Looks superb, you do great work! How many hours you reckon you have in that? 35?

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

Looks Awesome!

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

I really like this project. I am very interested in some of the parts you listed from ECE, where can I see the parts online or where can I get a catalog? Any help would be graet thank you.

Well I have been gone awhile but this thing is looking good. I really like the tail lights, stock burb lights never sat well with me.

35 hours of work and 4 months of ciphering, :D. Are you going to be around tomorrow evening?

Thanks man!

Thanks Kevin. Congrats on the "lil man".

I totally could be. IFC is doing free movies in the park ~6-7 blocks from my house, so I had plans to do that w/friends, but it's neither definite nor required.

If you're able to pop into town, feel free to stop by. As a perk, I have one of those SA-1000 harnesses that I'm looking to offload, or if you just wanted to check it out ... yep!

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

Sorry we couldn't make it work out Jason, maybe next time.

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

No worries! Either way, if you're interested in that SA-1000 wiring setup, let me know. I've opted not to use mine. If I weren't taking the time to completely rewire my truck inside and out, I'd totally use it, but ... meh.

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

Do you have a link to it?

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

Look at the last two pictures in this post: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...4&postcount=93

Here is Jared's site with the prices, etc.: http://www.currentperformance.com/Ac...iring_acc.html

It's the top kit - $94. Will sell shipped for $10 less if it will help you out?

I'll dock 10% off his price and ship it to your door for free, if this is a perk.

Shifty, I'm not sure what I'm going to do right now. I'm leaving for NM on the 3rd, so the car stuff is going to be on hold for a while, :( .

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

At least you have na excuse. I am at home right now but have so many chores that I can't touch teh truck. I have the agony of walking by it every single day though.I did have time to get the gas cap mod done and FAQ thread done, and I installed one of the push-on door seals that GMC Pauls sells (but now I can't close the door without seriously slamming it so hard the glass could break!), got firewall blockoff plates done and all wiring stripped out.

I am STILL waiting (3 months later?) for Jegs to send my speedo and tach gauges.

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

Which ones are you getting? Part #?

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

Good news! Got the body off the frame, :metal: .

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

Autometer Ultra Light II 5" gauges:

autometer 4989 - speedo
autometer 4998 - tach

Autometer Ultra Light II 3-1/8" gauges:

autometer 4992 - voltage
autometer 4953 - oil pressure
autometer 4937 - water temp 100-250
autometer 4913 - fuel level

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

Bad news, :(. After pulling the body off the frame and I found out that it's been tweaked pretty bad. I could try to get it fixed, but since the body is already off, I might as well replace it. Anyone got a good 2WD Suburban frame?

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

That is minor Hart Rod, very easy repair especially with the body off already. Go have it fixed

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

I'm not so sure. The frame had a 2" crack in it also right behind the front crossmember. Plus, right side frame horns where the bumper bolts on seems messed up also. I was going to try and clean this frame up without taking anything apart. If I had another frame, I could just sand blast/paint it and swap everything over.

jim meyer racing advertises frames any wheelbase...expensive but nice...might be an option

Cut it out.... Make that bad boy a Tahoe :metal:

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

I do not have the skills or the patience of Frizzle Fry, :D. Plus, I want to drive it again before the end of the decade.

I'm just going to find another frame and swap everything over.

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

rob, if you have troube finding a frame, let me know , i've got a friend with a71-72 suburban that he was wanting to sell cheap . it's here north of montgomery. if your interested i'll get up with him and get the details , mike

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

Any help finding a good one closer would be great. Let me know.

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

Bolted the motor and tranny in the chassis just to make some room in the shop. Everything lines up real well. Too bad, I'm going to have to pull it out again.

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

looks good from here

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

We all know you do ...and mine was back on the road after three weeks ;) Too bad the bend is in the wrong place or I'd say you have no excuse :lol:

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

Did you get in touch with him?

***********

I'm already missing working on the burb. I was so close to getting it done. Oh well, hopefully I can get it finished for the power tour next year. I've already found 2 projects here, :D. I gotta have something to play with.....:).

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

come on, come on..... we need updated pics:metal: BTW i like you 50??? chevy pullin the trailer.. thata way to keep them working..

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

I'm getting another frame from UNCLE. Hopefully I'll be able to put the chassis back together when I go home in October. Then if my Painter, makes some progress, We'll put the body back on the chassis around Christmas time. Then, hopefully, some "real" progress will begin. :D

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

if you can pull it all together should be a great christmas!! good Luck!!

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

:help: Hartrod. When you weld that panel back on that you cut off, do you put the por15 on there before you weld the panel or after? Can you get to it after to apply the por15???

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

That's going to take some doing. I'm having jaw surgery in the middle of all of this, :D, :( .

Which panel are you talking about?

R

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

The rear panel, or even the front panel. Anywhere that two bare metals are being welded together. Do you put the por15 down, put the new metal then weld it???

Anywhere that two seems are coming together...

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

When possible, I try to POR15 the area after I weld it. That stuff puts off a pretty caustic smell when you try to weld near it.

R

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

In this pic for example.
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1164117917

Do you put port15 on the back of that new panel that your welding on?

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

Yes, just try to stay away from the weld area. After you have it all welded, then you can take a garden sprayer and put POR15 in it and spary up in an access panel to cover the rest.

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

Rob, i didn't realize you were so exceptional, @ all these projects. A trip down to see the 52 could turn into a beautiful thing. I was wondering, are you being transferred to New Mexico?, if so maybe i should wait tosee the 52, being i live in Wa. state.
Also another thing i would like to take this opportunity to thak you for your service to our beloved, country. Like you i served, in the 70's, in the U.S. Army. Later, Danny's 72 superchey
