wow! taking it down to the bones!
is that rear tail panel just bolted in? is it welded anywhere?

both of my subs need a little rust repair in that area, and if it just unbolts... that would make for some easy repair...

Re: '62 GMC BurbMaster "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
 

YOU ARE SO LUCKY YOU ASKED ME THAT !!

It does !!

But I found out the hard way !!

I had my buddy Joe start to drill out spots on the rear tail panel of Burb 1.

After about half way through, we realized ... IT JUST UNFOLDED !!

Ugh !!!!

Pics to follow ....

Keep rockin', John! It looks like a ton of work, but I know a guy like yourself can handle it. It'll be sweet when you're done. :metal:

Re: '62 GMC BurbMaster "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
 

Congrats! Looks like it is in very good shape! could have been a lot worse.

Re: '62 GMC BurbMaster "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
 

Are you trying to be funny ?

;)

Re: '62 GMC BurbMaster "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
 

Just out of curiosity, what are you using for a fuel gauge? I know the ohms are different between an old vehicle and a newer one.

Re: '62 GMC BurbMaster "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
 

No where near that yet ....


But more that likely, a programmable Guage set, like the Dakota VHX serious, for example.


I need to get back to this. .thank for the motivation, guys .... :lol:

i like the half round tank strap mounts looks factory u fancy!!!

Re: '62 GMC BurbMaster "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
 

any chance you dont need the body brace from the one you cut out? or know any leads?

Re: '62 GMC BurbMaster "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
 

mine are uber jacked up. i need to replace it all. the PO reinforced the bad original steel with plate and angle iron, strong but not correct.

Re: '62 GMC BurbMaster "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
 

i know this is an old post,
but you can have this 1 here if you still need it

Re: '62 GMC BurbMaster "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
 

thank you!!! i found one in Az. and had it shipped...

Re: '62 GMC BurbMaster "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
 

Looking good John, Estate Wagons had 22 gallon tank, side fill, looks identical. I used the side fill from 93 Caprice on my panel, Don't know if you have a plan for how yours will fill. Keeping the side fill option? Your welding is Stout. Front and back are rock solid. Going to be a sweet ride.....Ed

Re: '62 GMC BurbMaster "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
 

Thanks man ...

I plan on piping the tank to the original side fill.

Re: '62 GMC BurbMaster "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
 

Man....Did I fall asleep at the wheel on this one !!!

I still have this thing .. currently in my container, as life took over.

When I do get back on it, I will be changing directions and going 4wd...so I will have a running LT1 chassis available to whoever is interested.

Thanks
