Re: Cherubs Burban Project
With it lowered and with those wheels. Perfect. I dont like 73-80's, but that thing is sweet!

Re: Cherubs Burban Project
I think it looks great as is, but I'm not a big fan of super huge wheels. I would leave it but I'm in the minority around here on the wheel issue...

Re: Cherubs Burban Project
Unreal, I totally missed this thread. Absolutely LOVE the Suburban! Another inch in the front, and I wouldn't touch it any more. Wish I had a Burb like this...really wish.

Re: Cherubs Burban Project
Truck looks killer man just like it is. I have been thinking about my next project and need the extra space too. I have a 5yo that loves cruises and car shows then we just had twins born. Iv'e been thinking about a 72 Cutlass wagon that I have but a 73-80 Burban has been really growing on me. The fact that I just found yours is not helping me. Its 95% exactly what I want down to the planned LSx swap.
How does it ride and did the front come down any more? Who's parts did you use? What shocks? Anything you would do different? |

Re: Cherubs Burban Project
Thanks a bunch guys for the compliments it helps keep the motivation going.
Well first ill give a little update. I the front never really settled and anylower in the front and it would not be fun to drive daily. So i ordered the ride tech Air over leaf setup to raise the rear an inch it should look alittle better. Also the stock A/C compressor went out so i went ahead and started the serpintine setup. well as i was removing all the emission equipment it became obvious that i would need to remove the exhaust manifolds. so i ordered the headers and will be doing a 3" exhaust all the way to the back.

Re: Cherubs Burban Project
When you say you wouldn't drive daily is it because of the rear bottoming out?
Would a frame notch fix that? |

Re: Cherubs Burban Project
![]() One of those would look good driving around the Dallas area. I can see it now..... The proud new poppa driving his kids & pretty wife to the grocery store (gotta get those kiddy necessaties & read the latest car magazines). Their little dog along for the ride too, peeping her head out the window to catch some air. No worries about where to put those diapers x diapers....there's plenty of room in the back! ![]()

Re: Cherubs Burban Project
Here are some progress pics:
The progress under the hood is almost done. I did the serp setup from a 1994 small block and used the kwik brackets to adapt it to the big block.straight forward and i like the stock look. ![]() ![]() I ran the schrader valve out back by the licence plate for ease of adjustment. I used one per bag and it allowed for independent adjustment. ![]() ![]() Here is the actual bags and brackets. they turned out good. they were really nice quality. ![]() ![]()

Re: Cherubs Burban Project
I just ordered the Kwik brackets this week for my dually. I already have a sbc serp set-up sitting on the shelf & since I've been trying to clean up the underhood, the investment is worth it vs. trying to piece together a bbc serp set-up.
Did you use their crank pulley adapter as well or order the correct bbc part?
