i have my own parking space at the gas pumps.

i got a mpg boost after all this work was done. prob on account of the sum of all parts.

Yeah right! If someone is looking for fuel economy, a '73 square is not the best choice. I have stated this before, these trucks were designed when fuel was less than 30 cents a gallon.

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.

Welcome! You might try Jon Addington for the weatherstripping. He is a member in my local squarebody group and specializes in used parts for our trucks and is a distributor for some good quality weatherstripping. His business is Mr. A's Chevy truck parts and he is in Vancouver, WA area, so not too far from you.
