Description
I'm not sure how I got into off roading but I don't plan to make a habit of it. This is a 64 Suburban I just finished for a guy who wanted everything you see here done to his with plans of making it the trailer hauler for his Jeep which is the same brown/gold metallic color. Z64 is a play on the newer Z trucks from Chevy. Differences from stock would include wheels, custom bumper/guard, Jeep door handles, colors, tinted windows and so on. I have to be honest and tell you that this has been the single biggest exercise in basically making stuff up that I've done so far. I had a picture of the actual vehicle that is many, many colors, very few of which are paint and it's basically a heap. Anyway, a couple sketches of the truck, many of bumper variations scanned into Illustrator ... and that's about all I had to work from.Related content

I actually have a 1964 GMC Carryall which was the rarer version very hard to find and I really like your sketch man mine is already lifted just need a new paint job and prolly some nicer things on the outside, then the interior and I really like your colors you chose because who has brown cars anymore right? And definitely like the z64 sticker I might have to get a set of those made up if you're not gonna make them a trademark or have a copyright... do you mind?

Actually most of the ideas came from the owner who I designed this for. I think you are welcome to use the Z64 idea. Thanks for the compliments! You might keep an eye out in future issues of Truckin magazine where you will see this drawing and some others as well. I can't imagine a few readers of that magazine won't "borrow" that idea.

Beastly.
You should take a swing at an old Toyota FJ40. Just a suggestion.

Stuff like this always brings back memories which is a cool part of doing it really.

Very cool! I like the hood. A friend of mine had one of these, but it was really terrible off road, it always got stuck. We were always pulling him out of a jam. Still it was a cool looking rig.

Thanks, I forgot to throw in that the cowl hood is an addition but yeah, it's probably way too big for anything too serious and this guy only plans to use it to pull the trailer for his jeep. I guess the back of this thing is big enough for a queen size matress ... that's what he says anyway. He has plans to make the inside living quarters for the trail and if the Jeep ever got stuck he could pull it out with this. It's certainly from a time when trucks had some personality.

You're welcome! The hood was the first thing I noticed, very cool addition. I think the biggest problem off road other than the size was my friends inexperience off road. Things that our Jeeps would scoot through, he had to take a more cautious approach because of the size. Yeah, you could easily get a big mattress in the back of one of those things! There's a panel version that's pretty cool too. What kind of Jeep does he have?

It's a newer CJ I think you'd say ... a Jeep Jeep - 2 seater.

Cool! You should do an illustration of the Jeep too.
