WOW! I dig this one, and I don't usually like Burbs.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Got the other tub in. Stopped by the paint supply place and got the color for the bed liner, and the bed liner material should be here this week.

The floor and cargo area are now done in raptor bedliner. I really like how it turned out, even though most of it will be covered with carpet.

Wow! Looks good. Really cleaned it up!

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

that looks great! i like the way the texture isnt to rough. mixing the color in was a great idea. Where did you get the liner matl from? cost? i found it, not a bad price either.

for anyone interested.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Thanks!


Thanks! That is the place I got it from. They have an eBay store and it was a little cheaper. It takes 10% urathane paint mixed in with it.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Yeah, I used it on my DD.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Did the bedliner stuff spray out of a normal gun or did you use a special gun or did you roll it on?

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

I had to work this past week so I didnt get much done.

I got the 454 the other day because it was a standard bore block. I got the short block torn down yesterday and to my suprise the crank had standard rod and mains in it. Almost a shame to not use it. Im hoping to get the block over to the machine shop and get the redy for the new rotating assembly soon.

Today I got the hood hinges fitted to the fire wall. I will get the brackets welded up to the hood tomorrow.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

I got everything in the interior that isnt being painted out and finally got all the old weather stripping and rubbers removed. Not too much more prep work and the rest of the interior will be ready to paint. I plan on getting all the door jams painted at the same time.

I forgot to post this picture of the hood hinges installed:

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Looking good, mine is the same color,I like the coating you used on the floor. I think I'll check that out when I get to that stage. Getting ready to send mine in for metal work.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Im not sure, I havent really checked. Would be sweet if someone were making a body drop kit for suburban...hint hint

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.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

What did the Porterbuilt set-up set you back?

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

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.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Wow man! I got a 86 K20 suburbans...but these suburbans just ROCK...My friend has a 72...and I love love the way they look when you bag and drop m like you did/do!

Will be following your very nice build.

Re: 72 Dropmember 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
 

Looks great. I have always loved a layed out suburban.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

oh man this is another one of those show stopper builds I sure love me a burb especially with having such a big family I wonder since they originally had wood floors in back if u could adapt the trucks wood bed kits into one hmm...

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Thanks guys.

Actually Im building this to be a driver and the wood will probably be covered in carpet.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
