Re: 72 Suburban Making it mine
Glad the Burb is mobile again. Sure makes it easier to get to other projects.
Mine is mobile and hasn't gone very far this year...time is flying by. Brad, don't recall ...what did you do for a pan hard bar? |

And it fits really well! I'll snap a picture of it next time I have it up in the air.

Re: 72 Suburban Making it mine
FINALLY its back on the road again. Worked last couple of weekends wrapping up the exhaust work. Its done, for now. I want to swap out to an aftermarket cross member for the Trailing arms, that has exhaust openings vs hacking mine. When I do that I will redo the exhaust again to hide it from side view.
But for now, this is what we have. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: 72 Suburban Making it mine
Looks good, are you going to add in an H- or X-pipe when you redo?
Side note: 15" Indy 500's better hold on to those! Used to be my go-to RWL tire. Now I back to using Cooper Cobra's.

I bought the biggest UltraFlow I could fit on my '98 K1500. It sounds nice and deep outside, but no more noise than stock in the cab...I didn't realize I would enjoy it so much!

Re: 72 Suburban Making it mine
Good work Brad! Made everything fit and it looks good. Was that a pipe package or?

Re: 72 Suburban Making it mine
Thanks Doug! I ordered mufflers tips and a pair of ball flanges. The rest was basically all the pipe I had removed previously. Chop saw, mig, a sharpie and some patience.

Re: 72 Suburban Making it mine
Suburban has been serving as tool storage as of late. Had a lightening strike that entered the attached garage and started a small fire above my bench/tools. Everything is fine, and working to fix the garage, but the old burb was pretty much side lined for now.
![]() Its future holds a few different things. It is going to give up the 6.0L and instead get the 5.3 from my C10, as well as the entire front suspension from the 79 ( lowered and all new ) bolted into the 72 Sub. The 79 C10 truck will become a K20.

Re: 72 Suburban Making it mine
Just finished flipping through your thread. Truck looks great. What seats did you end up going with in the end?

Re: 72 Suburban Making it mine
Thanks, I'm still at the 4 captains chairs. I need to do something and I like what you did, as it would be faster for me to do that vs getting the 3rd row brackets made up... we'll see what I end up with this spring. Its time to get back on it, first cruise in is upon us this weekend!

Re: 72 Suburban Making it mine
I'll get back on here again more. I have made a few adjustments and upgrades I'd like to share.

Re: 72 Suburban Making it mine
Glad to see you still kicking around! Do you still have the Tahoe Limited?

I've been daily driving a mint big block Suburban since April, 454 runs too well to LS swap at this point, and only has 97K on the clock (purchased with 88k). Do you have a thread on the K20?

Re: 72 Suburban Making it mine
I'll be making one once I figure out how to share photo's now that Photobucket looks like it went junk...
Any insight there?

Re: 72 Suburban Making it mine
I really like that series of gauges for sure!
Nice update. I had a red 2011 Suburban with that shade of leather seats, they are good ones!
