Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

For a heat shield for your airline up front I used pretty sure it was 5/8 rubber fuel line on the 1/2 airline. It works great for heat and vibration be sure to have a can of lube cause it is a tight fit Burb is absolutely beautiful keep it up

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

Been busy putting a lot of little things back together. The cool wire loom finally got here and I got all the wiring finished up, got my dash back together, transmission hump back on, the gas pedal put back in and I added in some door pin switches. Next I will probably get a brake booster and finish up the brakes. A couple of pictures from today.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

Looks even better in person guys, very sweet suburban. Got to see it when I bought an radiator of off craigslist . When you opened the garage I was blown away .If it wasn't for the heat evaporating ,I would have drooled all over it.
Found a fellow member and got a nice show and a much needed part, turned out to be a pretty good start to the weekend. I will definitely be following your build.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

I got the rest of my brake parts ordered this week. I decided to go with a hydro booster and I picked up a booster/master cylinder off a 2001 one ton van. It didnt have a proportioning valve with it so I got a wilwood adjustable one. I ordered braided front brake lines and a couple of other odd ball parts. I gotta head out of town tomorrow and I hope everything is here by the time I get back home.

I grabbed my back seat so I can get my air tank mocked up and figure out exactly how I am going to mount the battery. The tank fits perfect.



The seat foam is in pretty good shape, just need to get new vinyl for it.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

My dad was going to throw these door panels out so I snatched them up. They are in perfect shape. I painted them up to see how they will look. I plan on having them wrapped in vinyl and then doing the insert in the blue highlander material. I just need to find a rear set.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

Got back in town and all my parts came in.

I may have to end up trimming up the slosh tub on the drivers side to use this booster and proportioning valve.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

Got the bracket for the booster and got it mounted. I had to relocate the proportioning valve to the inboard side. If it were on the outboard side I would have to had to cut into the slosh tubs. I guess the only drawback to mounting it this way is the lines from the booster to the proportioning valve are going to be long. I clocked the booster so the pressure and return lines will be on the bottom.

Finally got all the plumbing done and the hydraulic lines made up so the brakes are now finished.

Not sure if you are still looking but there is a set of Burb door panels on the parts board.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

I got to do a little while Im hme for the next couple of days.

I was originally thinking about using a v belt to drive the engine driven compressor like this.



But after trying to get a combo pulley with no luck, I decided to just add an idler pulley like this.



I ordered an idler pulley the other day and got it installed. I think its going to work like I want it.
