The Family Ride ('Burb)
 

I picked this up from a fellow forum member late last year. My girls (age 4 and 1 1/2) love it. My wife actually really likes it too. It's a rust-free '72 Suburban with the stock 350/350. Porterbuilt stage 1 front, CPP notches and air bags in the rear, CPP front and rear sway bars, Porterbuilt trac-bar, AGR steering box and pump.

I have a 2004R to swap into it, but ran out of time before Columbus GG.

The longer term plan is for a 6.0L/4L80e combo and use it to tow my Nova (track car). The Nova will be a longer term project, but I hope to get started on it this Fall depending on how funds and available time work out.

Here is a quick couple of pics.

We'll be at Columbus grilling out behind the Suburban, so stop by and say Hi! I may also AutoX the old boat, just for fun.

I love it.

Very nice family ride. I have a friend with a 64 impala wagon.

Me too

Me 4, I like it, love it, can I have it???

Very cool Brandon!!! :relax:

What size are the wheels and tires front/rear?

VERY nice. I will be at GG also with my rusty 72 nova. look for it on the autox also

I'm not positive of the wheel size and backspace, but I'm pretty sure of what they are. I just looked at the tires to verify.

20X8.5 front - 255/40/20 Toyo Proxes ST
20X10 rear - 295/40/20 Toyo Proxes ST

Brandon,

I owned two '79's but not the previous gen like yours.

What do you like about it besides the styling?
