Looks great Bob. If I park the Blazer at your house, will it end up looking like the rest of your trucks?

What a perfect looking Suburban!!!!

cheyenne10 · 03-25-2007, 11:09 PM

Oldcreek Interior is parchment (white). We refinished almost all interior parts. Color matched new seat covers very well.

Zuesflash - PM sent!!

Breeh; did I forget something besides buckets?

Jerry - I did the belts and shoulder harnesses. They took the better part of a weekend. (plus 10 yrs of collecting, actually shoulder belts came out of a .burb dad bought in 1989, long since gone, They were in the way and I shelved them!! Several yrs later before I realized what I had.)

Bouncy - no problem drop that blazer back off... oh yeah leave a couple of blank checks and open ended account balance. Really your blazer is killer like it is. A few maintenance upgrades to keep it enjoyable.

This thing is too nice to drive alot and will be at a couple of shows this year and some sunny cruises. Pictures in this case don't do it justice. I need to take some lessons from seeten and others for nice shots. Stay tuned!

A few more pics for tonight.

So Bob hows the burb holding up? You get some cruising time in this summer?

OLD SKOOL K5 · 11-13-2007, 11:27 PM

Great looking suburban! Are your hub caps chromed or are they polished stainless steel? how did you get them to shine so good?

earl87gta · 11-14-2007, 04:16 AM

Pop's72 · 11-14-2007, 07:22 PM

Hi Bob,
Boy am I glad your thread popped up again! I have a question for you. With our first baby on the way my wife has informed me that said baby will be needing A/C next summer. We are going to do front and rear air. I think we now have everything we need to do the install(not going to happen till next spring). Anyway,the question is; where does the fan relay for the rear air mount under the dash? I hope you got as much enjoyment out of your Suburban as we did last summer(isn't it amazing how many people say they knew someone who had a Suburban"just like that one" back in the day?)

CG · 11-16-2007, 07:12 PM

Bob doesnt seem to be popping in on this thread. You should PM him about the air con. I do see where he is on the board pretty often.

Looks like some incredible work has been done on this Burb. Definitely would like to see more pics of this beauty!
