Yeah. Lookin' good. Wish I had time to work on my 70 Longbed...but with school and a couple of other projects, the pickup sits...
BTW...have you had any $800 or offers on the truck since you started rebuilding it?  (You still have the PO selling info in the windows)Mike

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
thanks man i was just wondering i bought some for my truck and wanted some exactly that size. looks good. project is coming out clean
[QUOTE=kev2809;4094007]225/75/15...which is 28.8" tall. I think I checked and they should be the same height as a 22" tire/rim that will eventually go on (245/35/22, which is 28.75). havent tried looking to see if that size is available. im not too concerned though because i will probably z the truck and 4 link the rear next year. i just want to get it on the road to enjoy it before i start doing major work to it. |

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
some progress on the motor!
got the timing gears back on, timing chain cover with new gasket and seal. installed new (painted) water pump, and just got the intake on with new gaskets and bolts as well. i did the oil pan about a week ago, and broke a bolt. so i had to take it back off and figure out how i will get it out lol. i figure i can finish off the top and then get back to the oil pan... some silicone here..  and here..  new gasket..  tada! i know its blurry, but you get the idea lol

while still needing some more parts to finish the motor, i figured i could finish up the panhard bar. i picked up a a 30" solid bar to extend the short cpp one i have now, so i unbolted the passenger side ta to get the panhard bracket in. well i notice its 2 different nuts first of all, but while putting it back together the nut only went so far, then stalled, with an impact gun. so i tried my own strength with a ratchet, and the ratchet broke. i figure somehow the threading is either stripped or something, soooo, i just cut the u bolt in half to get it off. would an autoparts store carry a u bolt that big? i think its 3/4" thick and about 10 inches long maybe? i really dont want to order another u bolt and wait on it to get here, just more and more setbacks!

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
well, i went to o reilly this morning and got the biggest supsension u bolt they had, 9/16" thick, 3 3/8" axle size (i think) and 10 5/8" long. they hang down a little further than the other side, but they look like they will work. they are smaller diameter than the one i cut out, but 9/16" should be fine, right?
i got the rearend REALLY close to center, so i will tack weld the extension bar on the panhard, cycle it a few times to make sure its good, then weld it up. should have some pictures this week.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
lol, i know its big but i wanted to be damn sure i have clearance if i change my setup later. ya, i proably will switch them out when i get this thing moving, i have a lot of stuff i need to tidy up. i also have a project box im gonna stick the relay in with the grounds to keep them weather proof, and also switch all the connectors to weather proof ones.
