Re: New project : 72 Suburban
Coming along nicely.
What size drop springs are you using, I see it looks like front drop spindles, are those 2" rear drop blocks? Are you using a wheel adapter in the rear? I'm looking for a decent brand adapter myself for my second set of rear wheels.

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
Spindles are ECE 2 1/2 drop conversion spindles ( 3/4 ton to 1/2 ton ) CPP 2 inch drop coils front and 4 inch in rear along with 2 inch blocks for a total of 4 1/2 front and 6 inch rear drop. Did not use wheel adapters in the rear. Swapped the 3/4 ton rear end with a 1/2 ton rear end. Bolt pattern is 5x5 front and rear

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
I like the burb, looks like factory red and a big block. Did I miss the picture of the SPID?
I need some big block accessories, interested in selling anything? Tried to send you a PM but you have them blocked. |

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
Here is a pic of the coil covers. Sheet metal parts are starting to arrive so I'm going to focus on the body panels and once they are all finished I can install the fuel tank and plumb the motor. Cant wait to hear it run !!!

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
Started working on the lower front quarter on the left side. Had to do a bit of fab work on the front portion of the wheel well. This weekend coming I hope to have the new panel fitted and welded in.

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
The lower rear quarter and taillight housing are roughed in. A little more trimming here and there, plus some reconstruction work in the rear behind the taillight housing, and the backup light housing needs some attention. Should be welded up in a day or so and the driver side will be finished

More fab work today. The bucket for the backup light housing was in pretty bad shape but somehow I managed to save it

Made a lip for the bucket. Welding it up was quite the challenge

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
Did the final fit and trim on the lower rear quarter panel and taillight section. Welded most of it up today. Just a few more small fabrication spots to finish, plus weld the bottom and the driver side will be complete

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
Thank you LockDoc. I'm doing the opposite of what you are doing, spent all last summer replacing the siding on the house and the garage. LOL The man cave will give you a place to reflect on the progress you made for the day in the shop ......
