Very lucky find for me and I jumped on it, wife was pissed but since she has seen it , she is amazed now too. now just to find a couple things, like antenna(I broke it at the car wash today....doh!!!!!) and a original style front seat cover white in color, rear AC hoses

thanks!!!

wow,
so many guys in the Pensacola area...
BowTieOgre and me had a pm conversation that the local guys on this board need to meet up at the bk on 9 mile...
Let me know...

Heck yeh! I was thinking of going tomorrow night, but I dont get off till 7:15, I work at the Airport. I use to take my 72 stepside there every now and then

lets do it!!!

Nice looking Burb to say the least! So what's the drive-trane, and what are your plans for it?

wowza that burb looks clean clean.....sweet truck mvpco!

Heck yeh! I was thinking of going tomorrow night, but I dont get off till 7:15, I work at the Airport. I use to take my 72 stepside there every now and then

lets do it!!!
If I can get the flip kit finished on my truck tomorrow, and get it somehow to the alignment shop, I'll go...
If not then I can go next week. No way I'm going without my truck!

Sweet score!!!! gotta love them 3 doors!! So what are your plans?

Oh and nice step side you had there

plans are to keep it like it is, just tweak it here and there. I found the front seat upholstery I think from Classic Industries. Does the suburban front seat upholstery cover the whole back of the seat or is it like the truck and have the springs exposed?????? I will take pics if needed. click on link and you might see the back of the seat: http://www.mvpc.com/72burb.htm


it has a 350/AT/PS/PB/AC front and rear also cruise but dont know if orig. I will take a pic and post.

thanks!!!

Here are some pics of the cruise, dont know if its a dealer option or aftermarket, also pic of front seat, I think it might be from a truck or were they the same???????

i saw the wiper fluid bottle and i thaught you might like this

wow thanks!!!

The Burb seats are fully covered front/back. The vendors sell Burb upholstery.

That has a cutom cloth seat. I don't think the average vendor sells those. I have some hoses, but they are 30 yrs. old.

Very nice score! I like that color combo too. Is that origional paint? Looks great, have fun with it.

original paint, wow! I am looking for a recommendations on who to get the Suburban seat covers from????

I'm extremely jealous. There's one thing I love more than 67-72 trucks and that's 67-72 burbs.

Thanks Rob!!!!!

I can't quite tell from the pics, but if you have the custom deluxe cloth upholstery (the cloth pattern looks like rows of little flowers) the only supplier I have found is CARS, Inc. (www.carsinc.com). I don't believe their website lists the cloth, but if you call or e-mail them they should be able to help. About 3 years ago they made an original style front seat cover for my '72 for around $325, and I was extremely pleased with it.

What grebus1 said!!! The upholstery on your back seat is the custom cloth upholstery. If you want to keep that, then you will have to have CARS make them for you if the cloth is still available... If you just want to have parchment seat covers in your 'burb, you can always replace both front & rear covers with new std. covers... The burb seat covers will have the ribbed pattern from top to bottom and should fit right over the p/u seat you have in there...

Do your doorpanels have the woodgrain inserts on them?

As far as your rear A/C goes, the original lines were attached to "barbed" fittings with hoseclamps. The 72 Burbs(ONLY) were "Teeed" off a stock pickup A/C hose. The pickup hose if needed is available thru the many board vendors we have and the rear hose is available thru NAPA, as are the clamps, ect... I don't remember the exact legnth needed for the rear, but you could buy a cheap garden hose & use that to measure how much you need by routing the hose where it needs to go & marking it. It crosses from the pass side under the middle of the truck, goes thru the rear inner rocker on the drivers side(where the 4th door would have been) and up through the "blank" door, then along the inside of the drivers 1/4 panel and up the rear corner of the body.

>>>>>>MAKE SURE THE DRAIN HOSES ARE NOT CLOGGED OR KINKED<<<<<<<

Although I haven't seen him on here in a while, board member "Smokekiki" replaced all the A/C lines in his burb a while back... He could give you some additional pointers if needed... ;)

Sweet burb... :)

Thanks so much!!! great info!!!!!!!

Question: does parchment seat covers mean all vinyl or any cloth in them. or should I use the houndstooth, they look nice, but would it be correct for Suburban 1972???????

I am using the parchment seat covers. They have the pleated ribs with the cheyenne scroll insersts going into my burb(no cloth). Houndstooth would look nice and feel good but not correct for burb. I have always assumed that the cloth insert (houndstooth) version would not hold up as well either.

Exactly... The cloth inserts look nice but for durability & price, the all vinyl ones are the way to go if your staying stock or close to it... Parchment is the "color" they called your uphosltery... Just a fancy way to say white... ;)

Great! Thanks guys!!!
I will order them

Hey does this Suburban look familiar? Sold it back in 1998 I reget it. I pulled the front seat out of a big block truck that was in a junk yard in Northern California. It had swivel bucket seats up front and paisley curtains in the rear cargo area. I bought your Suburban from the original owner in Cary, North Carolina in 1994. He purchased it new in New Mexico and used it to drive back and forth to Vriginia to visit family. He moved to NC before I bought it. It's funny because I sold it to a guy in Virginia. If you want to know more about it PM me.

Wow! That's too cool! I just bought my 72 last week and it has the original receipt with owner's name and address.... but this beats that!

Small world?!

Wil

:D Very cool.

WOW Bigblock!!! Yes that sounds like it!!! I will PM you

wow,
so many guys in the Pensacola area...
BowTieOgre and me had a pm conversation that the local guys on this board need to meet up at the bk on 9 mile...

see you guys there

PCMCOBRA/MVPCO: Nice meeting both of you Sat night, maybe next time we'll try to meet up their earlier. Jeff, all I can say about your Burb is ..... Wow!!! That's one sweet original Burb. (whenever you're ready to let it go, just let me know. :D). John :), your white truck brings back some cool memories of high schoo (minus the 20's of course). Can't wait to do it again. Hopefully some more of PCola's finest will join us.

I agree Rob, nice time, we need to get more from P'cola board members there.
Your 48 is SWEEEEEEET! I can only dream of something like that WOW!

send me the link if you can on the gas shocks for the back window


see ya next time

Jeff

You guys make me sick!!!!:whine:
You get to cruise in February, while I'm stuck in -17 C, and it's too darn cold to even work on my beast. I'll be lucky to get to work on mine before mid April.

I'm just jealous that my 'burb is all locked up in the cold garage, while you get to drive your trucks;:c2: ...for you

I agree Rob, nice time, we need to get more from P'cola board members there.
