Re: 1972 3dr Suburban Build Thread
Thanks. Yeah, I did most of it in the garage but some things like the doors, hood and hatch I did in the back yard. Still need to paint the top but I ran out of warm weather.

Getting up to speed... I made an order to Brothers and ordered deluxe marker lights, door seals, sill plates, pedals and pedal covers.

I also ordered a full carpet kit from Trim Parts. It's light saddle in the 80/20 loop.

Re: 1972 3dr Suburban Build Thread
My focus this winter is finishing the interior. I'm not sure if I am going to re-upholster the old seats or try to find some out of a newer Suburban. The old seat belts latch in the middle so when you put a car seat in it digs into the kids back. What do you guys think? I use it to haul the family on drives. I'd like something that is comfortable and safe. Here are the stock second and third row seats:

The burb looks great! Here's a link to adding gas struts to your liftgate without having to drill or weld anything:

Re: 1972 3dr Suburban Build Thread
I'll post a pic of mine if someone else doesn't beat me to it. It's basically right below the radius if the lower body line (as high as possible without being on the bend). Are those stick-on clips?

Re: 1972 3dr Suburban Build Thread
Thanks, I was asking because I have seen some with a small space. Pics would be great. Maybe what I saw was from people just trying to line them up and the doors and fenders weren't fitting quite right. The kit comes with 24 stick-on clips and all the bolt-on hardware so I could do it either way. I don't have any of the factory holes left though. I'm going to have to drill for the two pieces on the front and back which have two screws each. Not happy about drilling any new holes after paint.
