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. ![]() |

I wish I had a full second row instead of three seats.

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.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
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. ![]() |

Before I headed out of town this week, my york compressor got here. I got back home last night and my seat covers made it. Got to work a little in the garage and got the bracket fabbed up. Im going to order a turnbuckle for the bottom to tension it. Gotta go find a belt now. ![]() |

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
What are you I singing for a pressure switch for the edc? I used a square d with an unloaded. Keeps the pressure of the head for easy start up on the compressor works flawless and adjustable

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
I dont have the pressure switch or a check valve yet. Do you have a part number for the one you have? looks like square D has several. I have the coalescing filter that kilby used to sell with the oil return kit but I havent decided where to mount them yet.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
I'm pretty sure this is the one.9013FHG-42J59M1X
Has an on off lever right on it. I have mine tightened up to around 250 psi. I didn't use an oil return kit on mine. Just put a water trap about 2ft behind in a location easy to drain it really doesn't push much oil through. Usually drained the trap every couple weeks and I drove this daily while always playing with the air. As for the head I used a breather filter on suction and for pressure I tapped the inside of the fitting on the headwith a 1/2 or 3/8 NPt. Couldn't find the right fitting for the outside threads. I did that while the compressor was running so no shavings would go in. Here us a pic it's not mine but I copied this one for my install. Gm fullsize has a great thread on the exact install |
