Any action lately? I'll want to watch this one come together. That beige on black looks sick!!!

CLTBurban · 06-24-2013, 12:48 PM

I had the project on hold for a couple of months while we got some things squared away here at the house. However, I have started back on her and worked for a few hours this weekend. I'll take some pic's and drop them in here this evening.

The dropmember is finished along with the supports, motor mount brackets, etc... The rear step is finished along with the bridge and support bar. I have a 12 bolt posi unit I just picked up and will be mocking my lower bag plates in the next week or so. I'm just about there. Just a few little things like tracking down two more bolts for one of the lower control arms. Just sent a note to Nate at PB asking for those.

I've pulled the back carpet out of the Burb, and will be dropping the gas tank in the next few days I hope so I can start cutting the floor and the rear tubs. I'll also do the BB tranny hump at the same time to get that knocked out. It's all down hill from there.

Also, this past weekend, I added a new toy to the stable! She's an all original '68 short bed fleet side, all original paint with lots of patina, but really solid. I need another project like I need another hole in the head, but it was too sweet of a deal to pass up.

I'll drop in a couple of pic's of it as well.

A couple of pic's of the '68 SWB before I got her to the house... Suburban pictures coming this evening.

Sweet pickup man!!!

Looks great, I have the touring drop member too and just installed my rack this weekend but still haven't installed the tie rods as I have to drill out the spindles first. Hopefully will have that done this weekend. If you find out the rack has to be shortened please let me know.

As far as drilling out the spindles to accept the tie rod ends, double check first. Mine went right in without drilling.

subscribed, very cool build

CLTBurban · 07-27-2013, 08:14 PM

So, I went ahead and ordered the CPP brakes for the front. I put those on today hoping to get my front wheels on, but it looks like I'm going to have to do some shaving on the hub. They stop short about a half an inch when I try to put them on no matter how much convincing I try.

CLTBurban · 07-28-2013, 09:01 PM

After hours of sweat and beers...uhhhh tears, the wheels are on, FINALLY!

72BlckButy · 10-04-2013, 11:08 AM

Nice progress. I love all the projects

CLTBurban · 10-04-2013, 11:31 AM

Thanks guys!

CLTBurban · 10-21-2013, 10:08 AM

Made a little progress this weekend. I'm starting the tear down of the Burb, and sorting the headlight wiring for the GMC to Chevy setup. I'd rather get this worked out now vs. later when dealing with all of the other wiring.

CLTBurban · 10-21-2013, 10:15 AM

Next, I'll be cutting out the tunnel for the big block hump and will be tackling the rear cargo area to make room for the step notches, bridge and wheel clearance. The Burb tank will be pulled and used in my C30 since the in-cab unit stinks to high heaven. I'll be using an EFI low profile tank for the Burb since she'll be laying frame.

As far as the LQ4, I just picked up an LS6 intake, TB, rails, injectors and accessories from an 18K mile car. I know I'll lose a little bottom end, but I believe she'll still be more than sufficient with the 3:73 posi. In the meantime, here she is in stock form.

CLTBurban · 10-21-2013, 10:22 AM

Other side with all the wiring, fuse box, etc...

Twisted78SS · 06-08-2015, 06:35 PM
