That looks really good! No problems with the install? LockDoc |

No problems at all. Most of my install was plug and play with a little wiring. The setup was a little confusing at first but once I figured out how to navigate the setup menu it was pretty easy |

Time to tackle the worn out original headliner in the Suburban. More pics to follow as I move along on the project
|
Re: New project : 72 Suburban
Thanks for posting....I'm about to tackle this project myself
|
Re: New project : 72 Suburban
I'm not sure if I saw it, but why the change to the Dakota Digital dash? I think it looks good (I actually added one to my project truck), but didn't know if the Intellitronix dash you initially installed gave you issues?

Made a few panels today for the headliner and finished up the insulation. Rear section is finished. When I get back into town next weekend I hope to have the headliner completed
|
Re: New project : 72 Suburban
Looking good! Is your rear AC unit working or did you retrofit it with a newer aftermarket one?

Headliner is coming along, today we installed the front portion of the headliner over the driver/passenger area
|
Re: New project : 72 Suburban
Looks great, really cleans up the interior. What did you use for dividing the sheets?

Finished the headliner for the Suburban today

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
Man that looks clean, what did you use for insulation? Have you driven it yet and did you notice a difference in road noise?

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
Finished up the AC in the Suburban today. Now both front and rear units are working and was 51 degrees at the vents.
|
Re: New project : 72 Suburban
Well, a few days after my last post the wife and I decided to go for a ride and test out the AC. It lasted 8 miles and POW !!!! #6 line going to rear unit let go right after the tee fitting. So I ordered all new line and beadlock fittings and made new lines for the entire system. Cant complain though, all of the lines are original but at least I know that both units work and this summer I can ride with the windows up.

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
What did you use for the headliner pieces? I've got a friend with a 71 burb that asked me. Thanks!

Picked up this little gem today a couple miles from my house for $30 .... 1960's AMF Roadmaster 26 inch bicycle. Fits perfect in the rear of the Suburban and should make me some cool transportation at the big shows i attend.

Finished up the AMF Roadmaster bicycle . Added a tank, original fender headlight (that actually works ) and a new set of white wall tires. Also built a rack to strap down the bike in the rear of the Suburban. Fits in there pretty nice

Re: New project : 72 Suburban

Looks good! I always try and save what I can too. If a guy has the time to spare he can save a lot of money..... LockDoc |
Re: New project : 72 Suburban
That's a lot of work to save a hatch but it's worth it! Looking good!
