Suburban's had wood in back starting from behind the front seats to the rear cargo/clam shell doors. Now that wood was covered with a ribbed brown linoleum (sometimes called Battleship linoleum). Like most Suburban parts from the front seats back, there are no aftermarket options.

I'm guessing he used the C-10 gas hole location and hose instead adapting to the the OEM Suburban location. I think he overthought that solution as it looks strange with 2 gas fill locations so close to one another. But it's not mine so each to their own. At least he is out driving it and enjoying it.

Thank you
Marc
