowboy cadillac. Could the back seat double as a bed?
I got to look at one of those one day they are like mine but since they used the stock frame they had to use a 6ft bed mine is a full 8ft plus since it’s suburban I got the fold down seats which is nice!
I’m curious as to how he set up the 8 lug bud wheels up front is that a 3/4 ton front axle or half ton with some sort of extension to fit the wheels or what because I see no locking hub flush with the wheel mounting surface like would be on your Common Dana 60 k30 front axle Very cool build either way I hope you keep videos posted on it I’ll be a follower
It’s a Dana 44 that has one ton outer’s on it is was a 4x4 but the front axle was gutted at one point in time so that’s why you don’t see and locking hubs on it. I did however buy a rebuilt Dana 60 for the front that I will put in when I do the engine swap.
Love the truck, and love the story which goes with the truck. Bet the extra space in behind the back seat can come in handy ...
Things sick has crazy potential plus the sentiment value 👌🏾
