Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
I am working on a 69 Chevy P/U and was needing to know the length of the driver door on your Suburban. If you can possibly respond with the dimensions i would greatly appreciate it. I called a few places like brothers trucks but they say they do not have that info. Also, I know the frame around the window is different from that of a P/U door. What is the angle between the horizontal line where the glass begins and the vertical line where the frame begins(part of frame that is closest to the b pillar). Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot! You are certainly more help then some of the customer service people at some parts places. Where would you recommend getting some used Burb door frames? Thanks again!

The parts board on this forum is a great place to find just about anything chevy truck related. You do have to subscribe to post a WTB but trust me that it's well worth it. Otherwise there's always craigslist, eBay, an the good ol classifieds.

I have decided that i am going to make the suburban frame so can get practice out of it as well as save a little bit of money. The only thing that holds me from doing so are a few measurements. Is it possible if I get these measurements from you? I have attached a file hopefully it loads since im new to this site. A= measurement of top of door frame corner to corner. B= measurement inside edge of frame basically inside corner to inside corner. C= measure of the angle between the two parts. If you can reply with this info it would be greatly appreciated. Kinda sucks there are no burbs that i know nearby to get these measurements.

your build is OFF THE HOOK!!! I do prototype US NAVAL aircraft modifications for a living, englishwheels and nearly every Fabrication process in the book, to include Kevlar, carbonfiber, fiberglass, foam,wood,ferrous,non-ferrous, precious and non-precious metals, acrylics, plastics etc, ect, your build is the most ambitious, creative, and interesting build i've seen to date on this forum. AWSOME is an understatement!! IMHO V/r Phipp13

Awsome build FF!
Just got done reading the last 34 pages...Whewww! (Read the first 12 last night). Never been much of a fan of Subs but Tubby is sweet! And your fab skills are unbelievable! Questions; What size wire ya use in the mig? How long do ya wait from one spot weld to the next? (when you're finish welding the panel) |

I'll have to get a spool of .023 next time I try body panels! That's what I used when I first got my mig and then switched to .030 for the heavier stuff that I work with most of the time. Never give it a thought until I seen your spots. They look alot cleaner, (less grinding!) than mine did when I put cab corners on my 93. Any updates on the Sunbeam? Unique little car! LOL Time frame for more on Tubby maybe?? Hahaha |
