Re: 70 suburban build
Wow! You dont mess around. Nice work! Just curious if you have any seat install pics? I installed '04 Silverado seats in my '67 and they sit a little high. I built a bracket to utilize the factory seat holes out of 1x3 tubing. Im thinking about redoing though.

I got a little time with the suburban today and got the tank modified for the fuel pump and some paint on the fire wall.

Re: 70 suburban build
Why did you recess the sending unit into the tank that low ? Was the 2001 module assembly not deep enough to reach he bottom of the tank ?

Re: 70 suburban build
I am amazed at how you can get so much done in so little time. Your work ethic is to be greatly admired.
 Keep up the great work. Is that a 64 Bonniville taillight I see in the garage?
