Bruce, I/We have all the faith in the world in you. That Carryall had your name on it.

We're all pulling for you and at the same time wishing it was ours....or at least I am. Wow what a vehicle.

Bruce,

Glad you are back on it. Email me progress pictures, and I will host them for you. I think all of us would like to see the details of how the body and mechanicals go back together!

Kurt

Kurt..This guy I have is wonderful..he's a wood maker and a great body and paint guy. He's on it full time now...we expect to have it painted end of this month! Rear doors have been a toughie..but have another wood guy doing those as the wood in the clamshells are a bear to do right. Got rear upper door glass and gaskets..they are to be had with Steele rubber...pricey. 90.00 for the pr. Will take photos when it's got it first color on it. Even found a 36 Radio for the Burb! Being restored by Ray Holland in VCCA. Thats it for now..still havin' fun...MtVoices

HI ALVIN..thanks for your help and kind words..soon next week sometime will have some updates on this old carry all. Gary..bodyman, is working on those tricky rear clamshell doors. Hard to get that top one to sit just right..and I'm coating the wood bed boards with a healthy brush of Tung oil..(protects from warping) than lots of sanding and varnish.
seats are being done..and I pick up the 206.8 engine very soon. So the climb to Mt Everest is happening...it'll be march before we can finish it..running outta dough..ha! Bruce

KURT..just thought I'd mention we haven't painted the Suburban yet..those tricky rear clanshell doors held us up. We wanted to do finished colors after they were in..now they are..look great.
So it gets the finished colors end of this month. Will send you pics to post if you;d be so kind. Motor is rebuilt, all is ready to be wired..harness not here yet. Been a great project so far. Thanks for your Help..Bruce D.

Aw man. Can't wait to see this!!

I also can't wait. I really love the body style.

Bruce,

If you have any progress pictures of the woodwork and other repair/renovation steps I will post them for you too. I think everybody would love to see the "inside story"

Kurt

Kurt..I will go to the garage where the 36 Carry All is being finished. Hven't taken many pics..but will take aome of the interior and the wood pieces we had made. It looks good. Paint next Week, all black parts are painted now..great...running boardfs were pretty sad..but we kept them and worked them back.
Clamshell doors in place finally..very tricky to install. I have many old wooden pics from Gordon Marks who has a 36 Suburban also, he saent me lots of picks of these rare door wood.
Pics soon...Bruce

We painted it..but I was off a shade or two on the Cabana Cream..so it;s being painted again..and the window and rear window trim will be a brown..amnd Chevy called it "Airdale Brown" Will have new pictures after the rear door glass and all glass is in..about Jan 15. Thanks a lot for the interest.it'll be exactly like the GM model in Flint...Mtvoices.

Hi Kurt..just took these today, we're already for the engine to be installed soon, bed is ready too. Next the wiring..and that scares me, never have wired a truck..any tips you want to pass along? Got my Harness from Rhode Island Wiring..they sent complete pages of instructions...but maybe you know of a few tricks..thanks for posting ..here's y email: [email protected] Bruce Duykers
