I have never seen an oil filler tube on a BB before.

that is a very nice burb!

Nice burb. Does the 3rd seat have armrests attached to the seat or is that only for the 2nd seat?
Thanks,
Joe

the third seat does have armrest

JoeKan · 09-05-2009, 09:40 PM

Mine must have 2 front seats then. Because I have 1 with arm rests and was told the other was the 3rd seat but doesn't have arm rests.

That is a Suburban to be proud of.

Very authentic Suburban, most of us could only wish to have that much documentation from the original owner. It is an excellent representation of the way it was built in 72.

WHOA!!!

That looks EXACTLY like mine, except for the barn doors!!!

Looky... NSFWK (videographer has a potty mouth at the end)

Mine's a '72 also, 3/4 Ton, same paint scheme, rear A/C... I'm at around 87,000 original miles now.

Differences: I don't have the houndstooth interior, mine was originally green rubber mats, and green patterned fabric with green trimmed vinyl. Mine also has a 50 gallon dealer-installed gas tank and Class IV tow package and (strangely) only a 350SBC.

The reason for all the laughter at the dyno shop was because that "little" 350 put down almost the same TQ number as my '72K5 with a 396BBC. Plus with the dual exhaust at full throttle it just sounds cool.

In the first dealer promo, that is the same trailer my burb pulled most of it's life.
