Vehicle Description
Nicknamed "Gone Fishin'," this custom 1976 GMC Suburban Estate was
built by Big Fish Garage out of Grand Island, NE. It is powered by
a fresh 454ci big-block engine with a new Holley EFI fuel-injection
system, mated to a fresh TH400 automatic transmission with an NP203
transfer case. It is equipped with Hooker ceramic-coated headers, a
custom full exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers, a cam from
COMP Cams and Holley's large fuel tank with a built-in fuel pump.
"Gone Fishin'" sits on 20x11 white custom Detroit Steel D-town
wheels wrapped in 35x12.50R20 Nitto Trail Grappler tires. To make
all that work right, a Superlift 6-inch suspension spring-style
lift kit was added with all the correct steering components. This
Suburban retains 90% of its original factory paint, and the outside
wood paneling was rewrapped for a fresh appearance. The roof rack
that holds the old-school long metal canoe. Every piece of the
factory wood-grain paneling on the dash and door panels remains in
place. The headliner material is a vintage multi-color stripe
pattern. Included in the back are racks to hold the paddles and
fishing poles, along with some other vintage items like old-school
life jackets, some hiking gear and, of course, a cooler. This
Suburban was featured in several magazines, including a cover
feature in the August 2022 issue of CK Magazine.
