I give him an A plus for actually doing it and making it drive, but too bad it doesnt sit down on the frame better.

I like the car before the swap.

I wonder if Chevrolet had to buy the rights to Suburban?

I had to look up where in MS Charleston was. That's probably the first time in years they've seen snow up that way.

Well Dodge and Plymouth both had subrban station wagons back to maybe the late 1940s. Seems odd since car companies are so possessive over names.

That is really stupid awesome. I love vehicles that were never meant to be lifted on big tires up in the air with some BFG Mud Terrains on them. We have a VW Thing around here like that with a nice lift and MTs. Just so much awesome.

I don't care for the majority of Chryslers from the 50s but that body style is a beaut.
