dude that would be great if you put a door handle on the other side just to screw with people lol maybe air brush a line that looks like a door line on it and see how many people try and open it. Maybe make it like a joy buzzer when they push the button lol or better yet have you ever seen the comedian jeff dunham who does all the puppets like walter or achmed the dead terrorist or peanut? make it so when someone trys to open the fake door handle you hear walters voice with him laughing saying something like you dumbass and him laughing again.

Nice work. I'm looking at a 72 burb right now

[g9m3c]

Nice project! I'll be looking forward to progress.

i was actually looking for a truck in this year lol. then i thought, man i wonder if i can find a suburban in this year, so i googled 67 suburban and this came up...



heres the link to more pics

so the first dallas craigslist search i tried came up with my burban. it is funny though how i never seen even 1 before i got it, now i have seen at least 3 other ones....so now im trying to hurry to get it running so i can drive it around and everyone know im one of the only ones with one lol

[StreetFreak]

lol I was looking at trucks too when I heard about a 3/4 ton 72 burb. I'd rather a 67-68 1/2 ton but I'll settle. I'm just thinking road trip machine.

[kev2809]

lol, i think they would be pretty easy swapping to a 2wd frame anyways if thats what you wanted, i see them for sale all the time

heres some more pics of the old school suburbans ive saved..

[ryanbrears]

they look amazing body dropped, i like the orange and white one

[StreetFreak]

Your not helping me save any money

[kev2809]

haha! i know i know, its hard not to look though lol. the blue one is my fav, and that orange and white lives about an hour away from me but ive never seen it in person. once you get these bagged with dropmembers, the body drop is only about an inch. lot of work for an inch but it does look good!

[kev2809]

update, I did get some work done yesterday. I pulled the front passenger side suspension apart, drilled the holes for the upper bag plate, drilled the hole for the airline to run through. mounted up the bag with the lower cup on and put everything back together. and I can't wait til I get the drop spindles and get recessed cups for the lca. it looks like a 5 inch drop so..def. need to get it lower than that. I still have to do the driver side so that's when im gonna snap some pics..so maybe tomorrow I can get some pics up for u guys.

[kev2809]

driver side done. just need to get a schrader valve put on my t fitting so i can air it up and get my damn jack out lol. ran out of daylight, so as soon as i get off of work tomorrow ill take some pics of the front "aired out". this will be all temporary until i get the drop spindles and cupped lca's. ill probably start bagging the back end this week hopefully. anywho...until tomorrow!

My first truck was a '64 burban, but a GMC. 2 door, turquoise and white. I loved that thing! Had a 305 V6 with a 2 speed powerglide in it. That thing was a beast, we called her the disturbin suburban.

[kev2809]

I like those body styles too, the panel ones remind me of a hearse. hey I was lookin through ur build thread, I like that ec 4x4 u got. where did u get those 22's? I can't find anything that's even close to tuckin on my 98 sub.

[1LOW4X4]

Thanks man. I got the rims from a member on here, rays4x4, who also had a lowered 4x4 at one time...

[kev2809]

nice. i bought 1 set off of craigslist and they didnt fit and i gave up lol

heres the pics i promised..


aired up

aired out

front view up

front view down


i know the pics suck, im taking them with my phone until i get my camera back from a friend. once i get my drop spindles, im pulling off the bags and redoing it with welded in recessed cups in the lca. that should get me close to 5" more of a drop so i cant wait for that. until the mean time, i might as well start on bagging the back. i still dont have my notch or drop blocks...but im anxious to start so o well. ill put up some better pics when i get my camera.
