...I can't say that about mine.

TOYOTA61384 · 02-17-2005, 12:55 PM

Do you have any pics of the rear suspension? I am about to start on mine this weekend, and am trying to make sure I am on the right track.

Thanks

Robert

thats is going to be tight when your done with it. I wish you could keep the scoop on it I think that looks tight but I understand the clerance issues. awsome burb. make sure to keep posting pics as you progress.

*ghetocrewzer* · 02-27-2005, 01:35 PM

few pics with the 67 hood cut and just sittin on truck....

*ghetocrewzer* · 06-05-2005, 09:11 PM

Bout to finally finish the 67 hood install, fab rear floor in it, and do the suicide doors canti 4-link. Also gotta weld up all the trim holes, few small rust spots then strip rest of body and get it in Epoxy so body filler work can begin. I plan to skim whole body and block with long boards get it really close then start priming/blocking till its perfect. Paint plans have changed as well: doin it the Saffron on the bottom/black on top section with airbrsuhed chrome trim with candy green w/ water effect insert. Hope to have it in final paint by end of the winter. Wish me luck LOL

*ghetocrewzer* · 06-05-2005, 09:24 PM

Also guy is buyin my 20's so ima step up to some 22's was gonna go bigger but i think 22's will be perfect for the shape and size of the fenders. here's the rims ima get http://www.aewheel.com/images/categories/025.jpg

smokekiki · 06-06-2005, 08:39 AM

Keep on posting updates.The hood is looking good!

4x4Poet · 06-06-2005, 08:29 PM

The lowered, later model 69-72s really benefit from a '67 hood. Keeps the truck from looking boxey.

Nice work. Looks like you can crush walnuts with the tranny xmember.

*ghetocrewzer* · 06-06-2005, 11:32 PM

Yeah it makes ants duck hahahahah. I custom built the tranny crossmember flush with the bottom of frame and tucked everything so nuthin hangs below it. Frame lays flat and pinchweld is 1/4" off ground when lay'd out.
Thanks for the props guys

*Sublvr72* · 06-07-2005, 12:11 AM

sweet nice pics!

milehightoyz · 06-28-2005, 01:49 AM

that thing is looking gorgeous! awesome job!

*ghetocrewzer* · 07-02-2005, 02:08 PM

Got the hood actually mounted with Sasche Rod Shop hinges just got to take em off and slot holes for adjustablity then weld in filler across front edge where i had to cut to fit 67 hood on 72 cap

Long Roof · 07-02-2005, 07:48 PM

Looks mighty fine. Do you have a photo shop or sketches of the paint scheme?

benscool1 · 07-03-2005, 05:01 PM

What did you have to do to get the 67 hood to fit? I thought the lines wouldn't match up w/the fenders? Could you have still used stock hinges?

The 67 hood is just longer in the front cause it doesnt have a grille shell to stop at like the 72 so i shortened it there, everything else is the same as far as mounting and latching. I coulda used the original hinges with the hood swap but my truck is layd on 20's and the stock hinges hit so i had to change hinge design/location......

I have a 69 burb and a "spare" 68 front clip I would like to put on. Is it simply a bolt on or does it require alot of fabrication. Do the body lines match up as well from 68-69?

smokekiki · 07-05-2005, 03:53 PM

You need the core support for the 68,the fenders,hood,hood latch,and grill.As long as You have it,it is a bolt on.

I have all that so it shouldn't be a problem.... I have two 68's and the 69. One 68 has a banged up front corner and the other (clip donor) is just a body and frame. As soon as I pull the parts I need I will be selling the two 68's off.

98L150 · 07-05-2005, 05:02 PM

Looking good. Any pics of the new hood hinges?

*ghetocrewzer* · 07-05-2005, 06:03 PM
