I am in the very early stages of planning a project with the goal of replicating a GMC Woody Suburban.
I am starting from scratch and I am trying to assemble materials, photos, details of assembly and joinery, measurements and more to proceed.
I do not have a Chevy or GMC suburban at my disposal to measure or study. Of course, it would be easier to work with a suburban and/or woody body...but I do not have that luxury.
What I have is a 51 GMC 1/2t short bed truck. It is in teardown stage. I also operate a cabinet shop and have the ability and accessibility to machinery and materials to create the pieces and appropriate joinery.
Some have said it can't be done. Others think that this project will peter out. Other are very skeptical. But, what people don't know is that when I put my mind to a project...I will do whatever it takes, plan, educate and learn for myself...how to do it. And...I do it. Call it subbornness and will.
If anyone can help me and can send me details, pictures, and offer their support or guidance...I would be very grateful. I also have ideas on how to collaborate with a small group or individuals if they have the desire to accomplish the same thing.
I can be reached at my cell phone: 603-723-5460. Also my e-mail is:
[email protected]. My phone number is: 603-466-5776.
E-mail is best for starters. I can then call you.
Please reply, I am hoping to make some connections with Woody Chevy and GMC Suburban owners and...I think that this project may reap some benefits in a variety of ways...for all that can provide their assistance.
Thank you for your time.
