Oh teh noes! Another n00b!!11 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

T-H · 02-22-2007, 02:30 AM

Hi, my name's Tom, I'm from Michigan and I have a 1972 Chevy C-10 Suburban. I bought it three years ago off a used car lot and have had in in and out of storage since then. I've done some restoration work on her but there's still a little more bodywork needing to be done before she's perfect but thanks to a general lack of money at the moment and the unforgiving **** weather of Michigan I'm unable to complete her just yet. Under the hood is a very clean (if a little rusty) Chevy 350 V8 with a Holley 4 barrel carburetor hooked up to a turbo 350 auto trans with shift kit, it breathes through a dual long tube side exit exhaust and has a smaller fuel tank. It's also painted a bright green that I'm fairly positive was not a factory color (I don't know much about the 67-72 color options, hopefully one of you fellas can help me) and has a set of peeper mirrors and baby moon wheels. It ain't perfect but it runs damn fine and drives like a big green dream. I hope to chat with you all very soon. Thanks. Attached are a couple pictures taken about a year ago, btw she looks alot better now.

Welcome to the board from South Mississippi! The color does look like a stock color to me, but I've been wrong before.

Welcome to the board from West Tennessee. For a Michigan truck that looks great. That looks like a stock color to me. I had a 69 panel that color years ago. Kick back and enjoy, you are in good company.
