Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Is anyone running a factory gas tank with a factory floor in there bagged suburban? I was looking at mine the other day and it looks like its going too low to use.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

I moved mine to the top of the frame. Worked great but the floor had to e raised up some to clear.

I was trying not to have to move up the floor but I may have to. Did you have any issues with the filer neck?

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

The filler neck just needs to be shortened. I'm actually going to go with a tank made by Scott's. It will mount on top but still be under the floor. It tuck in there nicely and not hang under my frame.

I have been on the road the past couple of weeks so I havent had a chance to get anything done. Dad sent me this picture of the third door and the hatch and tailgate painted. Im hoping to have the rest of the paint finished up in the next couple of weeks.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

That looks really good

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

I'd recommend painting them to match. That would look better IMO.

It is amazing what you have done in such a short amount of time.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Yea, its going pretty quick...just not quick enough. Probably still a year from being on the road.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

I'm away for two weeks but I did get all the weather stripping and window rubbers ordered. I'm hoping to have it all by the time I get back.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

where did you order the striping?

those side window rubbers are ridiculous in price!

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

I got some of it from LMC and some from GMC Pauls GMC Pauls was almost half of what LMC was for the rear window rubbers.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Got my slosh tubz today and they are awesome!!! Thanks Mike!!!

Looks like tomorrow will be the day we get the paint finished up. Im glad I will be around to help.
