lizard skin is a sound deadening insulation material, prolly accounts for half the price grin

There are threads on other sites about homemade lizard skin. Here's one: http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/alternative-lizard-skin-103610.html

I haven't tried it but it sounds interesting.

Here's bigger photos of the truck: http://www.classiccarmarketing.net/1951ChevySuburbanBrn.htm

It's a cool truck but I could have a lot of them for that price.

I will sell my freshly restored (mostly all original style) for half that being asked for the suburban. Any takers? Better act quick before it is gone!

No value to a collector in that. And way overpriced.


Kicking self for selling off my Taskforce trucks.
Still looking for an LCF or conventional big bolt in decent shape.


As of 10-26-2022, A 55.2 Taskforce long bed now the work begins
