72 Dropmember Suburban

Went to the Pate swap meet yesterday and got a good deal on a carb. The one I had didn't have the choke on it and needed a rebuild.

That was the guy.

Spent the day getting all the seats and console holes drilled so I could get the carpet in. After all that, I realized the carpet I got was for a low hump, not the high hump that I ordered. I called the place I got it from and they are supposed to order carpet again Monday and they said it may be in this weekend.

I did get my slosh tubs pedal cover polished and installed.

Thanks, I love them

Just sat down and went through the entire build. You are doing a hell of a job and your Burb is absolutely beautiful.

[blfuller123]

Thanks

Im slowly knocking down my to do/to get list. Im hoping to drive her this summer.

once again nice build. I was just wondering how and where you mounted the elevel sensors. Also what aluminum dash bezel is that. I thinking of switching my autometer gauges to the vhx. If you can post pics that would be great.

Thanks! Here is a picture of the right rear elevel sensor. I don't think I have a picture of the front ones. Ill take one when I get a chance.



The aluminum dash I got from someone locally but I believe its the same one LMC and the other companies sell.


Got some more parts ordered. I should be home for a while in a week or two to get some work done.

[blfuller123]

Seems like every time im heading out of town, parts come in.

Got the rear ac cover I bought. Im hoping to get an Old Air evaporator that will wit under it. If not, I will continue to look for a factory one.



Front brakes got here too.





Will be another week or two before I get this put in.

haha, sure is. Like a swamp cooler

[kikkegek]

cool (literaly :-) )

[blfuller123]

I think I can make this kit work http://www.oldairproducts.com/catalo...it-p-4509.html

When I get back, Old Air isn't too far from me, I may take the cover up there and see if they have a demo unit that I can look and see if it will work.

[blfuller123]

Im ready for music now. These came in the other day and I painted them to match everything else inside.



I ordered some license plates to put on if I go to a show. They are just plastic but I think I am going to glue some magnets on them so I can just stick them to the real plates.

[blfuller123]

I didn't cut the dash and I got the radio installed. That is something that should have been done before I put the ac in but its in.



I wish I could have gotten it with blue lights, but it will work.

[blfuller123]

Spent the better part of the day working on getting the brakes put on. I only got one side done. I ordered the spindles for a 72 and apparently I had 63-70 ball joints. I had to pull the lower A arm to swap out the ball joint which meant I had to take the header loose to get the mount A arm bolt out. Im hoping to get the other side done tomorrow.

While the truck is on jack stands, I still have a lot to the under side so before I take it off jack stands, im going to try and finish that all up too.

You're a machine!

[blfuller123]

Got the correct carpet and it installed.

What color carpet did you use with the parchment seats? It looks good.

Burg looks great! You should have someone pull a fiberglass mold off of that cover. I bet you could sell a ton of them....

[kev2809]

man that looks great!

did you buy the full carpet set or just the front and the middle?

Thanks, I hadnt thought of making a mold. I don't know anyone that could do it.

Might be a cool idea, maybe make it just a little larger to make an aftermarket evaporator fit in it, could add a rear dome light and speakers...hum Know anyone that can do it?

Thanks, I bought carpet for just the passenger area and it came in two pieces and I also ordered the matching floor mats. I really like the carpet!!!
