I had the drive shaft shortened and balanced. I'm also working on plumbing the fuel lines. The Supercharger has a single feed, so I'm going to use a Corvette fuel filter/pressure regulator.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Looking great!
Question on the driveshaft. What changes did you make to it to connect to the 4L60E?

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

nice job!
How much were the air ride upper shock mount relocators?

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Looks Awesome!

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

I had it shortened and the tranny yoke for the 4L60E added. I also had them balance it.


They were free, sorta. I bought the old strong arms that had the shock tab on the bottom. When I called and complained about them hitting, the gave me the kit free. It took about 3 hours to cut the old tabs off and to weld the new ones on, :(.

Thanks!

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Finally got the body mounted back on the chassis. Here are some before and after pics for comparison. I like the "slight improvment, :D.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Some more.....

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Damn dude, that's is f'n sweet! I hope you're still planning to run the white all the way down to the bottom of the windows like the rendering.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Thanks FF, the white will be the last thing painted (like the rendering, :)).

We're on our way back to NM. Should be home tonight

Thanks!

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Wow! :metal:

I don't see any trim holes? Maybe I missed it, but will they be added later or airbrushed? :cool:

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Thanks!

I'm going to use the stick on kit from Mar-K.

Thanks, I've always admired yours and probably wouldn't have done a Burb if I hadn't seen it. Soooooo..... I have you to thank or to blame, it just depends on the day, :).

Probably going to pull it there so you can do a TUNE on it for me, :D.

Thanks man, glad to see yours is back on track.

Thanks!

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Looks Great can't wait to see the finished product !!! Quality Ride !!! :metal: Bob

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Thanks Bob!

Here's some more chassis pictures and the completed fuel line pictures.....

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

What are you using to hook up the shift linkage? I assume the factory stuff will not clear those headers. Thanks

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

I have a LOKAR setup that I'm probably going to use. I also have the factory cable setup from the 4L60E that I could also use.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Hey Rob, I know you said you would be storing Donkey because of your move but what about the burb?

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

It will be in my buddy's shop while he's finishing the paint. If he gets it done by Christmas I may drag it out here......

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Christmas? Is he painting 1sq-in. at a time?

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

When it's ALMOST free, AKA Buddy deal, it's hard to complain............:uhmk:., :D.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Very true!!

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Did you weld a plate to the firewall first? I ask because I was trying to figure out how to mount mine. I considered just straightening the 'arm' and mounting it in the stock location, but I think I like your install better.

Thanks!!

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

I welded a 1/4" plate to the firewall. That allowed me to install it in more of a factory location. Make sure you drill and tap the plate for your mounting bolts prior to welding it in.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

I just read thru your build again and it sure has come along way! I forgot all the tail gate and light work you did, well worth it!

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Yeah, but it would probably be done by now if I had left them original........:waah:. No new updates unfortunately........

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

man,you have done some work, about time lol. looks good and i know it will be bad ass when its finished. good luck

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

great build I just spent 2.5 hrs. reading and worth every second...

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Thanks Joe. I've been following your CrewCab thread and it's turning out really nice. Hopefully I'll get to see it in person sometime next year, :).

Thanks Iron, I'm glad you like it. I can't wait to finish it and drive it.....:D.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Looks very nice in red!! Going to be a sweet burb. Didn't know there was a stick on trim kit. Can't wait to see how that turns out. I am sure it will be nice.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Some more red parts.......

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

nice! Are you going to two-tone after it's all together?

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Thanks!


That's correct. After discussing it with my painter buddy, we decided that would be the easiest way to do it. I'm pretty sure that's how the factory did it also.
