Newb from the PNW... 72 burb - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*fastonthetrack* · 02-03-2012, 11:10 PM

Sup guys, Im new around the c10 forums. Just picked up a really nice 72 suburban, blue with white top, 2wd, original big block truck, new 454. Shes a 2wd of course with custom lower control arms and some real old school 15" american racing wheels with some 275/65/15 im pretty sure, about 4" of drop up front and maybe 3" or so out back.

Plans are to lay out on 24s, big stereo, blow the 454 and dress up that motor, some nice shiny paint (not sure what color im gonna run), probably going to suicide the rear door (its a 3 door). considering the interior is perfect, ill prolly leave it mostly stock for the time being until i can find 07+ tahoe buckets for a decent price (black of course)

I generally move fast on projects and will begin ordering parts next week. Ill start a build thread as soon as i take the first step. any recommendations will would be great... Not my first rodeo but im no expert. Should have all the suspension finished along with most of the electronics and motor by the first big show of the summer.

Heres the only pic i have right now.

Pretty cool Burb. Welcome.

*fastonthetrack* · 02-16-2012, 05:28 PM

IE huh? i went to Lake Elsinore HS for a bit then moved out to temecula in red hawk by pechanga... Then i went to Fallbrook HS. of course this was almost 10 years ago.

vectorit · 02-16-2012, 06:22 PM

Cool, I live just South of Winchester Rd about 3 miles East of I-15.

I know Redhawk, nice homes there!
Where I live, 10 years ago it was just a dirt field for a few square miles

This area boomed in 2001, you probably would be shocked as to how much it's grown since the last time you were here.

*fastonthetrack* · 02-16-2012, 06:36 PM

Well i was def there for the boom. I still visit often. its INSANE how much that area has grown in the last 15yrs.
