Its dumped just after the trailing arm crossmember for now. I'll probably go a little farther and try to put it in front of the rear tires when i have a little more time. I need to get it driving though so I can work the bugs out of it.

I just uploaded a new video. I realized the microphone was covered on the last one and then had to move farther away so the microphone wouldn't crackle.

Re: 72 Suburban Build

I had some power steering hoses made and hooked them up. I didn't like the way the Borgeson ones that i bought thru Porterbuilt went. They had 90s on the rack side and it just didn't fit very well with what I have. I had some made up with straight fittings coming off of the rack and it went much better.

Denny...did you PCS yet? This is Brady with the inline 6 70 C-10. Thanks for the steering column. I'd love to come by and see the 'Burb if you haven't left yet.

Ya man, I'm still here. September 16th is my last day at the command. I'm making brakelines right now. I should be home all weekend. If you see my Touareg in the driveway it means I'm home. If its not there, I probably ran to the parts store and will be back soon. If the garage is shut and you hear music, just knock on the garage door. I'm air conditioning my garage now because its too damn hot.

Re: 72 Suburban Build

Wired the fans today. Unfortunately the temperature switch they sent me won't fit in anything so I need to buy another one. Doesn't surprise me. I wired all of the gauges up and made ALL new brake lines. I just need the rubber hose I ordered for the rear to come in and I'll be taking her on her maiden voyage, which will more than likely be straight to get and alignment.

Re: 72 Suburban Build

I'm going to try to stop by there and check it out Saturday if you are going to be around. Was about to head over there last Saturday, then that big storm hit. Looking good dude. Can't wait to see and hear it.
