Vehicle Description
This custom 3-door 1968 Chevrolet Suburban is powered by a new
7.0-liter (427ci) GM LS7 V8 engine paired with a GM
Connect-and-Cruise 4L75E 4-speed automatic transmission with
overdrive, coupled to an NP-205 transfer case. The engine is
covered by a two-year, 50,000-mile warranty. Purchased out of
California in September 2020 and completed in 2021, this Chevy is
the product of a well over 1,400-hour complete frame-off build. The
body was stripped top to bottom. All metalwork was completed and
epoxy-primed. U-Pol Raptor protective coating was applied to the
floor and underside for chip and sound control. Dynamat
installation on the inside floor provides additional sound and heat
control. The body is finished with AXALTA urethane paint. The
frame, radiator support, inner fenders and axles are powder-coated
as well. The engine is cooled by a DeWitt aluminum radiator and the
stainless-steel fuel tank is from Rick's Hot Rods and includes a
new, original GM ZL1 fuel pump. The vehicle was upgraded with new
old stock (NOS) front and rear axles from GM, featuring disc brakes
on the front axle and GM posi-traction in the rear axle. It rides
on a 4-inch lift kit with all new leaf springs. The 295/70/17
Goodyear tires are mounted on Mickey Thompson wheels. The interior
includes all-new upholstery, carpet and weatherstripping. Comfort
is handled by a Vintage Air heating and cooling system. The
dashboard includes a Dakota Digital RTX instrument cluster and a
reproduction AM/FM stereo. Features an Ididit steering column, four
bucket seats and a rear bench seat, as well as all-new gray-shaded
glass and lighted electric retractable running boards to assist in
entry and exit. Less than 300 miles since completion in November
2021.
