i made a small amount of progress, some more wiring in cargo area, placed the last emblems, and mounted the front seat.

[Coboyle04]

this seat was uphosltered for me about 7 years ago and it still looks great. however i will eventually be replacing it with a stock look

Hey Chuck, looking very sweet, I just f inished my engine and cab wire harness install, my fingers are still bloody. Like the interior look, very comfortable and clean. Have fun today!

[Coboyle04]

here is your full side shot..best i could do in the tight space

[babylonflyer]

That is a nice burban!!

[bigpapinkc]

wow for a daily dirver its really nice! but i have a question. (newbie question) what's the deal with the grounding system? is it necessary?

[Coboyle04]

no it is not necessary it is usually used in other hot rods that dont have metal body panels but having to chase bad grounds on all of my old vehicles has been an uneccesary hassle. this is a simple fix for a small price and it will be nice to have all the grounds easily located.

ok i thought i had to do some investing in the same thing! but thanks i appreciate it.

[bigpapinkc]

hey boss! i ran into some of those grounding issues with wiring the led lights and taillights! where did you buy the grounding system? what's the cost? and thanx for your help.

Hi Chuck, the burb is looking real sharp and looks to be coming along nicely, and oh yeah before I forget, nice looking tilt steering column. You never mentioned in person that you were searching for them, but I will see if I can come up with anything for ya on the upper hatch deluxe trim clips, oh yeah nice upper deluxe trim also. I dont get over here to the projects/builds area to often, and man there sure is alot to look at and read in these threads. I also just earlier today checked in and read through Scott and his boys 69 shorty build thread, and same goes for you also, if you ever need any help with something or fresh ideas feel free to call anytime.

The grounding kit is from American auto wire. I thin between 150 and 200$

The steering wheel, and dash were yours too. I didn't know at the time that I needed special clips Let me know if you find any clips there are a few others looking as well

The window cranks are better than great forgot what it's like to roll a window Dow without breaking a sweat

Hey Chuck, what clips do you need? I have a whole box of extra clips, bolts, nuts I could look through for you.

[Coboyle04]

They would need to fit the upper trim rail and be push in type. Maybe I should just swing by this week and see

I'm still trying to nail down some clips also, trying to figure out if some of the different trim options on the trucks used the same clips. You would think GM didn't use those clips on one vehicle only. I will keep looking and if you find out anything let me know.

Nice build! I love that orange. Very classic look

Incredible burb, and it will be even cooler with the cummins!
