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

There's so many choices, it's to hard to decide! I should know soon....;).

I had the hose made at Napa. It uses the same ends as the factory 67-72 hose and a Weatherhead fitting (#1446: 3/8" is 5/8 18 - 16x1.5) to adapt to the pump.

Thanks Al.

Which ones did you get? You know we want to see pictures, and we KNOW you have opened them and probably mounted them on the suburban... so give 'em up already!!!!

Man, you LOVE doing this to us...just like when you took the crewcab for paint.....evil man, just evil ;) :chevy:

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

After all the time and money you've put into the burb, you're just going to slap some white spoke wagon wheels on it? :lol:

We need some more info... don't leave us hangin'!

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

Happy bday to your wife Rob....(I'm not even gonna ask about the wheels, because I don't care....really, I have no interest in those stupid wheels, I mean I don't even wanna see just one of them....really, I'm not sayin I'm just sayin') :haha:

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

Nicest burb I have ever seen. Cant wait to see what wheels you chose. I'm guessing maybe the polished Coys. :D

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

Now, that's just wrong....tease us here then post in the CPP thread ;)

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

I knew I wasn't the only one who saw that too.:lol:

Update your build thread man!!!

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

:)

You know it!

:devil:

:lol:

Keeps you on your toes, ;)

You know, white spokes were the thing back in the day....:smoke:

Thanks! I got the fittings and hose at NAPA. I used a weatherhead adapter, 16mm male 5/8 inverted flare.

:devil:

:lol:

;)

Dang it! You caught me...

Done!

OK, I'll stop be an AW... I went the safe route, 20 X 10's, 295 40s BFG. 20 x 8.5 245 40s BFG (no issues with the rotor)

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

That's pure sweetness.:phat:

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

Good choice Rob! Where's the zoomed out shot?

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

Good choice.
What backspace on the 20x10's?
We still need more pics,...

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

OK, that sucks. I ordered my Grey Coy's on Jan. 4th and haven't seen them yet. This past Saturday you posted that you were still undecided on wheels and you get them in on Thursday?!:confused::whine::devil::tms::banghead::censored::m2::cuss::m6:

By the way they look perfect on your burb.

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

Thanks Shannon.

I've still got the front end tore apart redoing the brakes and the bags. PLUS, Coys sent me the wrong backspacing on the rear wheels. I told them that I needed a 5" backspacing and they sent me 5.5", which would be pefect if I had a 71/72 rearend and not the narrower one....:(. I suppose I could swap the rearend with my 68 (it's got the wider one), but I really don't want to go through the hassle. So, now I'm wating to see if they can find the correct backspacing to fix the problem.....:waah:. On a good note, supposedly they fixed the problem with the front wheels as far as the dust cover goes. Either that or the CPP hub and rotor makes a difference....

See above....

It really caught me by suprise also. I ordered them on the 9th and got a call from the UPS guy yesterday saying he had them for delivery. To bad the backspacing on the rear is wrong, :(.

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

:agree: I ran them on my truck for about 10 years before I switched to the vette style Ralleys.

Very sharp!

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

There it is. :metal: Those are probably my favorite style of wheels. When will you give us a full shot of the Burb with the wheels?

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

Coys seems to take it upon themselves ,to send out whichever wheels they want to. I have heard of this happing before,... and hate it.
Why would a company do that?

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

I think I'm going to call on Monday and make sure they know which backspacing I want. Hopefully, I can avoid that problem.

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

I don't know keith, I don't quite get that either, maybe he was hoping that I would just run spacers. When I spoke to them the first time they said a 5.5" BS should fit. I told him I didn't think so and that I wanted to re-measure everything (for the 10th time:rolleyes:) before ordering. So I after veryifying my measurements, I called them back and told them that I did indeed need a 5" instead of a 5.5" BS and even explained the differences in the pre 71 rearends. Fast forward to yesterday, as soon as I unpackaged them I knew they were wrong, but I put them on the hub just to see. Sure enough they rubbed on the inside. So I call them up and tell them the mistake. He then tells me that he had 5.5 on the paperwork and I said I didn't matter what the paperwork said, I know what I told him. He said he would have to find that backspacing because he doesn't have anymore on the shelf. The clincher was when he told me that they NEVER had a problem with running 5.5" BS on this year model of truck. Maybe it's the difference of the burb and the truck, I don't know. I do know that I'm not running spacers....

I agree and I would also send them an email with your exact specifications, just in case there is an issue after they arrive.

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

Awsome. Just like everything else you do.

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

That's why you got, what you got.
The sad part is,... these wheels are the exact same, except they mill an extra 1/2" off the center hub, when they make the 5.5" backspace wheels.

It's not like the 5" backspace wheels have 1/2" more dish on the front side, because they don't.
They cast them all as 5" backspace, and then mill the extra thick hub for the 5.5" BS orders.
Pure BS (not backspace) in my opinion.
What do you do now?
Break down the tires and ship the wheels back?
I would make them send a UPS "pick ticket" and send you out another set, with tires.

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

That's what I thought when I talked to him. He was just trying to make the sell and hoping they would fit or I would do spacers. If they don't send me 2 correct wheels and tires, I will return all 4 and go elsewhere for something else... If the pad is the only difference, it seems like the wheel studs would be to short on the unmilled 5" BS...???

I believe the lugnut bore on the front side is deeper.

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

Those wheels are SWEEEET! Just what talking about! Snap your fingers and Bam! there they are!

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

Lookin' good Rob!

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

Rob those big red binders looks awesome behind those wheels!

Does anyone know what trans mount fits when doing the swap from a th400 to the 4l60e I would appreciate any info on the swap or pics . This site is great I have almost all my questions answered for my 5.3 4l60e swap here.:chevy:

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

sweet. Hope you get the wheels taken care of.

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

[quote=lolife99;3812362]Makes sense.

Something like that, :lol:.

Thanks Nate!

Thanks! I think they go well with the rest of the truck.

Are you talking about the rubber mount or the tranny crossmember?

Thanks. We're working on it....

Well, I've about got the Accuair setup mounted and the brakes are almost done. I should have some pictures by this evening.....

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

The first few pictures show how I brought the air through the front crossmember to the front bags. I used two 90 degree fittings and a bulkhead fitting to make it all happen. It's a good thing I had to change the fittings to 3/8" because the way I had it set up with 1/4" lines wasn't going to work. That's what happens when you get impatient....:waah:. The second set of pictures show the bracket I made to hold the Accuair "brain" and manifold. It's not "Rockcrwln-esque" but it's functional, :D.

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

Pictures of the manifold and brain mounted....
