1972 Chevy Suburban Panel Puzzle
So long story short I bought this suburban and it looked to be in really good condition. bought it, brought it home, was curious as to how much bondo was on it ..alot. Out comes the air tools hammer and chisel and off comes about 1/8th thick chunks Oh well, the journey starts now. With some research I found the panels I need, with more research I couldn't find the others I also need. Searching through the Interwebz and find out these things are neglected as far as reproduction panels compared to the pick ups! Few bumps in the road, I'm not afraid
So to cut to the chase what I need for this titanic is to reconstruct the rear wheel wells as far back and forward as possible. Manestruckparts.com is a good source for these burbs. From them I got the following: http://www.manestruckparts.com/store...Words=suburban -for the driver and passenger side http://www.manestruckparts.com/store...Words=suburban -for the driver and passenger side http://www.manestruckparts.com/store...Words=suburban -driver side specific http://www.manestruckparts.com/store...Words=suburban -passenger side specific With those pieces I just needed the top portion of the wheel well. GMCPauls.com is another good source. Provided from them: http://www.gmcpauls.com/bed_patch_panels.htm on that page its item #180219. It has the 1/8 bead and should be the same radius as its not model specific. Getting that for both the drivers and passengers side. In addition to my wheel well situation, the passenger front and rear doors has a crease type dent going down the side. I found a repop front passenger door: https://www.a2zvehicleparts.com/prod...hoCBJAQAvD_BwE For the rear door I'm going to use a front door skin and trim it to the width of the door: https://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/19...d=action_crash That should do it for what i need.. Any knowledge/input as to what panels will work and what wont will be appreciated! I'm sure this has been posted here before but for someone that's in the same boat as me, we'll sail together!:uhmk |
