Re: 72 Suburban Build
It rides very nice. I need to do some work on the camber/toe in/alignment still. My friend runs the auto hobby shop on the base so I'm going to see if he can open it up for me tomorrow so I can use all of their cool equipment to do it. I'll probably put it up on the lift and check a bunch of bolts too. I just noticed a drip off of the master cylinder so i need to fix that today also. Other than the drip from the master cylinder (which is inside the cab) there are no leaks from anything...so far.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
Wow!
Very cool Suburban. I have a question for you.... I also bought the Scott's Hotrod indash master cylinder/booster setup. How hard was it to install and route the brake lines? Didn't see any pictures of that part in the build. Thanks for sharing your build with us. I looks killer! Hope to get my 4x4 body work done one of these days!

Re: 72 Suburban Build
Got the beast aligned today and snapped a couple pictures on the ride home. Here is a short video clip to prove it moves on its own...

Re: 72 Suburban Build
I really wish I could but I don't think I'll make it. This week has been pretty crappy and I need to work late. Hopefully we can get together at another event before you go.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
Took the Burb to a little local car show. It was a HUGE hit! Lots of compliments and questions.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
Just read the whole thread beginning to end. Love your style and wish I had 1/10th the metal skill to get that done. Heck I would be happy just getting rid of my rust....
