Yes this is very nice I just noticed that the rear hatch and tail gate are shaved. What does your dad have to actuate the latches on these? The same as the front doors?

I've been a member for a while, but I'm not very good with computers, so this is actually my first time posting, but that's my suburban, and both doors and the tailgate are on remote. The new weatherstripping acts like a spring and pops the doors and the tailgate open enough to pull on when you hit the remote.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm curious though, once you unlatch the hatch and raise it, do you just activate the solenoid again to release the tailgate? Sorry for the questions, but I'm just trying to understand how you made this work.

Heres the 63 I had and then sold this past fall. I screwed up. It was real clean, and had a great drivetrain. It was like driving my wifes 99 suburban.

Yes after I raise the hatch I have to hit the remote again.

I agree with you both.......I saved pics of this truck a long time ago and roughly styled my 'burb after it. I like to call it the 'Bondo Diamond'

Here's my 64, with factory A/C, PB, & PS. I put a 700r4 behind a 355 w/Vortec heads(worked), Performer RPM intake w/Edelbrock 750, ceramic coted headers, 10.2 cr. I also put modern seats & carpeting inside, but kept the outside totally stock, if you don't count base/clear as an upgrade.

thanx for the info. i visit the gmcpauls.com website, there are no pictures and i dont know the parts numbers/models, hope you can tell me the gas-tank and taillight part# for my suburban so i could order it online.

i apologize for my english.

As far as I know the Suburban/Panel gas tanks are not reproduced. If yours is not repairable, you might have to get a gas tank for the '69-'72 Blazers. But they do not have the indentation for the spare tire. However they will interchange.

This one is marketed as a conversion gas tank for the '63-'66 pickups, but it is a '69-'72 gas tank.

Here is basically the same kit from GMC Pauls

I used a poly gas tank from a 92 caprice wagon, added some 2" angle brackets for strength. This also increases fuel capacity to 22 Gal.
