You could get by with a gallon, but a gallon and a half would be better.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

Is the PB kit just for pickups? Or anything with a C10 frame? Sorry for the noob questions.

The suburban, blazer and pickups have the same suspension and the PB kits fits them all.

I bought it in pieces so I dont remember right off had, but I did get the front dropmember, rear dropmember with trailing arms and inboard bag mounts, upper and lower control arms and the hood hinges. I did get the weld in notch instead of the bolt in notch.

I would get the bolt on body drop kit if they offered it for the suburban.

Sorry that was part of my question as well but did t make it from my head through my fingers. So the bolt in body drop is only for the pickups? It can't be adapted to blazers or burbs?

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

Thanks guys!

I got all the tape pulled and I am really happy how the interior turned out. The pictures dont do it any justice. I am ready to get the rest of it painted now.

I was trying not to have to move up the floor but I may have to. Did you have any issues with the filer neck?

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

The filler neck just needs to be shortened. I'm actually going to go with a tank made by Scott's. It will mount on top but still be under the floor. It tuck in there nicely and not hang under my frame.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

I have been on the road the past couple of weeks so I havent had a chance to get anything done. Dad sent me this picture of the third door and the hatch and tailgate painted. Im hoping to have the rest of the paint finished up in the next couple of weeks.
