All above true—looks like he used the 1 ton front and rear ends Wheelie machine? How big of a notch do i need?? Contact lockone on here for your adapters. I think i just need the upper control arms ,drop springs and spindles with hubs. It runs the quarter-mile in 11 seconds, weighs 7,300 pounds, and she daily drives it every day to take the kids to school. Dunno, but my brain is going 90mph trying to decide. I wish that there were some underside shots, it would be nice to see what it looks like under there with all of that cutting and fabrication work. You build a custom 1988 Chevrolet Suburban shorty dually pickup, of course.
I think its going to be easiest to just run the all dually setup all the way around. Looks like one o those toy cars that when you turn it on it just goes in circles. Still dont know if i should run an aluminum inside rear or steel? Swanson's team created a negative 25-degree situation for the engine by using a resistor on the engine temperature sensor to allow the glowplug system, and gauge cluster, to work together with the Suburban's factory pushbutton start setup. The short bed is custom built and they say that the gas tank is a 15-gallon beer keg. Room for three full-sized adults in front, the rest have to ride in the back. I am asking here if what i was planning will work? Today, Durabub builds approximately 50 trucks a year out of their four-bay, six-lift shop. .
It was sectioned twice, once to get rid of the rear doors and then once behind the rear wheels to create this 100% guaranteed crowd-gatherer. Ok , i have a 1988 chevy swb stepside with a 502. With all 4 22s or 24s on the back it adds 27. I have a few days to decide still. You wont need much of a notch, I don't think. It took over a year to develop this setup, and it looks nearly stock, like a sleeper.
To run semis yes the srw 8 lug axle will need adapters. When you say narrower rear axle. Would any of you have a use for a custom shorty like this former Suburban? I need to check the cab and chassis rearend see if it will bolt in but people keep saying it narrower and even the spring perches are in a few inches. Do not get aluminum ones, well unless you don't mind if they break. Adding the dual rear wheels was the pièce de résistance on this thing. Until recently, building vehicles for the Secret Service, Border Patrol, and Department of Defense meant Swanson and his team couldn't talk much about their creations.
Will any of this work?? Thanks So i either use a regular dually rear or sw 8 lug rear and run adapters for dually wheels on sw axle. Bonus: the siren and light bar is functional, according to the seller. You may want the narrower axle. It looks plush in there for such a tough truck exterior, like the center of a Tootsie-Pop. Since the Surbuban didn't originally have glowplugs—it was powered by a gas engine that doesn't need them—a glowplug icon is now active in the gauge cluster. Swanson's team had to accommodate for a glowplug failure, so there's an hidden switch under the dashboard that overrides the entire glowplug circuit. I would think it wouldn't be too expensive to have someone move your spring perches for you.
Also the donor trucks are all 1993 to 1998. Wont the regular 8 lug sw still need an adapter?? The craftsmanship is great but how could any human being spend as much time as it took to build something that looks like a heavy duty clown car?? I dont know how much you will have to narrow it but you may want to do it enough for the 22 or 24s the first time so you are not having to redo all of the suspension and mounting brackets. Do you mean the cab and chassis rearend or the regular sw 8 lug rear?? An engine photo, this seller is the best! Figured i would just fab up control arms later to bring the wheel in a few inches. Duraburb 2017 Chevrolet Surburan 3500 Heavy Duty The glowplugs and pushbutton, in particular, were a challenge for Swanson. The craziest build Swanson's team has created was for a customer's wife. I don't think either axle will bolt in. He checked out both a Heavy Duty Chevrolet Silverado and Suburban from the Disney motor pool, measured the engine bays, and realized he could make dream a reality.
I always hear that everything is bigger in Texas, but maybe not everything is. It's a 2005 Suburban 3500 Heavy Duty with a diesel powertrain pushing 1,050 horsepower and nearly 1,900 pound-feet of torque. Abandon all hope he who enters. If you need any help or measurements just let me know and I can try to help out. This is a 350 cubic-inch V8 with throttle-body injection. You are going to have to fab a complete backhalf anyways so you can have your mounting point as you wish and could possibly even have them adjustable for various wheel applications.
The owner reports fuel economy averaging just over 21 mpg. A private buyer's order for a 2017 Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Heavy Duty with a built-in Duramax diesel powertrain offered a glimpse and rare walkaround of one of Duraburb's finished creations. Probably could just go with a bolt in. It starts the engine, even if one glowplug fails. I think your right on on the front.
Think this would barrel roll in a heartbeat. It does have a cool look to it and it appears to have been nicely done body-wise but a potential buyer should check underneath to see if the fabrication was well done. Dont i need a regular dually rear end or what?? But cab and chassis rearends are narrower arent they??? Ok i was gonna put on a fleet side bed with the dually fenders. I see a limited appeal for it and you better take it for a test ride before even considering buying it. It takes a lot of effort to get all the systems to work together when you combine a powertrain and vehicle that weren't original developed together.
Even the remote start system works. The rear end on this shorty-Suburban came from a one-ton tow truck, no wonder it looks so heavy-duty. . . . .
