Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

What's up kev!! I got the pics I'll post up when the kids go to sleep.
I did the PB hinges, go them in today as a matter of fact.
I pulled the rear DM out this weekend getting ready for a Scott's super slam rear kit. I swear I'm going to stop cutting this beast up and work on getting it back on the road. I just want to drive it.

I've got the PB parts for sale on te parts forum if anyone is interested in them.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

Wow, what a nice project. I like all those after-market pieces from the hotrod-shop. A lot of people who bag their suburban. It looks awesome.
Nice to see your progress.

Oh no it's that snowball that's rolling out of my garage! Lol
I'll pull it out, clean it, weld on my new Scott's rear slam kit and bolt it back in. I hope to have it back in in two weeks. I need someone to keep me accountable..... So that's up to you guys. Lol

I will keep you accountable! believe that!!!!!

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

and still no pix:(

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

Hey man sorry. By the time I got the tools cleaned up and found what was holding the frame up it was dark. Pics were not coming out good. The frame is sitting on the ground two feet under the body of the burb. I plan on pulling it out tomorrow if I can finish work and get home before dark.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

well I did what I said I would never do.... pull the frame out from under my burb. LOL. Many warned me it was going to happen.. I said nahh ill never do it.
I power washed it, scraped it clean and got it ready for the removal of the PB rear DM so that I can install the Scotts Super Slam rear kit. Out came the sawzall and I cut it out. Tomorrow Ill clean up the welds left behind after the DM was removed. Ill also box the rear frame for the 4 link mounts.
I got the frame set at "ride height" at 6.5 inches, and the frame is all level ready for install and welding. I plan on getting it ready to roll back under the truck by next week.

Thanks guys.
Juan

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

haha. Ive got some pics off of my phone... the small ones. and the others off my camera.... guess Ill retake them and post up tomorrow with some normal size photos. LOL

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

what?!

i felt that was coming! lol...

is any of that rear stuff reusable?

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

Why you say what?! Lol. What part is shocking.
The bridge is. I cut about 1/4 inch off each end of the bridge tubes were they we're welded. If your interested just give me a call and we can talk about it. It's still very usable with some small mounting plates on it.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

i need to stop tinkering with new ideas lol, ill never get stuff finished if i keep switching it up!

i meant "what" as in i cant believe you pulled the body off lol.

hey, what was the reason for swapping to scotts rear setup instead of the dropmember?

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

Well to be honest I just didn't like it. Nate makes a nice product and I really wanted it and was all gun ho about going all porter. Durring the install and after I just was not feeling it. Trying to build something different. Seems like in the last year a ton of trucks have dm's installed and I wanted set my truck appart.
I talked to Justin and really liked what they were doing over there. The rest is history. I've ordered the rest of Scott's susp parts. I like it all to match.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

here are some pictures. The rear is installed. I have to flip the frame to weld the bottom of the front brackets. Ill paint the parts and the frame within the next few days. Then push her back into the garage to mount the body back on.
More to come soon guys!! I have PB hood hinges, brake lines, and some air lines to install.
