Re: 70 Suburb build.. my first documented build
Looks like a nice project. If you are using an image host site you will need to edit the picture and resize it to a larger size. If you uploaded the pictures directly to the truck site then I am not sure what to do.

Re: 70 Suburb build.. my first documented build
Thank you. I used photobucket and this is the best i could do, sorry. If anyone needs to know exactly what is required to put a 67-72 suburban on a 67-72 lwb frame, these pics show step by step from front to back. Picture #1 is the front body mount, lines up perfectly. Picture #2 is an actual suburban frame mount that i was lucky enough to get with the body. Just drill 4 holes per side after the body is located with the other mounts. Picture #3 is the middle bed mount , just drill hole over about an inch from the original. Also note the front and second bed mount on the lwb frame must be removed along with the rear cab mount before you set the body on. Picture #4 is as simple as drilling a hole in the frame when the body is centered. This will be the rear most mount for now until i graft in the suburban rear frame stub. This is not necessary, but will provide mounting for the rear bumper, and give more frame for that last body mount to sit on. See picture #5 to see where this will be.

Re: 70 Suburb build.. my first documented build
Check your cameras setting. Most can be set to a finer resolution...fine...super fine... upload a pic directly here...I think that may work. Just a thought (not a photo expert)

Re: 70 Suburb build.. my first documented build
Not sure what the deal is with the pictures either. I use photobucket and have never had that issue. Great information on the truck to burb frame conversion.

Re: 70 Suburb build.. my first documented build
about the pics...i think if you copy and paste the [IMG]pic url[/IMG] tags directly into your post, you will get the larger pics. hover your mouse over the picture in PB and a drop down box should pop. select the [IMG] one and click on it. it should say 'copied'. then just paste it in your reply.

Re: 70 Suburb build.. my first documented build
Well I got the pics figured out. The ole thing still needs a lot of work, but everything under that old body is new or rebuilt. Not bad for an empty shell of a body a couple weeks ago if I do say so myself

Re: 70 Suburb build.. my first documented build
Does anyone know what color wire goes to the coolant temp sending unit and does it come from main fuse box harness or somewhere else?
