Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
:jdp:Dude, this thing looks friggen awesome! Paint turned out great. I agree - go with the black trim.
What is your plan with the tail light bezel? Just asking cause you took a picture and it looks like it may run into top trim? Looks great, can't wait to see what her new shoes are going to be:ito: Ronnie |

As for the AccuAir install, I've got the compressor and tank mounted were I want it. No pictures, as I need to pick up some bolts and fittiings tomorrow to get it fully mounted. I did snap these pictures though and I'm totally digging the houndstooth, :metal::metal::metal:. r/ |
Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
Looking 4.0
|
Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
Those really do look great....the houndstooth really works with the red and white....All black would have been nice too but not as nice as that ;)

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
Rob, my question is how much patience do you have? Reason I ask is because one project is a pain and from what I see you three of them going at the same time even though the 68 is driveable?
You are a better man than me I deal with one at a time and I go nuts sometimes..:lol: I am more into SWB but looking at your suburban, I tell you yours looks REALLY good!!!!:metal: |
Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
That burb is looking great! Man you are so close to being done it's hard to believe. You need to get out there and finish it up Dude!
|
Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
Nice Burb Rob!
|
Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
Rob, when you get as fair as making upper trim, make sure to take some pics for me. I am wondering how hard it will be to make the upper trim for the 3rd door. Trevor

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

I've got the compressor and tank mounted, but I still need a couple of more fittings to finish that part up. I'm installing a schrader valve so I can fill the tank if my compressor ever quits. I'm also going to add a fitting to allow me to attach an air hose. I'm going to figure out where the manifold block goes next.. Here's a few pictures of the progress. |
Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
I like the idea of putting in a schrader valve incase the pump stops working. You could carry one of those small air compressors that plug into the cig lighter and fill it up. You would be good to go. I also like the air hose fitting idea too.
Great work Rob! |

I finally have the compressor and air tank permanently mounted and all connections sealed. Next will be the manifold and the "brain". I hoped to have more done today, but I got sidetracked by having to replace a pool pump motor, :(. Anyway, here are a few pictures of the tank/compressor. I also threw the roof rack on to verify fitment. I'm going to send the stanchions to get them rechromed. They are really nice for originals, but with the burb aired out, you'll be staring right at them and I want them to look nice. |
Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
Rack looks great on there. Perfect placement too ;)
Is that a moisture trap or descant cartridge? If it's a conventional moisture trap it will only be effective when placed at a location where the air has cooled. Definitely not right off the compressor. In a home/shop system a min of 20' is standard. ...or maybe it's just a filter? :o |
Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
That's looking real nice Rob....I'm assuming you'll wrap those exposed wires up for protection?!?!:D....But you know what happens whne we ass-u-me?!?!:lol:

Looking good!
Can you get to those air valves with the bumper on? http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1265259884 |
Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
I guess you can get to them.
Looks like it here. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1265259884 I just wonder if you can get under there with it aired out and the bumber on. I guess you could jack it up if you had too. |

Oh yeah! Beautiful!!! Glad to see you can mount them forward like that. What's your solution for securing the ebrake cables to the PB arms?
