Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
I was wondering when the local pizza parlor was going to call and demand that protrash return their baking pans.

I'm still working on cleaning up the airride. I was planning on slamming this out, but as it usually goes I come up with some ideas and have to see them thru. I work with all types of electrical equipment at work and it gave me a cool idea to help make this system nicer.
The first pic is a couple electrical items. There is a buss and 2 ground bars. You can get this stuff at Home Depot. The ground bars are Square D. I mounted all this underneath the truck so I can neatly route my switch legs to the valves. It also allows me to take it apart with out messing with all the 'control' side of the system. The other pics are the items mounted and the switches terminated on the buss. I still have to put in my other 2 valve assemblies and then ground out the valves in the bars on the side of the frame. I wouldn't use this stuff on a vehicle driven daily or in crappy weather....but this truck isnt. Check it!!!:metal: |

Here's a pic of the valves wired up....ready to go as soon as I plumb the rear bags and button some stuff down. The junction block and ground bars worked really well. You can see the ground bar on the drivers side rail with the valve grounds lugged in the top. I used the mount bolt to ground the tailights and the air compressor; ditto for the other side.;) |
Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Right on Jeff!

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
the wiring looks good. But one thing I would change if you can is the pressure switch from the bottom of the tanks to the top if you can. you just dont want any water in the tank to mess it up. Maybe get a bung and weld it to the tank so you can move it. Do you have a draincock?

If I mounted the tank with that port on top there was not enough clearance for the switch. I'm not welding on it 'cuz its aluminum. |
Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
maybe you could get someone to do it for you. It would be well worth it in the long run, the bungs dont cost much, and I'm sure getting it welded would only be like $20-30.
I thought we wouldn't ever get water in ours in Iraq either but we always had to drain the tanks because of it. I was just commenting because I saw a thread from Viar stating that, and the tank needs to be tilted towards the draincock. |
Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
It bugs me that you brought this up:lol:.....I was laying under there thinking about this stuff and should have done it. I think I will probably move it to the side. The tank has 4 ports on the ends and I used the ones that lined up for the compressors the best. I will pick whatever side looks like it will work with the wiring and put it there. I appreciate the heads up....:flag:

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Just trying to give some meds for the headach you would have later down the road. It's amazing how much we learn every day on these sites.

Small update: moved the pressure switch to the side of the tank and it was a breeze. No pics, but now ruffrida can sleep at nite;).
Worked on another creation for my truck as the juices are flowing now. I have an air gauge to add and a trans temp gauge that I havent installed. I thought I mite as well get both of them in there right now. Started with some exhaust reducers to fit the gauges and a piece of angle iron I found somewhere. Got all the pieces roughed out and will tack them together at a later date. I will match them to the tach with some chrome paint, which I just saw my buddy use and couldnt tell where it was. Here are the pics..... |
Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
:cool:
NICE work Man!!! :metal: |
Re: 1964 Suburban Pics

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics

Got a present the other nite........new bags for the rear of the 'burb. Got re8's and necked them down to 3/8's line. I cant wait to see how much difference there is in ride and performance.
Friday nite went well.....bags installed and lines run. The truck is complete and driveable again:metal:......I will tear it apart when I finish my gauge mount and add the air gauge. Here are some pics: First, a comparison just for fun....left to right. Slam air rs72(180psi), re7(200psi), and the new re8's @ 200psi. I will keep the re7 for a spare. I'm planning on driving this thing this winter. The rest are pics of the bags going together and being mounted. Fairly self-explanatory.....on to the next project soon. |
Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Right on Jeff!!!
now get that thing out in the sun light and get us some pics!! :sumo: ;) |
Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
lookin goog Jeff.
|
Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Why not the extreme 600 psi jobbers ?? :lol:
Cool man...good job. Although, the punched angle for the guages ?? Thats the stuff I use to hang garage doors with...;) |
Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Awesome progress on the Burb!
Did you use the upper bag spacer so you didn't have to drill the frame? Sorry if I missed a previous post... |

When I originally did the bags I didnt know how they went together so I used them. I now know that people drill for the bag....cant say it looks fun to drill:lol:!! My axle goes down to the frame anyway. |
