Sorry for my absence…I’ve been focusing on helping my daughter acquire her first home in Tennessee and in doing so, I’ve donated my “Suburban Fund” in full! I will only be working on non-cost (or low-cost) items for a while until my account builds itself back up some! I’ve identified a probable source for my “tuning issues” regarding the EFI conversion…fuel tank venting, which will require more than just changing the filler cap so I’m going to put that on the back burner a little bit longer.
I do have a sore spot I’d like to address and luckily, I purchased most everything I’ll need to put it back together a while ago. The view from the rear looks like the window is shattered, caused by the ancient “spray-on” window tint that has baked over the decades. It won’t come off with conventional processes, so I’ve removed the window to see what else I can try? Not shown in these pictures is that I have also removed the rear hatch from the hinges to address the rust around the window flange. I’ll post a follow-up as things progress. Woody This picture doesn’t come close to showing how bad it really looks! Attachment 2344910 The rubber retaining bead was so brittle that it came out in little pieces! Attachment 2344911 After cutting off the outer lip, the window was easily removed and the rubber seal was unexpectedly very flexible! Attachment 2344912 The view looks better already! Attachment 2344913 The lip will require some extra attention, but I’ve seen others with far worse rot! Attachment 2344914 |

A first home is a big deal for anyone. Glad to hear she is able to get that done, it's not easy now days. Good for you for helping her out. There will be plenty of time for the truck. I would say you got pretty lucky on the rear hatch rust.... Just keep plugging away at it. |
Re: The more I learn...the more puzzled I become!
If you have any issues getting that window cleaned up I have a window that is in great shape that is free to a good home. I went barn doors and sold the hatch and still have the glass. I’m not too far from you in Camarillo.

I met Bryce (member BAD1916) today to retrieve the rear hatch glass that formerly resided in his 1971 GMC Suburban (factory Big Block vehicle). Very cool guy…I really appreciate the gift!
Woody I requested a little tour around his Burb and was excited to see the Big Block under the hood! Attachment 2345361 This is a really clean piece of glass and the green Soft-Ray tint matches mine perfectly! Attachment 2345362 |

It was great meeting you and your wife this morning. Glad to see that window go to a cool Suburban and that it will make your life a little easier on clean up.

As for the “Suburban Shirt”…I attended the C/10 Nationals in Fort Worth, TX last year, and this was the only 3 door Suburban related item I saw at the entire show (out of the thousands of vehicles, not even one 3 door in attendance!). My wife spotted this vendor who had a huge display showing silhouettes of just about every popular vehicle you can think of…and had not only the 71/72 versions of burbs, but the 67/68 and 69/70 versions as well! Unfortunately, I dropped the ball and did not get the vendors contact information…so if anyone knows the guy I’m talking about, please post his company’s name for us!!! I hope your project is moving along better than mine, Nick! Woody Attachment 2346483 |
