1972 Chevy C10 5.3 LS w/ Air Ride Suburban C-10 Patina Hotrod Restomod Wagon

Chevrolet Suburban 1972 Description

1972 C10 Suburban w/ LS conversion and Air Ride that was originally a state vehicle from North Carolina. I looked for one of these for around 2 years and this was by far the best I found.I built this vehicle over a 3 yr. period with almost all of the mechanics, suspension and interior being new or rebuilt. I have a majority of the receipts for this build, and I can assure you that you cannot locate and build this vehicle with equal quality and aftermarket accessories for the reserve price…especially if you have to hire the work done by a local shop. This is a great vehicle that is very dependable, fully road tested and ready to enjoy with your entire family.

Here are some of the features:

Engine Compartment:

This was an awesome running and driving vehicle whenever I got it, but I wanted a more modern practical vehicle so the original drive train was removed and replaced with a low mileage LS engine/trans. This suburban can be driven anywhere and easily cruise on the interstate at 85mph. The engine compartment is very clean and detailed.

·5.3 fuel injected engine with 4l60e trans. The engine & trans were stripped & painted with seals and gaskets replaced…engine and trans are very detailed.

·Boyd’s Aluminum EFI Stealth gas tank with internal stealth pump and all new fuel lines

·Spectre Cold Air Intake and filter

·Early Classics Engine & Trans Mounts

·Custom wiring harness & programming from LT1swap w/ computer mounted in cab…all connections are sautered with heat shrink wrap. One of the goals was to hide as much of the wiring as possible.

·MSD plug wires and new plugs

·New power steering box and lines

·Aftermarket low profile oil pan

·New front brake calipers, pads, rotors & pre-bent lines

·New front inner fenders

Chassis/Suspension:

The suspension was also completely removed, bagged and replaced with Early Classic powdercoated suspension products.I’ve used their products for years, and it’s always excellent quality and the components work flawlessly.

·Air Ride w/ 4-2600 Dominator bags and dual Vair compressors with paddle valves (Note that the compressors are not plumbed, but come with vehicle…currently on shredder valves) You can complete the air ride system to best suit your needs and preference.

Interior:

The interior of this vehicle has been restored to create a modern, fresh & clean interior w/ better sound dampening than a newer model suburban. After much research, completely gutting the interior and many hours of labor, this ’72 suburban is as quite as my 2014 model.

·New CPP complete automatic tilt steering column

·Updated steering wheel

·Neutral color paint

Exterior:

Note that this vehicle was built from the inside out. I have always had the intention of painting this vehicle, but once I got it on the road, after some patina enhancement and numerous compliments, the color scheme grew on me…it’s unique with character, and I liked the idea of not having to worry about scratching the paint. Whenever I purchased this vehicle, the only rust was on the lower part of the rear hatch. The rust was removed and replaced with metal.

·Body is very straight w/ only a small ding in the driver’s door

·All doors open and close great
