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.

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.

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
 

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.

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.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Is anyone running a factory gas tank with a factory floor in there bagged suburban? I was looking at mine the other day and it looks like its going too low to use.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

I moved mine to the top of the frame. Worked great but the floor had to e raised up some to clear.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

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.

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.
