Hi Guy’s and Girl’s, I’ve been following this forum with some interest. Since I am new, I thought I would observe for a while.
This was my attempt at upgrading my 1967 Suburban; I started with a solid, completely rust-free (even the rockers) truck. Before I started the project, I collected all of my major pieces over a three and a half year period. This was a U.S. Corp. of Engineer Utility truck with a 292 Six TH400 with 16in wheels. My plan was to build a Suburban that was dependable, quiet, comfortable (Enough to withstand the high Temps for long stretch’s of driving in July and August in and around the Moab UT area), convenient, handle well and fun to drive. My first purchase was a really good front seat, the rest of the truck’s design both inside and out was based around the front seat. My starting point was to prepare the body by stripping everything out of the inside. Rustproof the floor, doors and body panels. Next install soundproofing and insulation materials on the floor, doors, all body panels and roof. The window glass, rearview mirrors, grill and bumpers are the same one’s that came on the truck.

It looks like put a lot of sweat and $$$ into your Suburban. It turned out great looking, and if it drives as well as it looks. Wow, I know you must feel like a new daddy showing off your first born.

Nice ride, and welcome from the north!!

Very nice and welcome from Virginia

Hi Guy’s and Girl’s, I’ve been following this forum with some interest. Since I am new, I thought I would observe for a while...
Welcome :cool:

Beautiful truck!! Nice work :burnout:

Very nice! I'd like to see some pics of the rear seat if you have them--particularly the mounting areas. I've seen others with the later style fold down seat, but there doesn't seem to be a consensus of how to mount the brackets behind the seat back. Thanks!

Man that's nice. Wanna swap? I have a nice riding mower...and you wouldn't even owe me any extra!!!

Outstanding!!!

Welcome from ohio.

Great job on the burb! Welcome from Sugar Land, Texas.

Greg,

Thanks.

Excellent job! love the 67. Welcome from Michigan.

Looking good.

Thats a nice color. The Burb looks great.

Wow what a nice burb. What are the seats from? Welcome for Calif
Jeff

Looks good man

Awesome Burb!

Gorgeous look! Great combination of mods. :cool:



I, too, would like to see the rear seat's mounting bracketry and whether you used the original, threaded mounting holes. What year/model truck are those seats from?

The rear seats are out of a 1973 burb,use the complete system including the stop/latchs. To mount it to the floor you have to drill holes for the brackets. the easiest way to do this is to put in both set of seats the way they fit into the space,tilt the bottoms forward, remove the pivot pens then insert a long rod thru both sets of brackets, align the seats and drill.(check and recheck before you drill) you will need 2 wooden shims aprox 1" thick for both outside seat brakets because the floor pan is different on 67-72 than on a 73, Last reinstall the pens and bolt it down, attach the back the way it came out of the 73. Remove the bottom latch on the long seat, makes it easier to pull forward.......I hope this answers your question. JW

Great Job on the Burb. I love it.

i really dig the "barn doors" :c2:

yep looks great, welcome from Utah.
