    Thank you for your testimony. God is good! Started watching you when you worked on the van/truck conversation.

    Hopefully the 454 just has a stuck/dirty oil bypass valve or something that doesn’t require major surgery. If it has something left to weld new rockers and floors to then you are already ahead in this sick game. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas

      That’s what I’m hoping. Everything in it is new and it didn’t knock; just had a drastic drop in oil pressure. I pulled it right after that; haven’t opened it up yet. I don’t think the sheet metal will too bad. I did a 65 Dodge van a few years ago and it was way worse than this. Put a lot of metal in that one. Thanks for watching; Merry Christmas!

    Great rehab video.. Curious to see what the BB looks like internally. I think keeping the overdrive auto might be a better bet, if, it is shifting properly.

    The auxiliary wiring under the hood and the rheostats for the heater was probably having issues and they tried to hardwire it

    I think that gas tank came from the same fuel injected Suburban the seats came out of. Previous owner must have had a donor burb for parts.

    My momma and dad when i was growing up have had two square body gm suburbans, and a 78 Chevy Silverado c20 crew cab long bed,a 75 Chevy C10 gold top and bottom and center frost gloss white two tone Silverado air conditioning and power steering am fm 8 track stereo,454 BBC th400, and 12 bolt rear 4.56 gears,a black with gunmetal grey 86 GMC Sierra classic c2500 454 tbi th400 transmission 14 bolt 3.42 gears,fully loaded with barn doors minus sunroof and luggage rack options,am fm auto reverse stereo cassette tape player like your suburban has it a 80's model piece,pw,pdl,tilt steering cruise front and rear ac,6 speaker stereo. The 75 was not a rear ac truck and did have the tailgate, and the 78 Chevy Silverado c20 crew cab long bed was pretty much loaded except for one or pdl,it was also a cruise truck and factory ac, and also had a tach dash

      @ actually my next project after the wagon is for someone else; I’m doing quarters and other metal work on a 70 ElCamino for a buddy. Neat car; he’s the original owner and ordered it with a 302 Z28 when he got home from Vietnam. I’m thinking of starting to do more work for other people and make a little $$ for myself. The Suburban is going to be my personal truck in honor of my dad; it’ll be a keeper. I do like the look of those low riders; very cool build style.
