    1984 Suburban Interior Panels the go over the Fenders

    Personally, no. Seen several posts with folks talking about it. Since I don't have it already, it just made me decide to not add it. Just a talking point - area of the country and how it's taken care of probably contribute. Don't get all upset.

    1984 Suburban Interior Panels the go over the Fenders

    Another thing to consider - the Burbs with the plastic panels surrounding the windows and side panels - seem to have more issues with rust around the windows. Mine does not have the higher trim interior, and after reading about that issue I decided if anything I will build some custom panels...

    part ID & smog pump removal

    Yep, that's what I plan to do. Want to replace unknown age heater hoses anyway, cheap insurance. Gonna do a backflush with the current hose and one of those prestone adapters i have laying around, then put the new hoses on - maybe do a shutoff valve for the heater core. Summer in AL is HOT...

    Cruise Control Bracket

    Were you adding cruise to a non equipped truck? My truck does not have cruise, but I have that actuator and have yet to determine what might be under the dash - no other cruise hardware under the hood

    part ID & smog pump removal

    Lots of good youtube videos to help with this swap, pretty straightfoward. One I found that had a few bits that I particularly liked was "Best Damn Shop Around" channel. Instead of cutting the the fuel hardlines, he used some adapter fittings to another AN fitting and did not cut his factory...

    part ID & smog pump removal

    It does have coolant hoses, I'll try and remember to post a reference pic in case anyone needs it. Front hose goes into intake next to T-stat housing, I think the other ties into the back of the plate and comes from the top heater hose. My plan is to photograph everything thoroughly and box...

    part ID & smog pump removal

    My reading also indicates they didn't make a big block TBI specific intake til 91 maybe, or possibly not at all for Mark IV My reading also indicates they didn't make a big block TBI specific intake til 91 maybe, or possibly not at all for Mark IV

    part ID & smog pump removal

    Oh no, taking lots of pics before, and everything in a box once removed. Leaving all the TBI wiring intact and tucked away neatly.

    part ID & smog pump removal

    About to swap from TBI to carb (NO comments from the TBI lovers, you have no idea my situation and I don't care how well yours runs), trying to eliminate anything not needed. For now, I plan to remove the TBI adapter and run the factory manifold. Also would like to eliminate the smog pump -...

    Suburban Interior Trim

    Mine is a Custom Deluxe 1987 - no trim in the back. I've heard others mention rust around the windows, and I too think there may be something to your idea. I want to add rear AC to mine, but otherwise I'm gonna leave the back bare for utility. Prob do the lizardskin for heat and sound on the...

    dash gauge bezel mods

    Anybody still doing the Autometer gauges in the factory bezel, with new ideas for such? I have a 90% complete set of new guages, and a spare bezel. Trying to avoid spending the high $$ for the various pre-packaged setups for our trucks. Gloshift isn't so bad at about $650 ish, but, the speedo...

    454 water pump replacement

    Going to do a cooling system flush before starting intake swap, and I'm going to replace radiator and heater hoses, etc while I'm at it. Truck has 108K, but has been sitting in the hot AL sun on concrete for the last 10 years, so I'm going to be proactive and replace most if not all of the...

    Suburban Rear Heat & AC removal/installation/compatability

    Reviving this thread, as I would like to add rear AC as well. I can see from the diagrams on of the parts sites that the compressor lines are different, allowing the rear lines to tie in. I have not been able to find a donor close by to pull it all from. Could a hose shop make the hard lines...

    Adding gauges

    Bears208, I need more details and info on your gauge cluster mods! I have all the Phantom gauges except speedo from another project, and an extra factory bezel, just not sure about the work to make them mount in there.

    Headliner what to do

    I'm just going to use some fabric I picked up cheap to recover mine after cleaning all the old adhesive and foam off. Seen several folks use fleece blankets and other fabric and looks good.

    Realized I've never done the intro post. Picked up my latest square about 6 months ago, 87 R2500 Suburban Custom Deluxe w/454. I think I'm 3rd owner, previous was a buddy who had it for 10 years and probably didn't put 8K on it. Extremely solid and rust free truck, just needs a little love...
