Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

I was trying to keep as much of my original floor as possible. It sure would have made things easier to just make a new one. Still gotta get the gas tank figured out too.

Got the column in. Guess I could have taken the old gauge cluster out before I took the picture.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

Looks great. Are you going to wrap that wheel? I would think it would get hotter than hell in the Texas heat.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

I had several old dashes so I put one good one together until I can get a nicer set of gauges.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

Nothing much new done, work has been taking a lot of my time latley. I finally got around to ordering body mounts. I was in a hurry to get the truck painted and out of the shop when we set the body back on and the originals are in right now.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

Got the new body mounts in and I sure had the old ones wrong. Got them all put in properly and I actually lowered the body about an inch lower than it previously was.

Steering linkage looks great. Your running a BBC right? What headers are you running on it.
