Re: New to me 69' C20 Suburban
Sorry about the delay in answering questions, life's been very busy!
It looks like the front and rear was lowered by torching the springs to allow them to collapse. The cluster has the original speedo and gas gauges. The PO put in 5 Stewart Warner gauges as well. Temp, Amps, Tachometer, oil pressure and a second fuel gauge. They all work accept the ST fuel gauge.
The new rear axle goes in on Saturday. Its a Dana 60 with 3.54's along with new springs and control arm bushings. The axle is in the shop getting new bearings and races. After that, the next project is a disk brake kit I picked up from a guy who had it for a truck he was building but sold before he used the kit. Got a pretty good deal.
When I got the truck home, I found I had an overheating problem. I replaced the fan clutch and thermostat but that didn't help so I had the radiator rebuilt. That seems to have fixed the problem although I may have some heat related damage I'll have to fix. The exhaust manifold is cracked and it might have a blown head gasket, i'm not sure yet.
More later.
