Custom 1969 Chevrolet Suburban - Change of Plans

Chevrolet Suburban
There's always an interesting story behind a project vehicle, the '69 Suburban you're looking at is no exception. When Mike Bowen was looking for a tow vehicle that could handle his '67 Chevy II show car, he decided on a Suburban because it could haul plenty of friends and all the gear you might need at a weekend show. Besides, what would be better than a truck from the same vintage? Plans changed, however, as after one faithful season as a tow vehicle, Mike made the decision to sell the Chevy II and focus his effort on the Suburban.

The foundation of the whole build is the factory frame that was C-notched and powdercoated before being upgraded with Early Classic Industries' dropped spindles and front disc brake conversion. Air Ride Technologies was sourced for the Firestone 'bags that keep ride height in check at all corners with help from the KYB shocks that keep the wheels planted. All that cutting and dropping let the 'Burban tuck Billet Specialties 20x7-inch wheels with 245/40R20 BFGoodrich Comp T/As up front, and 20x8-1/2-inch wheels with 275/45R20 tires in the rear.
