I haven't mounted it yet, but it will probably be under the hood on one of the inner fenders.

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

Great build and nice work!

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

I have not been on as much the past little while..... I just caught this post.

Sweet, thanks man! :metal:

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

Thanks!

I've tried to pull anything I'm not using off of the parts burb and stack it inside of yours. There's not much room left.........:lol:.

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

Thanks alot for that! Every little piece counts man.... I am sure she is filling up between those front end parts, rack and what ever else you have stuffed in there! :lol:


Wait..... I just had a thought, that thing is gonna be like a big christmas present with all sorts of goodies inside!

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

I just read your build and all I can say is you're doing a very amazing job! Great color choices as well!! This week I got a 5.3 and decided to drop it into a 68 suburban I have, I googled 5.3 and your build came up. I'm not sure if I missed it or if no one has asked, but what are you doing for engine management? Just wondering what I will need to pick up to get the engine running in my burb. Thanks in advance.

HO, HO, HO!!! Glad I could help. I can't wait to see what you do with it. I'm sure it will be KOOOOLLLL!!!!

Thanks Joe. I plan on running a SpearTech harness. I've talked to them a couple of times and I think they are going to be able to handle the changes I'm making (supercharger, cruise control, etc). Best of luck to you on your Burb and take lots of pictures.

I talked to Porterbuilt today and solved another problem I had. I plan on pulling a trailer and I think this setup will fit my needs perfectly........:D.

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

Sweet, I checked them out, does their harness work for the tranny as well? And I will taking tons of pics too:)

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

You will be very happy with this set up. I met with Reno and checked out the system very close and I will be doing the same one in my Tahoe.

Keep up the good work NICE

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

It runs the tranny also. I have the electric gas pedal and they are going to pull some wires to allow me to run cruise control.

Yeah, I'm pretty stoked about it. I think it is going to be a great setup and will help alot when I'm pulling a camper trailer, :D.


Thanks man!

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

Nice Progress Rob.... The superburb is gonna be BAD A$$.....

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

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

Thanks!

You won't regret it.....:metal:

Thanks!

What he said! :) Just ordering parts. I received my AccuAir setup yesterday :metal:, (thanks Nathan). I will going back to FL at the end of the month for a week. If everything goes as planned it will all be in red paint and then we will paint all the white when I move back in August.......in the meantime, I'm playing with this.....http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=343684

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

Even though I picked up a new truck while back in FL, I didn't totally neglect the suburban. We almost got everything painted red, but ran into a small paint problem. Hopefully by the end of the week everything will be red and the roof will be white......Here's a few pictures of my 68 SWB I picked up and some of the suburban progress.

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

You have all the toys... I will be going to Destin Fl on the 20th this mth me the wife an the kiddo .. How do it run any youtube vid ..

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

hey rob, was that truck jsut got on ebay, i could of sworn it was, if that is the one i think you got a good deal on it, and i hate dealing with paint issues, they suck.

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

Nice score on the 68! DD-Duty?

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

I agree!!

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

Thanks! It's an early retirement present....:). I haven't made any videos yet or got to silly with it since the suspension was heated to get it lower. Once I get that and a few other things corrected, I will take it to the track to see what it can do.....:devil:

Yeah, it's the one from Ebay. I'm VERY happy with it. I just plan on a few upgrades, new drop coils, shock relocator, adjustable pan hard bar, take the tank and battery out of the bed, put the shifter back on the column, hook up the power steering.......just some stuff to make it more driver friendly. We just had a problem getting the paint matched. We finally got it figured out, but it cost us a couple of days.

Thanks! Daily driver/shop truck are the plans. It's a blast to drive, literally, :D.

Thanks. Did you ever get the lowering stuff for your suburban?

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

looking good Rob.....

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

Thanks. Another "teaser" shot......

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

u decided on wheels yet?

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

I'll probably go with TTII's or a set of polished Coys....

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

it is going to be a very nice burb.

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

wow man that truck has come along way for sure...keep up the *****in work!!!

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

OH my god I want that 68, that's so sneaky. Old man outside, supercharged inside!

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

Thanks LD. I'm getting excited about getting it finished. It's been a longer journey than I thought...

Thanks!

It's not supercharged, it's just got a bad alternator bearing, ;).

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

Burb is looking great :metal:

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

bring that 68 over here and lets have a burnout party!

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

Looking good man! I gotta get going on mine here soon.... she has been sitting in the corner of the shop looking lonely for weeks now....

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

right :lol:

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

I would recommend the TT II's over the polished Coys. The Coy's finish isn't that great. Your 'burb really needs a nice set of Billet Specialties wheels!
I wish I had your body man in my area.
Very NICE work.

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

Rob,

Nice truck! I might be able to help you out with the lowered coils. Once I get my truck on the other chassis, I am not going to need the 4/6 drop coils. Rear suspension is almost done and front should be bolt in, thanx Porter.

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

i agree, this burb deserves the best!:metal:

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

Thanks Luv, it's finally coming together.....

You know it Brotha! Sorry I didn't get up with you when I came in. I'll be back for good mid August and we'll do some cathing up....

You know "burb abuse" is not tolerated around here...........:lol:.

You'd be suprised how many people fall for that.....;).

Thanks Jamison. When you coming over to take a look? Do I have to hold your parts for ransom? :) Let me know about the lowering coils.

I'll probably end up going with TTII's, I just haven't quite decided yet.... Load it up on a trailer and bring it down, I'm going to need a job in about 6 months.....:D.

I've been pretty set on the TTII's, but I don't want to wait a year to get them.....

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

No "teaser" shots... you want a teaser shot I'll give you one of a rear end ....
