I have been thinking of building a Chevrolet Suburban for my dad until his birth day. but i cant find any thing like that one. I have been thinking of re building a pickup truck to a suburban. But I thought that I might ask here before.

By the way if there is a plastic kit of the newer one to i would bu glad to know about it. I have just seen metalbody kits.. and i do not like those.

I'd suggest doing what you said about building the truck into a suburban, my dad has a '82 F-100 and I'm cutting the front end off a monster truck his body style and putting it on a 92-96(I think thats the years). So I'd try some thing along those lines. It would be tough to do if no one makes a truck with that front end. Sharp truck btw.
