I thought you had to convert to rhd to impart to nz.

Re: Show me your 67-72 4x4 Suburbans!
 

I'm subscribed to the travelogue!
That is a really nice Burban you have. The brown seats with the red is rockin. I've never seen one with a headliner colored to match the seats like yours is.
I like it! :metal:

Hi Michael.

I'm unsure if they are factory brackets or not, sorry! I have attached a couple of photos for you. The first two are of the passenger side looking from the rear. The seat does not slide forward, rather it tilts up. I'm unsure what for given the amount of room available to get in and out the back :-)

The second set are the drivers side which has about four inches of travel. It works really well!

Cheers,
Vaughan

Hi Beach-Burban.

Of course, I'm more than happy to include you guys! The first day of the trip is tomorrow. We'll leave home, drive 15 minutes to the inter island ferry which takes three hours to cross Cook Strait, followed by a three hour drive to our first stay in a place called Kaiteriteri. I'll get some photos up tomorrow evening.

Thanks,
Vaughan

Hi Mr Toni.

If the vehicle is older than 20 years it can be kept left hand drive. It definitely is a process to get through though as the government are keen on making sure there aren't a bunch of left-hookers driving around. Before it can get on the road it has to go through a certification process where an engineer assesses against the NZ car standards of the year it was manufactured. That's not so much a hassle given things were a bit more relaxed then, but if there have been any modifications, e.g. my engine, transmission, rear axle, rear brakes etc., it's assessed against the current standards.

I've heard of some horror stories where people have been left with a large bill to get a vehicle up to standard, and have heard of one case locally where a square body Suburban was failed and could never be driven - ouch. It is a PITA to go through, but in hindsight its a good thing knowing it's safe and certified, particularly when driving around with the family.

Thanks HO455! The road tripping thread starts tomorrow and we can't wait to get away and explore.

Re: Show me your 67-72 4x4 Suburbans!
 

Ok, thanks for the photos, passenger side has the tilt forward brackets like the blazers. I thought it may be a set of sliders like the drivers side, something I hadn’t seen before causing my curiosity. Thanks again for sharing.

Here’s my daily driver 1970 4x4 Suburban!

Re: Show me your 67-72 4x4 Suburbans!
 

Nice! I love the hubcaps! I was raised in Sandpoint. I have no memories of Suburbans in North Idaho. Which is kind of odd as my dad owned a gypo logging company and everyone drove 4x4s.
Welcome Aboard and we would love to see more of your Burban.

Re: Show me your 67-72 4x4 Suburbans!
 

Here is my current work in progress! Bought it to drive and enjoy, motor had other plans. Nothing a little money won't fix. New GM crate motor, TCI 700r4 and Offroad design NP205. Should be a fun daily and weekend offroader!

My ‘72. New to me but keep her local enough. Just took care of the T case leaks and she’s running strong.

Re: Show me your 67-72 4x4 Suburbans!
 

Nice! I wonder if the PO was a member here?

Re: Show me your 67-72 4x4 Suburbans!

He is! Real good dude. It was actually pretty cool buying it from my home town. Had my 3 kids plus two nephews for a cruise today.

Re: Show me your 67-72 4x4 Suburbans!
 

Let's see some more...

Re: Show me your 67-72 4x4 Suburbans!
 

Awesome! Is that factory springs? What size wheel and tire combo?

I also know this is dated a bit!

Re: Show me your 67-72 4x4 Suburbans!
 

:metal: Got her back on the road! Still working out some bugs with the Holley carb and the 700r4 but it sure is a pleasure to cruise this boat once again!

Not allowing me to post pics, will try again later!

Re: Show me your 67-72 4x4 Suburbans!

That's just plain awesome! And just so everyone knows I'm not a "Valley Girl" so I don't use that adjective often. :lol:

Re: Show me your 67-72 4x4 Suburbans!
