Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

thanks man

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

haha thanks bro. still a whole lot more work ahead of myself. my skills are not that great especially in the welding department, thats why i did not weld the notch my self but did help with the install of it lol. the a arms on the other hand i am doing myself , the welds are not perfect as i am using an arc welder and also not the greatest welder, but they should hold as it is welded inside and out, front and back top and bottom lol..

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

I need to find some A arms to rebuild and notch the bottom out like that for my coil springs! Lookin' good man, lookin good. Hey as long as your welds hold, I guess thats all that matter!

Were ya able to score the disc brake front crossmember?

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

it already had them on it when i bought it from my friend, he is the one that did the disc swap (complete crossmember disc to disc). but i added the power brakes to it.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

sorry no pics. but the other lower a arm is cut and welded up, didnt shorten them though. still need to re sand blast them then i can put the cross shafts and stuff back in and paint them. then get some bags and install them as well lol.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

eventually it will have a/c, but dont know how far down the road that will be. want to run a vintage a/c style setup. so i figured get that and add it to the truck so it will already be their when i am ready

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

that sounds like a smart decision!

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

thats what i was thinking lol.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

no pics but i picked up another set of bags and some fittings to run them shraders, some 2600 doms. will be installing those in the back and removing the dual 3/4 port 4 ply 2600 contis and putting them in the front. also picked up a few more tools to use when working on the truck.

edit: on that dash i will be cutting the center section out and plating it so its smooth then i will cut a new hole in it lower down for the in dash i plan to run. might add a few other things to as well just not sure what yet.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

ordered a double adjustable panhard bar today from porterbuilt :devil:. i already cant wait for it :lol::metal:

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

nice..

make sure you get the longest one they sell.i got the short one by mistake. instead of sending it back, i sectioned the metal and welded a solid rod in the middle to make it reach...sure hope my welds hold lol

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

thanks, and i'm pretty stoked to have my first piece from the porterbuilt line coming and will hopfully be buying more from him down the road. the one that i ordered from him is the same one that comes in his stage 2 drop kit, it mounts just like the cpp double adjustable track bar.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

here is another pic of the burb as it sits right now, just in the garage.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

nice! i could have sent ya the t's i used when i ran temporary schraders...they are 1/2" t's with the schrader in the middle.

also, what shock ya plan on goin with? i bought some 50's chrysler shocks and they bolt right up...just installed them last night. i havent put the wheels back on yet to check fully inflated and fully deflated to see if they bottom out, but they sure are a cheap alternative.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

haha oh well lol. as far as shocks not sure yet, i have a set of stock replacements from autozone that i will probably run in the mean time if they work, but if not, then i will have to find something else to use. also got a pic of the ones you used and where did you get them???

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

oh, well since you have the relocation kits im pretty sure your stock shocks should work. the ones i bought are Monroe pn#5752, got them at O'reilly for $22.99 each. heres a pic..

http://images.oreillyauto.com/parts/img/mon/5752.jpg

the only thing i had to do was trim the bushing a little to make it fit in between the mount..but i believe my mounts are after market (the nut for the bolt would hit the arm next to the mount as it got tighter)

ill snap a pic tomorrow when i get off work

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

haha for sure thanks bro.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

Not tryin to jack your thread, but "Rockstars" look pretty damn good on laid out black Suburbans!

In your sig - "...and black 20" wheels and tires (20" KMC Rockstars eventually)"

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

haha no problem, that is a pretty sweet burb minus the green flames, ugly tail lights, and newer front end though.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

man that does look good!

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

Nice build!!

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

thanks, still a long way to go though

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread

i havent checked it fully compressed yet since im working on painting the stock wheels, but when im done and get them back on and back on the ground ill snap a pic a see what it looks like compressed

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

ok sweet thanks. how much did those run and where did you get them at???

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

they were about 23 bucks a piece at o'reilly, but i believe any parts store should carry them for about them price

i was gonna ask you, are you running/plan on running a front sway bar?

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

at the moment i am running a sway bar, but plan on removing it after i put the bags in. that and the bags will all be independent from each other and have individual valves, gonna run at least 8 valves total. so i will not have any need for it, that and i want to be able to hit s/s, so thats also another reason why i will be removing it.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

did some modification work on my new das that will end up in the burb. still need to cut the radio hole and do a few other things. might get it blasted but not sure on that yet.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

wow!

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

haha yup lol, used an old cut up street sign that i have had. it was thicker metal, but that will work out better for me and the stereo. i also might end up putting in a newer tilt column with key in column, as they are probably alot cheaper and easier to find. but not to new as i dont think i want lights and wipers on the column. but we will see.
