Nicely done !!

Since I started this build though we have picked up a 56 chevy 2ton dump bed that will be converted to a car hauler.
Should be fun times !!

I couldnt agree more but at least paint them black!!

As you 66 or older Burb guys know carpet is not to be found for these trucks. I ordered some loop carpet last week and delivered the truck to the upholstery guy who covered my seats. I just couldn't muster the talent to install carpet in this truck "professionally". The nice thing is they sent me carpet made for molding so a heat gun helps to form this carpet over uneven surfaces and the rest is handled by stitching. The back area is banded and will lay loose in the back or attached by velcro. I stopped by today and here is the progress.

I am still hoping to take the Suburban to the Turkey Rod Run at the Daytona Motor Speedway next weekend.

AFAIK the 63-66 Burb rear bumpers were all the same. The Burb bumpers are different than the p/u and are just a lot harder to find.

Try finding an Al grill for a 63, especially with the bezels and light rings. It's a 1 off. They are there but hard to find nice ones at a decent price.

The silver you used is similar/close to what I plan on painting the top of my '63, like where you painted black. The body will be Ford hot rod blue though.

The satin nickel color on the right.

You have done a fantastic job with your Burb! My hat is definitely off to you and the ppl helping you. The pic of where the Burb is pulling the Malibu is totally killer.

they are out there. we were lucky this truck was in such good shape when I bought it. I really planned on selling this truck when I was done but now my wife wants me to keep it because she likes it. Trust me she could care less about most of my cars.

toocrazy · 12-02-2012, 11:58 PM

As you 66 and older burb guys know there is not any aftermarket molded carpet available for these trucks. I can trim out carpet on flat surfaces but when it comes to the transmission hump and making the carpet look right forget about it. I purchased my automotive loop carpet online and had it shipped in. It did have a rubber backing on it I was told was used to mold carpet.......they heat up the carpet and press it on to a mold. I enlisted the guy who covered my seats to lay my carpet. He used a heat gun to mold the carpet around the transmission hump. He did a little stitching as well to make it fit. I ordered some black binding and as you can see after he cut the carpet he sewed this around the edges. He even ordered the rubber drivers side foot mat and sewed it in so I wouldnt wear out the carpet. The truck is in three pieces but it overlaps nice and looks like a factory job. I am extremely happy and would have never tried to tackle this on my own. I had around $300 in the carpet including shipping and he charged me $400 in labor to do the work.

next job, get some tunes in this truck!!

**clemdaddy** · 12-03-2012, 12:27 AM

Thanks guys. Once I put the seats back in, vacuum, and tidy up it should look pretty nice. I have always liked nice sound systems in cars but one thing I have realized is they really ad no value to the car. I am going with some Alpine splits in the Burb. I had a few sets sitting around for my C10 project to I am going to install one pair in the Suburban. There are already some nice 6 1/2 two way speakers in the kick panels. I want to mount the Alpines in the back and the more I looked the more I did not want to cut any holes inside the truck. After all of the work I did not want to hack it up so I decided I would build some boxes for the rear speakers. There was a small space on either side of the rear seat so with a little wood and a little leftover carpet this is what I came up with

I am not winning any audio awards with these but they fit pretty good. i am going to build a box later this week and hoping to fit two 12" subs in the back and a good amp to light them up. Good low end will make any mediocre system sound good
