1972 k10 suburban
Picked this up several years ago and have been hoarding pictures, plans change but for now the plan is 3/4 ton running gear, lift and some 35's, bench seat front, CST buckets in the middle, and rear seat, and the entire exterior Rhino Lined in the Medium Olive W/white top. Wife loves how the Highlander Plaid looks but wants brown vinyl/leather so not sure if we are going to commit to the Chevy Plaid. Ultimate goal is to have a fun family hauler.

Re: 1972 k10 suburban
That sounds great. What did the Over-drive run you? After driving this around pretty sure I'm gonna need one as well.

Re: 1972 k10 suburban
I was too lazy to go get my trailer so I threw a tarp in the back of my Jeep and went to retrieve the engine that was pulled from the Suburban.
My son and I tore it down. |

Re: 1972 k10 suburban
I had a guy pickup a Lexus motor from me - he put it in his new Tahoe. I thought he was crazy but when he asked if I had any cardboard to rest the motor against the tailgate I knew he was He had a liftgate and we had to open the window and the gate to get the motor close to fitting in with the sherry picker!

Re: 1972 k10 suburban
Kudos to you for saving that Burban and passing the torch to the next generation! Looks like good work from all hands. I wish your seat mount guy was closer.
