1947 Chevrolet Suburban Street Rod Project

1947 Chevrolet Suburban Description

This suburban project has a good street rod start. I have done no work on this vehicle so I can only tell you what I see. The front suspension has been sub-framed with an early Camaro or Nova subframe. The steering gear box is behind the front cross member, making for no interference with the radiator or support. It has a new Performance Rod and Custom radiator, and 350 motor, and 700R4 transmission. The rear end is 10 bolt GM out of a Camaro I believe. The rear end is sitting low in the picture because the tires have a slow leak and have gone flat.I know nothing about the engine in terms of mileage. I was told by the person I bought it from that the transmission was taking from a truck that was driven to his house to be removed and put in the suburban. The rear suspension has leaf springs that are probably Camaro as well. The truck runs and it was driven on the trailer. It has a new wiring harness, a GM tilt column, GM brake booster and master cylinder. Over the years the body has been patched in the lower quarters, rear wheel wells, and rear tailpan. I also see patches on the inner wheel wells.At some point the rear fenders where molded to the body with filler. The only thing I have done to the vehicle is dig out the filler from the driver rear fender and sand behind the drivers door. I wanted to see the condition the metal underneath. I have not removed the fender. From what I see so far I don't think there is any reason both sides couldn't be dug out. Or if you like the molded in fender look just refill the section I removed. The underside front of the hood has some rust. The rear doors and barn door style. Th driver side rear door has some rust spots in it.The truck comes with all the garnish moldings, all the old glass for patterns, '39 Chevy car LED tail lights, later model GM bucket seats in the front, and a matching bench in the middle. The firewall has has a smooth piece of sheet metal welded over it. The front floor pans were also replaced with heavy sheet metal. The rear floor boards, which were wood from the factory have simple chipboard material laying on a framework of square tubing that was created at some point. The frame was box ed but the welds need to be cleaned up.

In general, the truck has some rough edges but has tons of potential. The body has had some rust over the years, but it's still solid enough that a person could really make something nice with it. The repairs that have been done so far are homemade but a guy could easily shore up a few things and run as is. These old suburbans are doing nothing but getting more popular and going up in value. I'm pricing this one where a person could get into right. I have a clear Missouri title in my name.

This part is mostly in reference to scammers. I will only accept cash or cashier's check,nothing elseso don't try. I will not arrange shipping and the vehicle will not leave my property untilI have received payment in full from the methods mentioned above, no exceptions. I will not reveal my reserve., I will not do any other weird scenario or method other than stated.
