is that maple red ?

Re: finally put some color on this thing.
 

It is the factory red that they used on these trucks in 1972. Its kind of looks orange in some lights. My spid just says red.

Re: finally put some color on this thing.
 

Looks super! What size tires and rims are you running. I am thinking about using the same rims on mine.

Re: finally put some color on this thing.
 

That looks killer! What drop are you running on it?

Re: finally put some color on this thing.
 

I am running 225 70 r 15s on the front and 255 60 R 15s on the rear with 8" ralleys all the way around.

Re: finally put some color on this thing.
 

Its on Air with 3" drop spindles in the front. I still want to put a small C notch in the back to bring it down another 2" in the rear but that will come latter. I dont intend on this thing laying frame or anything but I want it to sit nice and low when at a show or something.

Re: finally put some color on this thing.
 

I got a little more done last night and today.

Re: finally put some color on this thing.
 

This is turning into a build thread lol... I am getting pretty excited as this thing is coming together pretty fast now. just put the third door together today and thought I would share another picture.

Re: finally put some color on this thing.
 

Nice progress! You're really getting close now!

Re: finally put some color on this thing.
 

Looking good. Where did you get the rubber grommets for the lift gate hinges? I need new ones for mine.

Re: finally put some color on this thing.
 

I just cleaned up the old ones. They were painted over from the last paint job years ago and when I cleaned the paint off they looked like brand new.

Re: finally put some color on this thing.
 

Great looking suburban. Looks like you have taken your time and done things right and with good detail.

Re: finally put some color on this thing.
 

Thanks!!! I try to detail things as I go that way I'm not taking things apart twice. This has been a long project but it seems to be coming together now.

Re: finally put some color on this thing.
 

Just another update from the weekend. It was a long day Sunday but new grille and bumper are on doors all put back together and started installing the new side trim. I would love to have this thing done this week but work calls so It will still be a couple of weeks.

Re: finally put some color on this thing.
