Did I see a recent FB listing where you were selling this sweet Suburban? I sure looked and sounded like the same one....

I have really enjoyed this build...

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

If I still have it, that is in the plans....:)


Thanks you. Yes I posted it on their, lot of lookers but no $$$ yet.

It's not sold yet so keep playing the numbers, :lol:.

Still working on the interior. Right now I've got the 2 drivers side panels made and the front passenger side done. I'm still trying to figure out the rear section by the spare tire hole. I found a thread by another boardmember (67C10chevy) where he used a hard shell tire cover to place over his tire. I don't plan on carrying a spare, but I thought I would do the same thing but mount a subwoofer in it. Thoughts?

Also, any tips on speakers? I plan on running to 6x9s on each side in between the 2nd and 3rd row seat and 2 6" rounds in the kick panels with a 12 -15" sub in the spare tire well. Should that be good enough? I'm running the RetroSound2 stereo unit so I'm not sure it can handle that much more. Suggestions are welcomed, :D.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

I like using the spare well for the sub. Forego the 6x9s and get a good set of 6.5” components front and tear

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Thanks. Any particular brand? What about the sub?

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

That spare tire cover is a great idea. That's a great place to mount the sub too. You might have to make a divider to help with weird sound vibs but I'm not an expert on audio. :lol:

Selling so soon....... Craziness. Good luck with the sale.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

My thoughts as well. You haven't even really gotten to enjoy it yet have you?

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Thanks. Sometimes it's just time to move on...I've priced it high, but fair for what work has been done to it. Unfortunately burbs don't bring the money that trucks do, so I may be stuck with it....;).

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

JLAudio makes the best car speakers I’ve ever heard (components and subs!!). I’m running them in my c10, my boat, and my work truck.
They are pricey, but as the old adage goes you get what you pay for. I’m with gringoloco forget the 6x9 and go with 6.5” components. Out of curiosity what are you asking for the burb?

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Do you have any particular part numbers? PM sent. Thanks

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

These are what I am running for component speakers. Very crisp sound.

They make awesome subwoofers and amps as well.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Can you post a link to for sale add?

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

The only place I've seen it is on the Street Machinery Sunday Swap O Rama page on Facebook.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

This guy I've been following on Instagram does really cool installs and he seems to use Illusion Audio and JL Audio stuff in many of his builds. I agree that 6.5" components are good for the front. 12" sub should provide all the bass you need.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

He does nice work!

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Finally getting some work done on the rear interior. Hope to have this part done soon.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

The interior is looking really nice. Are you going to use a factory 3rd row?

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Yes, I just pulled it out to do the carpet and panels in the rear.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

What did you use for insulation under the carpet? I really wanted to use lizard skin, but damn that stuff is expensive.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

I used Fatmat in the front and I used some sheet insulation from Home Depot in the rear over the top of the wood.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Please forgive this hijack. Some info on Lizard Skin.

Now back to your regularly scheduled build.

As always I love what your doing with it. :metal:

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Very nice work on the interior! I need to do the insulation over the wood in our 72 as well.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

No worries, thanks!

Thanks, I hope it works like I've planned it, :D.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Making a little more progress on the rear panels and speaker install.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Looks great! Nice, clean work.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Looks so nice!

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Thanks guys! I was going to do something more "flashy", but decided to keep it simple. I'm going to work hard to get the rest of it knocked out this weekend.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

So I have all of the rear interior done except for the panels where the spare tire goes. A buddy of mine is going to build me a speaker box to go there and then I will finish the that area off. If any one needs a cover to go over there spare tire, let me know as I will be reselling this silver one I purchased. Up next, will be installing my amp and front speakers. Looks like I get to pull the front seat out again, uggghhhh.....

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Looks good, what strip did you use on the end to clean up the install?

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Are you talking about the carpet divider? That's a factory piece that I painted satin black. I'm trying to locate a nice chrome one to replace it with.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

:metal:

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

What do you want for the silver tire cover and what size tire can fit in it?

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

The cover has a 30" diameter. Here's my for sale ad: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=760260

Here's picture from a board member that first did this.
Let me know.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Thanks, I will think about it and decide if that's what I want to do.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

nice work, Rod...

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Thanks, let me know.

Thanks!

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Looks great Rob! Which seatbelts did you end up going with for the back two rows of seats? I just bought some retractable shoulder belts from Morris for the front, but curious if those would also work for the back two seats. Thanks.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

I just got the lap belts. You can use the shoulder belts in the rear, but the mounting point is pretty high and I'm not sure how that would work with children.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

With the second row I used 88-98 3 point seat belts. My kids have never had a problem.
