My 77 burban

I picked this up from a fellow member last July figured I might as well post some pictures it's only been 7 months. Truck is all original unrestored. Willowrun stated it had over 100k on it but it's hard to believe looking at the truck. No sandblasting of wheel moldings hood front edge is perfect as is all the chrome and even the grill emblem is unblemished. Even the front/ rear wheel wells are superb.i bought it in July 2019 took it to the truck nationals in Carlisle PAin August. Only thing I did was change out the gas tank fuel pump and hit the a/c with about a 1lbs of r12 . And a new set of tires tires were 11 years old Cruised out with the cruise control set to 75 mph and the a/c blowing ice cold

Beautiful truck, always enjoy seeing survivors. That color combination of that truck always makes me wonder. I don't think I've seen it on another square.

Nice!

We used to have a 1977 Suburban, but it was never that nice even when we got it. It was a beast: small block V8 and manual four speed, no carpet, no headliner, no a/c, and no power steering.

I did the front headliner yesterday the black is what was left of foam . Literallycam off with a whisk broom . Came out good the wood shims seem odd maybe the original owner had some rattles.

Good job on the headliner!! I’ve done a few myself, but not that big of one.
That sure is a nice Suburban! :metal:

Finished up the rear . Came out better than the front the Binks n° 7 gun is older than me. No more saggy liner flapping in the breeze.

Nice job on the headliner! Glad to see it's getting the attention it deserves.

Xylene cleans it right up. But you can leave it in the gun indefinitely just plug up the air vent. Had a gun in the shop for Landau tops that was never cleaned.
