Re: New project : 72 Suburban
Who makes the tank and why is it returnless? Are you running FI or carb?

Finished assembling the fuel tank yesterday and installed it into the Suburban. Today will probably concentrate on plumbing the intake and running the fuel line. Hopefully in a couple of weekends the wiring will be complete as well and the motor will be ready to fire up for the first time

Getting closer to start up. Radiator support , radiator, and some plumbing completed. Waiting on some odds and end parts to come in so the motor and trans can be buttoned up and I can move on to the wiring

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
Great progress. Looks great!!

Been working on the wiring for the Suburban (when time permits) I have the 3D analog digital dash from Intelletronix put together and powered up the lights with a 9 volt battery. should be a nice piece once it is installed in the dash itself

Wow! That baby really shows up. Will the dash light dimmer work with it? LockDoc |

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
You have put some serious work into that old girl! Looks good!
What scares me is that I am looking at duplicating your efforts on one I am looking at as far as all that rust repair. I guess the rust is in the "usual" places on these....pretty much anywhere water can find a place to pool. |
Re: New project : 72 Suburban
Today Dad and I were continuing on the wiring on the Suburban and made an amazing discovery. Powered up the wiring harness for the rear AC unit and the fans came on, all 3 speeds and the small cone shaped interior light underneath the unit is operational and working. Good day in the garage today!

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
Wiring is just about finished on the Suburban. Last week Dad and I took a few days and built the exhaust system for it, came out pretty good. In the process of building a homemade oil primer for the LS. Hopefully sometime next weekend I will fire it up for the first time. Cant wait to hear it run!

Cant wait to drive it for the first time !!!

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
This is a killer build you've done some great work with the sheet metal. Makes me dread cutting into mine.

Last week while on vacation the Suburban touched the ground for the first time in almost 10 months. Got to drive it for the first time. Runs and rides great! This week I'm just trying to wrap up a few minor things and Friday morning we are off to Good Guys in Columbus OH.

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
The trip to Good guys in Columbus was great ! Bad news is when I got home the trans was leaking and had to be pulled out and sent back to the shop. Turns out that the bushing behind the converter chipped off somehow and got so hot it welded itself to the snout of the converter and had to be removed with a puller. The shop installed a new pump, bushing, and converter. Installed the trans last Friday and all is well. Shifts good and NO LEAKS. Now I'm ready to go to the Rockabilly Ruckus this Saturday !! Hopefully the new build bugs are out of it for good (fingers crossed lol)
