more work less computer :lol: I'm stalking I know okay get back to work I'll leave ya alone

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

lol. its going back into storage again tomorrow morning as i have to do some running around and work on my other truck before i go back to work on saturday... then when i get back next home time i will do some more work on it as well.

oh! and i hooked up my air horn as well. need to either change the valve with one that can handle 200 psi or regulate it down for just the horn because the valve wont open with the 200 psi :lol:

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

She's looking awesome! Nicely done! How hard was it swapping out the trailing arm cross member with the body still on the frame? I'll be tackling this also in the next few weeks, and I guess I'm more curious what worked best for you in removing the top rivets. Any tricks or tips you can throw my way?

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

thanks. and well, the easiest thing to do and what we did. was we basically just cut out the old one to get to the rivets on top... only thing wrong with this set up is it hits the floor so you are going to need to do some massaging of the floor area above it (can be seen in 1st and 2nd pic) we just used a trans jack to push up the floor to get it in their :lol: i will eventually do something for more clearance, if new body bushings wont fix the touching issue of it hitting the floor

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

Good call on the body bushings. Mine are definitely original and TOAST. I have the Energy Suspension ones here and ready to go, so I too will be curious if this eliminates the clearance issue or not. Thanks, as always, for the help!!!

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

By the way, I'm sure you've probably already tightened it already, but in case you haven't, heads-up on the trailing arm cross member bolt still hanging down in your first pic. Only saying since I've overlooked many bolts in years past, and since this one is in storage, didn't want to take the chance of you forgetting about it when you get started back on her. ;)

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

haha thanks, and yes ALL bolts/nuts were tightened ;)

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

Bought some more small parts for the burb yesterday.... another tach (in dash mount), a lokar auto column shift linkage, a dimmer switch hippie foot pedal to match my gas pedal, and some 3" to 2.5" tapered exhaust reducers for when i redo the exhaust on it and my other truck
