The inner structures of my rear cabin corners on my Suburban are rotted to the point I really need photos for reference in fabricating and rebuilding them. Attached are two photos of what I am dealing with, and the areas I am in need of photos of in-tact inner structures.

Thanks in advance.

Year?

If it is 47-55st, and if you want to buy those repair-panels, check out Jim Carter's listings. Is one of those the parts/areas you need?

Hey Tim, it is a 55 1st series. I do have those corners from Jim Carter but the "triangulation" as to how they tie in with the bracketry in terms of that rear body crossmember and what appears to be another bolted together bracket, isn't quite clear due to the amount of decay in my corners.

If I had the same vantage points as shown in my photos but of in-tact corners, I'd be all set.

I'll try to remember to take some photos for you.
Please send a PM (Private Message) with a reminder.

You might not be able to do that until you have had made over five posts.

Make a few more posts of different views/areas of your Suburban.

Does it have a stabilizer bar on the front axle?

I'll be down under mine tomorrow finishing some wiring. I'll post some photos then if you haven't already gotten them.

Here is a page on Tim's website that might help.

There are couple of photos of the rear sill and underneath.

Thanks, jorb

I was not sure about those photos being helpful. If they are, I will not take any more photos.

Thanks for that link jorb. Yes Tim that one photo is very helpful. Is that boxing in of the backside of the corner piece how it was in original form?

Don't know if you are still in need but here's a few pics of my recent work on the same area. We boxed the inner structure by duplicating the upper inner areas. not an easy job but it is coming out okay so far
