My 72 Suburban project
This is my first post. I am just trying it out. If it goes through...this is my latest 72 project. It was found in a junk yard. No engine, trans, or front springs....obviosly 402!!! I had been looking for one that was stripped so I could do a throttle body/700R-4 swap. I wanted front and rear air and 3/4 ton for hauling. I paid $500 for the truck and bught a 100k mile 1990 model suburban on Ebay for $430 and swapped the engine, trans, complete wiring harness front to back. I used the existing fuel tank and added a fuel pump and return fuel line. I wanted the interior to be able to lay down for hauling...so I used a bucket seat combo out of another Suburban (91). I have not finished the inside yet...but I have front to rear carpet and the correct (NEW) seat upholstery for all the seats. Here are some other specs.
1972 3/4 ton...was a 402 (long gone)
1990 throttle body and 700R-4
Shortened original 1972 2 piece drive shaft
Dana 60 rear...its about a 345 ratio ???
Front and rear AC..I am upgrading to a Vintage air system this spring.
1991 bucket seats and matching fold down middle.
Close to the original green (new paint). I added the white top.
All new hardware, handles, knobs, bezzels.......
Interior is black and green.Original green door panels with new black armrests.
Black carpet, black seats, dash pad, visors, door lock pulls.
I have a set of white (match the roof) steel wheels with dog dish covers.
I also have a 72 4x4 blazer, 72 4x4 short, fleet, AC, tilt, tint, and a 72 GMC 5500 dump truck I use weekly...Lets see if this will post..trying picture now.
