Looking better all the time.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

One of my favorite 'cheap' wheels- lookin' good! What tire sizes did you go with?

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Thanks,

Here is a link for the wheels http://www.aewheel.com/eagle_alloy_w...d=2383&cat=471

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Thanks guys!

The wheels are 20x8.5 all around.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Looks slick, what kind of Backspacing did you roll with?

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

I had to get a shorter tire because I couldnt use these on the front with the slosh tubz. I ended up changing to a 255 35 and now I dont have prooblems.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Seems like I said something like that. Ha
J/K

What most people don't realize,... you also have to be able to "turn" these wheels left and right,... INSIDE the fenders, because your new ride height is so low.
(you no longer turn thru the wheel opening)

Believe me,... you will feel the tire rubbing the "inside of the fender" if you turn too far.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Yep, expensive lesson learned.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Looks incredible!!!!!!!!!!

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

This is a great built thread..
I have lots of Q??. So can you post some specs of the parts you used when you get a chance. thanks...

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Sorry, just saw your question. What parts are you wondering about?

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

The spec I'm looking for would be to get a better ride.After rereading your thread, you got porter built. I don't. Maybe that's why mime rids like crap..lol SO what shocks are you riding on? Also what size is you motor.. Thank ugly p

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

You are getting a little ahead of me. The engine isnt installed yet and its no where near being on the road at this point. The engine going in is a 496 bbc.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Been busy at work latley so I havent gotten much done. I picked up a big air tank, all my air tubing and new fuel tubing yesterday so I will start getting those run next.

Today I made some filler panels for the front fenders. Its kind of hard to tell in the pictures but they have the same size and profile as the factory ones. The factory ones just looked bad from where I cut them. Hopefully they will never be noticed once they are finished. I will get them painted when we re-paint the fenders.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Looking good. What was the final verdict on your side trim?

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Thanks. Still plan on getting the trim. Went back and forth about it and I definately want the trim.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Love the Burb man. All you need now is a accuair manifold...... Lol

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Burb is looking killer. One of my favorites. What disk brake setup you running on the rear?

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Thanks, they are 11 inch drilled rotors and stock gm calipers.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

I got the airline tubing run and I think I am going to have to add some kind of heat shield to protect them from the heat coming off the headers.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Doesnt look like much but the air lines, fuel line, brake lines and battery cable are run now. Im really glad to be done with that.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

looks good to me!

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

x2, and i cant wait to install all my goodies to get it sitting as low and looking 1/3 as good as yours, gotta finish building part of the rear floor so i can move my battery back there among a list of other things haha

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

I was trying to keep as much of my original floor as possible. It sure would have made things easier to just make a new one. Still gotta get the gas tank figured out too.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

lol, i hacked mine to pieces early in the build when i first started the rear in getting it notched

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Sweet burb!!

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Absolutely luv this build. Man the colors are right on. Keep on truckin. Can't wait to see it finished.
