How about some pics of 67-72 Burbans! - Page 16 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Bob Smith · 11-06-2007, 06:27 PM

The seats had already been removed and re-covered. I was told they were from a Tahoe.

olblue60@aol.com · 11-06-2007, 07:45 PM

WOW!! Nice job, and my favorite color combo to boot! Yes those are the same seats as my 1996 Tahoe. Mine are pretty comfy too.Great ride!

Holy cr@p 72Sub!

that's very close to where I'd like to see mine. The stance is perfect. FLAT!
do tell about your susp set-up. Don't suppose you have a build thread or more pics.

^72 burb

RunninLo · 11-09-2007, 12:39 AM

very similar to my plans. Originally (2002) the plan was to go two-tone HoK orion silver top w/ HoK true Blue pearl from their Shimrin line w/ Orion Silver below the lower trim. Current plans may be to switch to a lower cost paint system since the burb is so huge and will take a ton of paint. HoK may be the best but it aint cheap. I found a blue that was used in the 1990 ZR1 vette's line-up that's close. Also kicking around "Electron Blue" which is the OEM color most recently linked to Escalade and Denali models.

Definately blue silver two-tone though.

I hear ya on the cost of paint, the kids first picked out a tri coat but i had to shut them down as it meant another gallon of clear. these burbs are freakin huge when it comes to painting, i did the flake first then sanded it flat then the blue and final clear took 8 hrs non-stop(except a short beer break) to spray, i had blisters from my gun.whole lot o fun thou.

Thanks for all of the positive feedback!!

72 sub · 11-13-2007, 06:06 PM

thanks for all the kind words, here is some shots taken outside. as for the beer and clear i think it has something to do with the hops ,or yeast , or something?

olblue60@aol.com · 11-09-2007, 06:19 AM

I heard the paint doesn't stick without beer!! Great ride, welcome to the board!!

806em55 · 11-27-2007, 11:34 AM

NOSguy · 11-27-2007, 07:48 PM

Here's My 72'

**Tim Christian** · 11-27-2007, 09:27 PM

Here is my 72

salvageit · 11-28-2007, 12:42 AM

hey 72sub, just wondering if you used the tahoe seats or the crew cab truck rear seats. just got done putting the same set in mine. I useed the crew cab seats, it was a pain to cut out enough of the seat brackets to get the second row far enough back.

72 sub · 12-04-2007, 11:46 PM

The seats were out of a Avalanche, im not sure but i think they are the same as the crew cab ones. They to needed lots of cutting to get them to fit but i had my top fabrication team on them.(my 5 year old son and 4 year old daughter). We bent up some 3/4 pipe like an L and notched the ends, welded it to the existing framework then cut out the stuff in the way. the only thing that kind of sucks is i had to weld it solid so it will not fold flat, the bottoms still lift up though

salvageit · 12-06-2007, 01:09 AM

I kept mine so they would still fold down, I had to cut a little out of the floor in the burb and most of the hinges on the seats. Almost ruined the seats in the process.

19723DR · 02-04-2008, 03:35 PM

Here's my suburban... sorry it took me so long. It's nice to be in such good company.

72 sub · 02-05-2008, 07:19 AM

That yellow and white combo looks wicked!!!!

Thanks, Rick

fist2cuffs · 04-05-2008, 05:49 AM

I am saving now to get paint. What color? I am not sure what color yet or how im going to paint it. I like the two tone top being white. It's a big vehicle to have one color. Then I will worry about wheels. Thanks for the compliment.
