Suburban kitbash

[Randy Meyer]

Grafted the AMT '60 Chevy windshield and hood to the new Revell '66 Suburban, making it a '60-'61. This conversion practically builds itself!

My stepfather had one of these trucks. The thing was indestructible and cleaned up real nice.

Thanks for showing an old dog a new trick!

That should be nice when finished. Are you going to build it stock or is it going to be a custom?

Mild custom; lowered with whitewalls and chrome smoothies.

Well well, Randfink has entered the building with one of his great creations!!!!!!!!! Welcome welcome!!!!!

Love your work and always have!!!!!

[Randy Meyer]

Thanks, Dr. K!

I like your conversion and thank you for the idea. For myself I just never cared for the hood design. I think GM was trying to tie it to the '59 Impala of the time.

Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

[Ron Hamilton]

Impressive work!!!! I picked up my Suburban today, and I like it!!!

[Edward Gore]

This is going to be good.

Aaaaah! Lookin' good! I was just talking about this very conversion the other day on another board and how it could be done.

By Jove you've gone on and done it!

love this idea!! Ive been waiting to get my hands on a 60 chevy kit, I missed the opportunity and regret it. I prefer the wrap around windshield and like the older hoods! If you need some reference pics, I have a 1:1 62 GMC truck .

Cool Randy....looks very nice.

[DumpyDan]

I like it, I am going to have to get another  Suburban and steal this idea and call it mine own.    Love it.

[Sasquatch86]

Very cool start. I've got the same thing in the works

What are you guys doing for the chassis and interior?   I'm planning a couple of kitbashes involving the Revell Suburban and AMT '60 pickup kits, and am curious as to how you're approaching yours.

The AMT chassis should be correct (for a a '60-'63 2x4), but the Revell floor doesn't really want to fit, particularly at the toeboard area.  Door interior panels and dashes are very different as well from the two kits as well.  So it seems the body backdating could be the easiest part of the conversion.  :-)
