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

Thanks.... I actually used the th400 mount it fit perfect and then I didnt have to change the crossmember. Now im just fighting the fuel lines etc... then the wiring nightmare begins. I need a battery relocation box to put the battery on the drivers side any body found a good one?:chevy:

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

Has anyone had any problems getting parts from C.P.P. ? I have been waiting almost a month for my spindles and booster. They just told me another 2-weeks. Is there a better supplier that I can get 8-lug disc spindles etc... from?

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

Someone makes a reproduction auxillary battery box, but I can't remember who it is. Sometimes you can find them on the board for sale.

No clue.

****

I finally have it back on all 4's. I have the CPP 13" disc brakes and spindles mounted. All I have left to do is connect the front brake lines and hook up the master cylinder. I also have the air bag stuff is reconnected. All I have left to do is mount all the level sensors and then I should be able to give the AccuAir system a test run. Here's a few pictures. There not the greatest. As soon as the weather clears up I'll roll it out of the garage and take some better ones.

boy that thing is sexxxy

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

The burb looks great. You should be cruisin in it again this summer. Still can't get over the change from the green machine I used to see at Whiting. May have missed it but did you get your rear wheels straightened out?

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

Thanks!

Your welcome!

Thanks Jason.

I hope your right, at least thats the plan. Yeah big change but my daughter still calls it the "booger", :lol:. I'm waiting on the new wheels....

Well after looking at this site, http://www.streettrucksmag.com/tech/...air-management, I think I've about got the AccuAir level sensor mounting figured out.

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

One of my custom parts showed up today. Thanks WayneMFG! All I need now is the side trim pieces and the SuperBurb will have all of it's jewelry!

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

awesome..... looks like you have some aluminum polishing to do!

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

That is awesome! Are you going to polish and do any painting on it?

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

WOW! That is a nice piece of aluminum

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

yep I agree! Awesome!
My guess is to add black paint based on page 28 post 676

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

we are only on page 21 on my screen? lol..... but coming along great

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

That is gonna look nice on the Burb.

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

You may just be my hero..... :D

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

Rob, that is slick! Can't wait to see some updated pics of it on the Burb.

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

Nice work Rob! Can't wait to see it in person. Cruisin the coast???

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

I apologize for being slow in my updates. I've actually got some stuff accomplished.....:D.

Looks like I'm going to have to invest in some nice polishing tools...

Thanks. That's correct!

Thanks, it's quite heavy. I'm going to have to come up with some strong automotive adhesive to attach it.

;)

Thanks! I think it depends on how you have your personal settings that determines the number of posts on each page.

Thanks!

Compliments will get you everywhere, :D.

Thanks Nate. This piece and the side trim will probably be the last thing I put on.

Thanks. I was shooting for the Power Tour, but I've been busy job hunting so I may have to drive the 68 on the Tour and take the Burb to CTC.

OK, for the updates.

1. Fuel filler and vent connected.
2. New brakes installed (still need to connect the front brake lines)
3. All air ride installed including the level sensors (minor wiring left)*
4. Power steering lines connected.

* The only way I can describe the AccuAir system is..... FREAKIN AWESOME! :metal: There may be equivalent systems out there, but I doubt you will find any that are better.

What's next?

1. Wire the motor
2. Wire everything else
3. Mount radiator and fans
4. Mount a/c condensor and run lines
5. Mount supercharger intercooler
6. Glass ordered and should be installed next week.
7. Install gauges
8. Install tilt column
9. Make brackets for rear buckets (and then have them reupholstered)
10...................

Enough of that. Here are some pictures, :D.

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

Rob, my friend this burb is kick :metal:

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

Looks great Rob!!!....Not sure if you said this earlier but was there any reason why you chose to put a 5.3L engine in?? I keep telling my Dad that I want to do a burb with a 5.3L, but he keeps saying that I should go with a 6.0L because the burbs are heavier?!?!

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

Thanks Al.

Geoff, at the time I bought the motor the 5.3's were about $1000 cheaper than the 6.0s. I've made up for the HP difference with the supercharger, :D. Plus, my wife's 03 Suburban has a 5.3 and and weighs about 1500 pounds more. I have been very impressed with the way it performs.

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

Thank you sir....more ammunition to prove Dad wrong!!!:lol:

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

I forgot to add that they MPG on the 6.0's (12-14) are really low as compared to the 5.3's (17-20). At least that's what I have been told. Either way you go, they both are great motors that are far superior to the older stuff (JMHO, :lol:).

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

rob , that thing is looking better with every post ! can't wait to see it finished !



mike

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

looking gooooood
I have a 6.0 I thought about 5.3

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

rob that thing looks awesome! i love when these trucks have the oe look with a hint of the visual modern features and all of the internal modern features!

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

Thanks Mike. Do you plan on doing the Power Tour this year?

Thanks. Like I said, you can't go wrong with any of the LS motors.

Thanks! I hope my vision for the truck continues to come together.

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

Lookin good man can't wait to be at that stage on mine

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

Thanks! You're almost there and I'm looking forward to seeing it in person, :).

I ordered my Entropy radiator setup today and my Speartech harness. The motor and tranny should be making some serious progress in the next couple of weeks....:D.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Wow! Amazing!

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Great progress! I like the machined tailgate trim piece. That looks really good! Maybe you already said, but are you polishing, anodizing, or painting it? Either way it looks really cool! I assume it cost some bucks to fab that puppy. I know how expensive it is to manufacture in America. ;):ito:

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

man i hope you land that Tyson job i sure want to see your rigs

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Rob - way too many details to take in all at once.

I went back and reviewed the whole thread yesterday and didn't get a chance to post before I had to get back to work.

Fantastic job on this project!

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Thanks Newtz.

I'm going to polish it and then paint the inside black to match the trim. The price was not bad at all. Very close to the cost of buying an aftermarket replacement....Give them a call, I'm sure they will take care of you also.

That makes 2 of us, :D.

Thanks! Hard to believe this thread is almost 5 years old! The 2 years in NM slowed me down somewhat, but I'm trying to make up for lost time, :).

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

My dream is coming true! In your garage...:lol: Looking really really good, I hope you take it to lots of shows when you're done so I might get a chance to see it. Or how about you just sell it to me and I'll convince mama she needs a blown superburb instead of her Tahoe!

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Thanks for the props! I'm currently interviewing with Tyson, so you might get to see it sooner than you think....:D. Tell her it's got seat warmers for those cold NW Arkansas mornings, :metal:.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Leevon, he is trying to get a job at Tysons in Springdale....so we might get to see his rigs

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

wow we posted that at the same time

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Some more parts showed up yesterday....:).
