Been awhile on some updates!! Hope all is well!

Living the dream.

I've mostly been working on my 93 Silverado. I have finish up some loose ends on the Suburban like replacing the pass wing window and painted the tailgate and hatch struts. I've taken it to a few car shows and cruise nights. I did make the wall of fame at Hires Big H. They take pictures from the cruise nights of the best cars and highlight them on a entry wall. That's pretty freakin cool.

I know you've heard this a few hundred times now, but that suburban looks amazing! I just spent an hour reading your build thread and I'm impressed. You ever go to the UVU car show at Thanksgiving point?

jbclassix · 11-26-2010, 12:34 PM

lookin good!

*project 67 sub* · 09-11-2011, 02:56 PM

any updates on this beast???

jmedero · 09-12-2011, 11:55 PM

man I love this Burb!!!

19723DR · 09-14-2011, 11:24 PM

Sorry guys, not much to report back, on this one at least.

I've had so much other stuff going on that I've placed this build on the back burner. I was able to aquire the A/C compressor and hoses. I'm waiting for the Suburban to turn 40. Here in Utah, anything 40+ years old is considered an antique and is exempt from emissions testing that I stuggle to pass every year. On a side note, I joined our local Severed-Ties club, I'm still a prospect. That's been a lot of fun; we've hit a couple of big car shows and a few cruise nights. I've spent the last year mostly working on my '93 Silverado, if you'd like to look at it, check out my build thread.
A month ago, I picked up an '82 long bed s-10. Shortly after that, I bought a '51 Chev Suburban which I'll start a build thread here in the next couple of weeks.

Check this out. 51 Suburban on a wrecked camaro subframe. I have to say I like charities cases. So far the S-10 frame is under the thing with a Vortec 4.3 that's been in my garage for the last 6 years. I'm going to use the old middle and 3rd row seats from the 72 Sub Because of the narrow width.

Yes that does say drivable.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 10-16-2011, 10:23 AM

That 51 should tune out nice..

Slinger60 · 10-16-2011, 05:15 PM

Just read this build. Very nice work. All the hrs. of work really paid off in the end.This is one Very nice burb.

19723DR · 07-15-2012, 11:45 PM

Seems like it been forever since I posted anything new. I have been super busy at work and have spent most of my spare time working on the 51 burb. I've taken the 72 to a bunch of cruise nights and car shows this year; the most resent was the Cache Vally Cruise-in this last weekend. Here are some pics that I took from the last few weeks.

The 51 is on the road, but still needs a lot of small things before she finished. I bought this truck less than a year ago and I can't believe how far it has come since then.

19723DR · 07-15-2012, 11:57 PM

Here are some from The Cache Vally Cruise-in in Logan Utah. The first two are in the campground and the rest are from the show. I am so glad I bought this truck and have had a blast driving it to events with my wife and kids. We put over 300 miles on here these past few weeks.

Heavy Evy · 07-16-2012, 12:13 AM

Glad your staying busy man. Both the burbs are top notch. I just lost my burb and i'm having withdrawals. You don't happen to know of any locally available?

Thanks, still living the dream. That sucks what happened to your 'burb. It's hard to believe that some moron would have the guts to do that. I haven't seen any locally, But I can keep an eye out for ya.

I love the 72 Burb!
