Pretty sweet. Are you gonna build up the engine or just do the body?

It really looks great and I gotta love the name. I'd been a wreck too after scratching the paint. And you do need the sunshade with eyes-that would be a cool touch.

About

July 26, 2009 got the back windows in after some extreme effort. the installation tool slipped and scratched the paint above the center window. We are taping it up again for a repaint of the white top. put cardboard in the side windows and windshield and got a little goofy with the magic marker. I'm considering changing the name to Fried Green Mater. What do you think?

July 13, 2009. The truck is starting to go back together now. got the front fenders and radiator in over the weekend and now I can drive it.

My truck has a ghost in the paint.

I bought this truck in 1996 and moved it three times, it has sat wanting a restore all those years. I thought about it a lot and planned what I wanted to do. Saturday March 07, 2009, almost nine years after buying it it began. Here is 2 1/2 days progress.

Specs

1974 Suburban frame and drive train. 350, 4-speed, 3/4 ton four-wheel-drive

Factory Options

heater and turn signals and maybe a radio that is long gone

Mods

see for your self. complete off-frame body and paint in the works. The color will be "argreen" If you like it I can give you the paint code.
07/26/09 - power windows, cruise control, one-ton bed
