Description
This custom 1963 Suburban is powered by a performance-built 6.6-liter Duramax LLY turbo-diesel V-8 engine producing 427hp and 754 lb-ft of torque, paired with an ATS Diesel Performance Extreme Allison 1000 5-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. Engine upgrades include a Danville Performance 68mm Stage 2 billet turbocharger, an upgraded injection pump and high-flow intake components. The exhaust system features a MagnaFlow 5-inch exhaust. Built on a heavily modified 2005 GMC Sierra 2500HD chassis, the frame was shortened, reinforced, sandblasted and refinished to accommodate the Suburban body. The suspension features a Fabtech 6-inch lift, custom upper control arms and shortened CV axles. The exterior is finished in turquoise with a contrasting white roof and features upgraded GMC trim, custom bodywork with repositioned rear wheel openings, smoothed body seams and extensive paint preparation. It rides on 20x12-inch Fuel Hostage wheels wrapped in 35-inch Toyo M/T tires. The interior features upgraded seating, wood-finished flooring, contemporary instrumentation, power accessories and integrated controls. Built by fabricator Michael Wymer, this Suburban underwent extensive custom fabrication to integrate the 1963 body with the modified chassis.
