Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!

I have just the basics on the drivers side. The fuse panel was relocated to above the trans tunnel and ran to the frame that way..

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!

well, i own a bunch of welders. lol. i used a hobart 230 machine for those i believe. i also own a Lincoln 220 and 110 machine. i would use a 220 machine just for the amperage you will need to penetrate. i know some people say they can get a 110 machine hot enough, i could never get it to do it. a welder is a good investment, and over time it may actually make you money by doing jobs for other people.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!

ya your right. i been wanting to buy a 220 for a while, but its hard to invest in expensive tools because it takes away from my truck for a long time lol.

i thought about turning it into money from other jobs too, but i have a horrible consious (sp?) thats why i dont even want to weld on my own frame...i guess experience would take care of that though..

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!

im thinking also to maybe buy these [IMG]http://*******************/files/imagecache/product/Over_Axle_Lower.jpg[/IMG]from suicide doors and weld 2 pieces of square tubing across the notch and weld a square 3/16" plate across, and mount the top bag to it. the lower bracket is only 30 bucks, and im sure i can rummage around for the tubing and top plate. those kp brackets are nice but they are over 100 bucks shipped!

is there a reason your going to use sleeve bags instead of regular bags? i think you can still use the kp brackets with sleeve bags either way though..

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!

well i still havent gotten the engine puller yet, so i decided to finish up the rear that i started on a few months ago. and heres how it turned out..





lot better than this...



still needs a little grinding and then filler but happy how it turned out. this was probably the hardest part i had to replace on this whole truck...lot of body curves and a tailgate hinge to make sure it was lined right, lot of relief cuts and splices. you can see its still a little bent in, but the bumper will cover that anyways

I've seen you around on the forum, but I've never really looked too much into your build. I just read all 16 pages of your thread, and let me just say that you do some impressive work. Keep it up man.

thank you..appreciate you dropping in!


well guys, i got my axle brackets in a few days ago, had the day off so i went at it. cut them damn tubs out, that wasnt fun! im having a few problems trying to get everything lined up...some unusual problems. hope to get this all welded up by this weekend. heres a shot with the trailing arms up against the frame, with the bag mocked up. just a teaser til i get everything welded in, but should be what it will look like.




im really considering a spacer between the ta crossmember and ta's because im not really digging the offcentered wheel...

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!

Sweet! Looks like your making more progress than I am. I just have an idea and the material. No time though. But here is what I will most likely be doing. Something like this just cut to fit obviously and gussets where they need to be.

that does look tough. could you make a square crossmember that hoops over the axle housing?

thank you!


well, got everything wrapped up yesterday. it tough trying to weld with a 115 amp welder, i think before i attempt a "Z" im going to get a bigger welder! heres some progress pics from over the weekend..








was tough trying to get a good angle, but you get the idea! i still might add some 1" spacers between the bag...it doesnt get a lot of lift with this setup..it just clears over the top of the tire at full lift.
