Re: 72 Suburban Started

I was able to get my gas stick welder home so I can install the rear suspension; my mig welder is just not large enough. I am also ready to fire up the engine this weekend and install my core support and radiator. I wish that I had bought a 67-69 core support instead of the 70-72 since I am going to order a new front clip. I may just have to reorder a core. How hard is it to modify a 72 to fit a 68 front clip?

Re: 72 Suburban Started

I just fired up the motor today and it is running great so far but I did have to get a new fuel pump, I am working on the rear suspension this weekend and when I get it on all 4 wheels again I will load it up on my trailer and take it to get some exhaust installed. I still have to order the new front clip and I still have a lot to do but I have the fever again and hope to get it drivable soon.
