If I can get the flip kit finished on my truck tomorrow, and get it somehow to the alignment shop, I'll go...
If not then I can go next week. No way I'm going without my truck!

Re: just bought a 72 Burb
plans are to keep it like it is, just tweak it here and there. I found the front seat upholstery I think from Classic Industries. Does the suburban front seat upholstery cover the whole back of the seat or is it like the truck and have the springs exposed?????? I will take pics if needed. click on link and you might see the back of the seat: http://www.mvpc.com/72burb.htm


it has a 350/AT/PS/PB/AC front and rear also cruise but dont know if orig. I will take a pic and post.

thanks!!!

Re: just bought a 72 Burb
The Burb seats are fully covered front/back. The vendors sell Burb upholstery.

Re: just bought a 72 Burb
That has a cutom cloth seat. I don't think the average vendor sells those. I have some hoses, but they are 30 yrs. old.
