seat mounts are awesome! the question is will it support the weight? or is the back seat more for show?

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

thats just plain COOL !!

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

Any updates?

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

The seat mounts look really cool. Did you have to do any beefing up behind the mount holes? More info....pics:)

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

Spent my morning reading thru this entire thread and its amazing. Your work is top shelf in my opinion. Keep it up!

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

hi do u have the wiring schematics for the fans? i have aset like this going into my truck. and also wiring for the gauges? thx

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

Earth to Rob, Earth to Rob?!?!?...any progress buddy???....BTW...finally got me a burb too:D

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

I plan on leaving them like this.


:D

They are super strong! The top and bottom both connect to the main body cross structure. I'll take more pictures when I mount them permanently!

Thanks! They are actually pretty simple too.

Pictures below!



Thanks!

All I have is the instructions that came with the fans. Did you not get any? The gauges were wired by boardmember Putter, but they correspond to the directions in the Painless wiring book.

Sorry Geoff! I thought I was about to start making some progress and then things kept coming up. So I told myself that I wasn't going to post again until I had some pictures worth posting, so here you go.

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

looking great !!

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

:agree: very nice!!!

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

So... on the trim, are you going with longbed Cheyenne trim? I am wanting to change mine.

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

Rob - as always steller work, thanks for keeping everyone updated

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

where did you find that super charger and how much was it?

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

Thanks!

Thanks!

Yes. Mar-K now has the Cheyenne upper pieces to fit suburbans.

Thanks!

I bought it used (low miles). I paid $3500 for the complete setup. Look around some of the LS forums, I'm sure you can find some deals.

Good to see progress on the Burb. I can't wait to see more. This is going to be one sick ride.

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

Thanks 69CST, I've got my eye on your project too. I finally have both seat brackets welded up. Just need to sand blast and paint them. Now I can send my seats off to be re-upholstered, :metal:. This "little" shed project is going to start consuming some of my time, but when it's done I'll have more room to play, :lol:.

Here's some pics:

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

Ron, are you in the same house? How big of a "little" shed is that going to be? The burb is looking great, shouldn't be long and you will be able to take the whole family out in it

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

Same house. 24' x 28'. I'm nibbling away at it. The "shed" will allow me to get stuff out of the way so I have room to work.

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

It does help, but you'll soon overrun the "little shed" too.

Don't bother to ask how I know :rolleyes:

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

Your rubbing off on me man. I ordered my garage and it's here. Just need some concrete. Lol.

Seats are going to look killer.

Looking good. I am planning to move where there is some land if/when the housing market improves enough for me to recoup some of my remodeling upgrades....

I want a pole barn or large steel building (or both :haha:)

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

I love the buckets Rob. That building is gonna be nice. I'm hoping to break ground this year on mine too. You don't have to worry about hail like we do here though do you? I have had every car/truck in my fleet damaged by hail except the wife's new car. You can't have enough room to stable the Chevys;)

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

I know what you mean, :lol:.

I bet you can't wait.....:metal:

I would go bigger if I had the room...;)

We get hail occasionally, but not often. The extra space will give me some breathing room.

Well, the seat brackets are done so I thought I would bolt everything together one last time before I send the seats out for new covers. I'm pretty happy with the way everything came out. Hard to believe it has taken me over a year to get these done, :uhmk:. Hopefully this will be the last bit of fabrication that I have to do and now I can just concentrate on putting everything back together, :metal:. Here's a few pics...

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

Those look awesome!

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

Great looking truck, I love the classic paint scheme and the modern "everthing else".

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

The final stretch- hopefully this motivates you- would love to see this thing 'done'

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

Thanks JB! Hopefully you'll be able to get back on your burb soon....

Thanks! It's coming together pretty much like I envisioned, I just need to keep pushing.....

Yeah a small step, but it was nice to be able to sit in the seats. Would love to be able to fire the engine up in the next month or two.....

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

Those front seats already look nice! Is that the pattern you are going with? I am thinking about going that route with my blazer

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

Is there four cylinders in front of the spindles? Looks like engine is forward a lot.

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

Same seats and pattern. I dropped them off at my upholstery guy on Sunday.

The #3 and #4 cylinders are about centerline of the front axle. ECE motor mounts place the engine more forward than most of the aftermarket mounts. I believe they do this so you can use the factory truck a/c without having to cut the frame.

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

Looking good Rob. How is your son's truck coming along.

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

Looks good Rob!

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

Thanks. I've been buying a few parts here and there. I am in the process of building a shop in the back yard so we can have more room to work on it.

Thanks! Step by step....:lol:

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

That seat set up is friggin awesome and a mod I would definately do if it was in the budget.

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

Wow this is an awesome build. I have read this post a couple time already. I am currently doing an ls conversion also in my69 c/10. Currently using ece mounts, I was just wondering on post 475 what year exactly is that ctsv pan you are using and what dip stick tube assembly since you are using the dt headers. Are there any differences in the ctsv pan based on year

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

Thanks!

Thanks. I believe it is an 07 oil pan. I'm using a Lokar dipstick made for the truck LS motor. You'll have to check their website for the part number.

Thanks can you elaborate more on how you connected the trans cooler line to the radiator. It looks like you used the factory lines that came on the motor/ trans. Fittings adapters etc.

Beautiful work! Those seats look awesome, I really like the way you setup the second row. The red/white combo is perfect.
