    I’m watching this video and I’m like this is the suboverland guy. Why is he saying he’s a civil engineer haha. Same hair Same voice same face. This is the guy! Then you said he was your brother and I burst out laughing lol. Great conversion man 👌👌👌👌.

    I was just wondering if I was going to be able to do a conversion on a 3 row seat with the doors. You have made me feel much better. I’m short so I was thinking about running the bed across the back seat in case I loose room with the doors. I’m going to try the sideways bed. And see if I can’t get more room.

    Hey, I see that you live in Idaho where it gets very cold. How do you plan on staying warm this winter? Just bought a 96 suburban and am considering making the move into it however I'm in Pennsylvania.

    "square body"? Wrong. That is a GMT-400. "Square body" was prior back to '73. Yep I know about the trash 'spoon' levers. I like the 1st Gen (TBI) GMT-400s better. Not a bad rig tho. Good job.

    Why does the thumbnail pic for the video show 3 rear drawer spaces under the bed but you only see two in the video?

  • @josephwatkins7945
    @josephwatkins7945 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yo! Can you give advice on how to remove/remodel the rear AC ducting? In my 98 it seems way too big and not efficient. I'm trying to build out my burban. Any advice you have would be great. Would love to chat with you via email tbh
