72 burb

Bought this a week or so ago.($1500)
this is my first project of this size and I might be biting off more then i can handle. Im learning quick.

Pretty sweet ride.hopefully have everything done by next summer.

Things to do...
6-8" lift
wheels/tires
paint
all new weather stripping throughout
all interior needs redone..so basically everything.
fix heater
fix both a/c units
clean up motor(runs..but not great)
new bumpers...off road style.
rear bumper will be spare tire and gas can holder.
roof rack wih a lite bar.
winch in front bumper



72 suburban
1/2ton
4x4
air-conditioning/rear air(rear air??pretty rare?)

little rust here and there.

Driver door was rusted out. Got a door off a truck.
I thought it would swap out with no issues.
Thought wrong.



Before


After

some patches of rust in a few areas...
So i bougt a welder today and decided i could patch the rust myself.=D
upon fixing the rust patch i found 2 more below it..omg

finished patch..lol


ive had these tires in the shop for about 2 years.
so i decided to put them up for sale..but im having second thoughts.
I would have to swap out the axles though..1/2 ton=6 lug and these are 8 lug off my current truck.(pic below) but swapping axles wouldnt be a bad thing.


craigslist pic..couple people have called.

because this looks pretty damn good.


i put it on my lift to get a look at what it could look like.

Planning on painting it..already started pulling glass and once it is patched/sanded/bondo/...ill paint it in here.
im thinking satin black. i bought a sample for the cloth for the interior. ill post pic once i get it in the mail.


now onto the question...
are parts available for rear air?
i didnt realize it was an option back then.
any info will help!

thanks
