Not much of an update, but a little is better than nothing !!
I removed the seats and hauled them to my storage container at home, along with the other Burban parts that need to be stored while the massacre takes place ... :lol: |

Anyway, here are a few more from the other day .... - - I removed the entire harness from the LT1/4l60 to start the de-pinning of all the unnecessary emission crap ... - - http://i57.tinypic.com/258mf42.jpg - - http://i62.tinypic.com/1zl9ili.jpg - - Then I brought the work home with me ... set up some saw horses, a sheet of 3/8 ply, and started the de-pin... - - http://i61.tinypic.com/33eslzs.jpg - - http://i60.tinypic.com/23m32vn.jpg - - http://i62.tinypic.com/2hnm2ra.jpg - - http://i58.tinypic.com/28t87th.jpg - - Everything unnecessary has been removed. Next will be reworking the harness a bit to accommodate the Burban's engine compartment and firewall. Debating if the ECM will be inside, or left on D/S fenderwell. |
Re: '62 GMC Suburban "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
I see you have your own crystal ball huh? :lol:

Re: '62 GMC Suburban "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
So I received the ECM back from Brandon at lt1swap.com .... fast turn around !
I brought more work home with me .... This time the chassis http://i57.tinypic.com/vg4ryd.jpg http://i60.tinypic.com/qrapl0.jpg This way I can solder, shrink, loom, and customize the harness perfectly ... (Not necessarily in that order);) |
Re: '62 GMC Suburban "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
So I managed to complete the Harness at home last weekend. Fired it up, and ran as it should with no issues. Reached operating temp, and the fans cycled .... DONE !
So this step it done. I decided to key the OG engine fuse box intact. I started to remove it, but it was a no-brainer to reuse ... all the circuits/relays are there. The box also supplies TWO 60 AMP "body" circuits which is nice. One will power the Burbans body, and the other I will use for a high current headlight upgrade. The "airpump" fused relay circuit will probably be my new horn relay ... And finally, the 25amp "ELC" (electronic level control) circuit will power the air-ride switches/valves. http://i61.tinypic.com/f03n5.jpg - - http://i62.tinypic.com/2wh15q8.jpg - - RIGHT SIDE CAT makes a great coaster .... - - http://i58.tinypic.com/20kc7qs.jpg - - http://i58.tinypic.com/e5r9rd.jpg - - http://i59.tinypic.com/mw40sh.jpg |

Re: '62 GMC Suburban "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
The Powder Coater across the way let us borrow one of his Rotisseries, and with a few mods to the arms, I was able to fasten it safely to the Burban Body.
I cut out sections of the body mounts to allow as much blasting of the inside as possible. Further bracing was done to help support the load. My plan is to do blasting in "stages" .... This will allow me to work on it a little at a time, without getting overwhelmed, and to keep flash rust to a minimum. The first order of blasting was the entire underside and the floor/rocker/kick panel areas. I will start on this first, in order to build the mounts for B-body Frame. :metal: |
Re: '62 GMC Suburban "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
