Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Looks good Protrash.
I really like those big smooth wheels. Burbans seem to have so much more attitude with the drop in altitude. I know what you mean about as low as you can go. The only way I can get mine any lower would be cutting the floor for a notch. Can't bring myself to do that. Burbs Rule! Dave |

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Thanx very much everyone; glad you like it and hope it inspires someone to go turn a couple wrenches. I look at the stuff on this message board and it always gets me motivated. Cool fabrication, engine builds,and just cleaning up a stocker is always nice.
Dino; I will be going to Goodguys as a spectator and not driving anything. I'll look you up if you're there. Dave; thanx buddy, havent seen you on here in awhile....ever get your interior fixed up? John(Chief); thanx dude...still slow but Im getting the parts together and trying to figure out how a clean install would go. gulfcoast66; thanx for the compliments. |

Digging this out of the graveyard.......we all know the sickness;). I've been collecting ideas and parts (Craigslist is your friend) and waited 'til this weekend to do a makeover on the 'burb. I liked the truck but it was not exactly what I was shooting for, so I decided to make some changes.
First up, my bags leaked. There were to many fittings due to the 'manifold' I made for the valves. I scored a new tank and will hang the valve assemblies off the tank. It eliminates numerous fittings. I will also be adding gauges to the front 2 bags. Secondly I'm changing the look of the truck.......I'm not ready for white walls, but I'm going back somewhere into the late 70's and early 80's for a different look. After I pulled out some pieces of the suspension I had to bolt on my new rolling stock and check it out. It is SUPER low.....:metal::metal:. I'm sporting 295/50/15's in the rear and 265/50/15's in the front, mounted on some pick-up Rallys. The truck is so low that a jack is still stuck under the frame, but I was too tired to get it out:lol:. I'll be updating as I go this weekend....more to come. I just had to show a hint of the new look. |

I do have a small update.....Sunday I mostly fixed up some of the previous work and did a bunch of head scratching. Fitting those tires is a *****. I trimmed my fender lips some more and decided to adjust the panhard. I moved it 5/16th's toward the passenger side. I think its a little too far and I may have to split the difference and bring it back some. NOTE...measure the side to side at the same hite to compare...I think this threw me a little off, oh well. I have the adjustable panhard from CPP, by the way.
I did get the tank in its new home and partially plumbed. I like it alot. It tucks up nicely and looks clean. I may re-route the compressor leads up over the way I had them before. I needed 45* fittings to do it and I didnt have them.....check the pics, I have everything else.:lol: Dino warned me about this....in the pic of the valves and various fittings, the fittings are about $250 worth. I got the two front sets of valves mounted but no pic of that. They are the middle two rows on the bench. I need to add my 3/8's fittings to the other set as I am stepping down a size in the rear bags. Keeping the 1/2'' to the front but adding a gauge for the front two corners. Here are the pics.......I'll get some more soon.:uhmk: |
