# 2879 From Renee : This Chevy Suburban belongs to my husband, Cary Smith. A friend of ours found it on Orcas Island, Washington. We bought this old truck to replace the horrible 2002 FORD F250 we had that was constantly broke, and for some reason human beings could not fix! We live in the mountains (4,000' elevation) and really need 4 wheel drive to be able to get around five months out of the year. So, we looked at all the 4x4 options, and Toyota Landcruiser axles were about the right width. We purchased a donor vehicle, removed the stock running gear, and installed the Toyota axles, new springs, 5 speed transmission, transfer case, and a 1986 Chevy 292 crate motor with an advanced adaptors bell housing and Toyota power steering, We are trying to keep the Suburban looking as stock as possible while taking advantage of some "modern" technology."
Renee also has a 1953 6400 Chevy 2-Ton ("2-Ton Tess") in the Stovebolt Gallery. It's a good story -- you need to check it one out! ~ Editor
