Hey everybody - glad to have found this forum. I am new to the square body world though i did learn to drive on a 75 scottsdale back on the farm. But I am an adult in the suburbs now. I purchased a 73 super cheyenne suburban a couple years ago. I performed a few repairs on it that were in my wheelhouse and hired out some work too. My mechanic loves working on this old beast. She's good to go anywhere. Biggest puzzle piece is to locate the elusive rear quarter window seals. Anyhow, looking forward to sharing and discussing. see ya on the boards.

Thanks for the compliments fellas. She is a lot of fun to take cruising. Looking forward to first fishing trip when the windows get fixed.

nice Suburban! I am pretty sure LMC sells the window rubber you are looking for.

@ChicksNwaffles Welcome, beautiful truck. Precision Weatherstripping has a part number, but shows out of stock. Maybe you can find another vendor that carries their products and still has it in stock.

If it hasn't been done already, one quick upgrade is to swap in an HEI distributor from a '75 or newer vehicle. Get the large cap version with an internal coil and only two external wires (BAT power and tach). Its an easy direct swap, and you no longer have to worry about adjusting and replacing points.
