Thinkin about ordering braided front and rear lines from classic tube but they'll have to put together a hybrid kit.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
 

What about factory Imp SS, Caddilac or f-body flex lines (78~81 trans-am)?

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
 

I gave been following your build for some time, so of course, i must say absolutely AWESOME work.

and, a side note.

Primus still rocks, Les Claypool is a bass God, and there are just too many puppies.

I need to research it more. I just figured if I'm gonna buy flex lines I might as well go big and get SS braided for all four corners:ito:

Thanks ...and I still believe in Captain Crunch :mm: :metal:

Hey frizzle do you have the lokar th400 kickdown mounted on the engine in the burb and if you do could you shoot a few pics of the hook up and mounting to the carb..

OOOOPPPPPPPSSSSSS!!!!!! I think I measured wrong!!!!!

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
 

Oh well, I guess I'll have to stick to the original plans, :D.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I'll see if I have some or I'll take some.

Found these pictures of factory rubber lines.....

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
 

Well, both rear calipers are on, but I'm still waiting for one ebrake cable...

I re-configured my rear shocks to allow full rear travel without shock limitations. More detail on that here.

Here's the result:

Looks great! Do you have any pictures of the flex lines you used?

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
 

cool, just seeing what's going on

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
 

No flex lines yet. I'm going to install the disc/disc prop valve bleed the brakes and drive it to be sure there are no other issue to be resolved first. Also, to be honest, I want to see how much movement we're talking about here. I'm sure the flex lines are ultimately the right thing to do, but I need to be fully convinced ;)

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
 

Thanks guys. Slowed down over the holidays there. The thread even dropped to the second page at one point :eek: But I'm back on track now :ito:

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
 

Hey FF, Whats going on man? Did you have a good Christmas?

Shoot me a PM of your address. Got something to send you!

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
 

Love the build. I was wondering what you were going to do next. You could have 12'' of snow and 28 degrees as your highest temp for two weeks!:lol:I just wanted to give you some motivation because your tahoe has been one of mine. Keep up the good work.:chevy:

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
 

Well, It's been raining non-stop here and at the moment the Tahoe does not have a dry home :( But I'm still getting out there :) The next few items ( not necessarily in order) are:

• Rear Tubs
• Re-do Exhaust
• 68 clip with modded inner fenders
• Rear Cargo Area floor (wood planks/chrome strips)
• Truck taillights
• Body/Paint

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
 

I love the look of this ride,major props to you for an original concept.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
 

I vote for the tail lights next, weather permitting. I can't wait to see that mod.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
 

Subscribed..... :metal:

I might have missed it, but what sort of latching mechanism will you be using for the rear tailgate now? It seems a shame to cut a hole for a center-mounted one now that you've got that area so nice and smooth... perhaps a set of side-mounted ones? Will you use the stock release button somehow or go with a solenoid or cable actuated dealio???


Awe-inspiring build.... I'm getting impure thoughts about my own '72 Burb now.


:chevy:

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
 

Ya, me too. It could be shifted up the list ;)
The stock latches and button work and will stay. The gate is in nearly the same position/angle when it latches as it was before. I don't see any reason to change it.

That little guy looks SWEET laid out..

If your going to the board meet this year, please bring it!
