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.

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...

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
 

Yeah, thats the stuff....wondered where it came from. Just looked kinda 'hotrod' to me; like a drilled axle or something. Ever since I stuck the fat 15's on all I picture are drag/hotrod stuff on the truck.



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.

Where is the side pic? That thing is going to look sick with those rallies!

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
 

Damn!!!:cuss: You guys are ridin' me hard!!:lol: Where's Mac for the icing on the cake?;)

I had to get new shoes on the DD and I worked on my gauge holder yesterday. I'm going to try to get it out in the light today and get a pic on by tonite.....so just pipe down and go out and work on yer trucks......:smoke:

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
 

Get it now....Good idea !

Now, are we gonna get a side picture ??

Wait, was that asked already ?

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
 

OK, even washed it up for ya....all works just fine and I have one nasty leak. I dont know how that happened, I tightened all the stuff on the bench and my wrists hurt for a day afterward.:waah: Welcome to your new screensaver......:smoke:

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
 

Forgot the other side..........

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
 

Please...

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
 

Great looking burb.:metal: That screams hotrod.
I've enjoyed reading the thread.
I noticed on your back bumper the two dimples.
Attachment 500530
Is this a burb bumper or is it a fleetside bumper?
I have the same one on my panel but it is not chromed.

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
 

Lookin' good out in the daylight!
Burbs rule....

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
 

NICE WORK JEFF!!! I LIKE THE NEW LOOK!! you are going to like the ride better on the slam bags

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
 

SA-WEET!!!!!

Looks much more "hot rod" now :metal:

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
 

.......:lol: I know;)

Not sure.....it was on it when I bought it. Ive been under the back a bunch lately and if its not a rear bumper, then its a front that has been on there for a long time 'cuz it looks old.

Thanks guys; its fun seeing it in a new lite. I had Slam bags in it before, I just bumped the rears to re8. I use re7's in the front. They ride killer. Those re8's eat a lot of air.

:agree: I still have to put the center caps on the wheels...just hadn't done it yet. I will be replacing the pass fender as its bondo....I have an old original that I have been slowly beating into submission and needs a lower patch. Drivers fender needs a patch too. Then on to a power plant!!

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
 

:metal: :burnout:

have you found an engine for it yet?

maybe you should swipe Kyle's blown small block ;)

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
 

Beautiful hardware and work, Jeff! This ride's a real low-slung classic.

Mac. :metal:

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
 

Yeah, that would be nice.....no engine yet.

Thanx Mac....still trying to get it cleaned up a bit. Goodguys is coming up in November and thats what I'm shooting for as far as timeline. So far I'm looking good but time has a way of disappearing quickly.


Here's the fender I've been working on for awhile. This is when I first got it and it looks better now...no pics, but I thought I'd throw it in here anyway. I'm determined to have it live again:lol:

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
 

Here's the fender Ive been pounding on....getting ready to patch the lower corner. Still debating if its worth the work but I'm going to forge ahead.

Soaked and polished up the centercaps and bolted those on, too.

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
 

I think it is worth it to bring back the original metal, and it is nothing but experience for you :thumbs:

Centers look nice! :metal:

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
 

:agree:

Gotta love those truck rallies! Simple stock rims yet very clean.

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
 

Got my leak fixed Friday nite. Yet to test, but I'm sure its good this time: much tighter on the fittings.

Another thing on the list is the stereo. I originally had a kick-butt stereo and have since robbed stuff for my DD. I didnt like my kick panels because the speakers set too low. I started making up new ones today....I'm able to get them going quickly 'cuz I use some plastic kick panels for the rough shape. I destroyed my old panels to get the wooden piece out and re-use it. I will be deleting the kick vents, too. I never found them useful except for blowing crap off the floor and into my eyes!:lol: Will glass them soon.

Searching for an engine also........

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
 

Right on!!!
We are planning on deleting the vents also, the benefit of them is outweighed by the crud in the eyes factor :lol:
