I started this one this afternoon and started looking at photos on the internet of these Suburbans. I noticed a few that were dropped and looked pretty good. So whilethe primer was drying I began looking at the chassis and devising a way to drop this bus...I mean truck or maybe SUV. So I mounted the axle high on the kingpin by cutting it off and pinning it about 1/8" higher. Then I cut the rear supporting posts for the rear suspension by the same 1/8". That would be about a 3"drop in scale. I want to put some big wheels on this truck so I will have to cut up the interior floor and find some wider and taller wheel wells to graft on. Thanks for looking! 😎
