88 Crew Cab Project Plain Jane

It was one of my favorite things about this raggedy old bagged Suburban I bought in Louisiana years ago...

Update ......working on modifing the new quad lamp core support for the intercooler(cummins swap) Wanted to run it on the out side of the support, not enuff room it interferes with the turn sgnal housing. So now im gonna start the cutting to get it on the inside.

looking good man.

Ok guys .....finally got some time to do some work on her for a couple hours to night been busy with work.
the break down, ai am waiting on my core suport to get back from the blaster to finish the suburban front end install. So while waiting on that i decided to section the bumper and move it tighter to the body.





stock bumper gap (maybe its alittle wide bumpers not bolted to the frame)

new gap

Also removed the inner fender wells in preparation of pocketing the lower control arms


heres a shot of the brackets all bolted up to the bumper and clamped to the frame

Sweet Build!!! the bumper looks great, I am excited to see the way you mounted your intercooler as well

bumper does look good.

Thanks guys the bumper was a spur of the moment thing lol........

Sandblaster ruined my core suport, must have used metal shot on it cuz it looks like it was in a firing range , a million little dents.So on the hunt ,prob just bite the bullet and get a new one. Thing is LMC trucks wants 120 for the thing .......not bad but they want 125 to ship it, to hell with that. ill make some calls monday try to find one local, anyone got any leads on where i can get a new one close to Dayton Ohio let me know. once its got a face again its off to my buddies shop (Bonified Customs, Fairborn. Ohio) does friggin awsome work, to get the lower control arms done and prob some bridge work in the rear.

So any leads on a new core suport would be greatly apreciated.

yo what up man? i was just down in cincy yesterday. i meant to hit you up, my buddy and i ran down there to get few parts. anyway, what core support you needing? just one for an 88 square? or you need a specific one.

Should have I was at the shop wasnt workin on mine tho lol my buddy who owns the place is reding a 72 elcamino.
i need the 89-91 suburban/blazer quad head light core suport

like this one minus the innercooler lmao
