Hart I get 12 7/8 to 13 inches in those places and mine are all factory installed holes.

Don't know, but I always thought the fleetside tails would look good...

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)

Someone hit the nail on the head, but I'm not going to say who until I have it completed. Fedex dude dropped off some more bling yesterday. Thanks PIKMUP.

looks great..personaly if it was me and i was going the way your going id pull the body..and do it right...just me..you putting alot of time and money in it,,would hate for it to go bad in few yrs down the road..plus that darn salt air is rough on stuff...

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

I've went this far, so we're probably going to pull it off the frame even though I swore I wasn't going to do that :lol: .

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

yeah I don't wanna pull mine off the frame either cause I know it'll take me that much longer to get it back together. but I do want to do the body mounts but i can't find the jegs or summit listing for the kit you showed
#3-4149 from energy suspension.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

That's the part I don't like about pulling off the frame, I'm sure it will add a months to the project. As for the bushings, call them. It's a fairly new part that they don't list on the internet. There will be a G or an R on the end for black or red.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

thanks I'll just call them.
I really like the gas struts for the hatch that you did. For mine with the lift i have I can't get the hatch to fully upen to use the factory slider lifts.

once this thing is road worthy I have a 69 gmc 2wd burb that i want to drag home and cut it up into a 2door 69 tahoe. the body is just toast but the right cuts will get all the rust out. and make a dialy driver with a basic 350 and a 700r4.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Any word on the taillights....... Just wondering if I was right... probly not but its worth a shot..

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

more pics Rob!!!!! I can't wait to see this one finished.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Did a little panel fitting today. It actually looks like a truck again and got me a little motivated.:metal:

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Someone nailed it, but I'm not going to say who until I get it completed:) .

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

updates?

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Just a small update. I sliced the passenger side rocker and have it lined up with the door now. Hopefully I will knock out the drivers side tomorrow.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

i had never thought about doing that to my rockers to make them line up better. currently the bottom of my doors do not line up well, but the rest of the door does.

are those factory rockers? or did someone install them?

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Looks like the H2 lights to me. No cadi lights would fit like that.

This thing is sick, and helpfull too. On down the long road, Id like to drop mine onto the ground, and this thread has given my a real good look at the suspension.

About how long did it take you to do the rockers, in hours? Mine are well rusted, so thats on my todo list...

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

looks good...thats the bad thing about all this work,,,just keeps snow balling..so far with all the junk ive owned,,i have never felt the urge to do a frame off..and dont and cant afford to do it now,,but will get the body right then later on worry about it..maybe after all kids are gone...

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

If you just have to replace the rocker, first one will probably take about 3 hrs. The other side will go quicker. Do the passenger side first, so if you mess up you don't have to see it every time you get into the truck. If you have to replace other stuff, (floors, inner rockers, dogleg) it will take more time.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

They are Goodmark/Triplus rockers. I installed them myself. I should have checked them better before I installed them. I will next time.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

they look like they will be h2's... just my educated guess though... coming from being a mini trucker, i've seen MANY cadillac conversions... they are all long and skinny... thats just my 17 year old guess though...

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Thanks for the info, Ill see about the floor later when its home. :eek:

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Got the passenger side rocker fixed.
