Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
nice link for sure. Ironically not even 5 years ago when I got into doing this stuff, I found a pic of that thieves AD truck online. It was one of my favorite trucks that made me really just fall in love with patina, AD trucks and just that look in general.
Yeah sometimes you gotta pay to play, I'v bought alot of my projects and or parts for 3-500 bucks, some more for sure. its crazy to think your two solid fenders cost more than what I bought my last truck for! but..... I also have 25 hrs in a rear fender for my 52' I'm painting, and thats just metal work and epoxy primer. So when it comes down to it time is money and then it doesn't seem bad coughing up some loot. by the looks of what I see complete trucks bringing lately, I think parts and parts trucks or projects might be on the rise too, so its a catch 22. maybe more will get saved from scrappers and put on the road, but then makes it harder for average joes to get into it. I guess time will tell. You've been in it for a while so maybe you've seen some trends come and go. but... style never fades in my book.

Sometimes you pause the project progress a little to spend quality time with the Grandsons...

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
The pesky fuel leak in the '56 Chevy turned out to be the screws holding the sending unit in. Some rubber gasket on the back of the screw heads seems to have fixed it. That took way longer than planned to fix so haven't had any time on the 'Burb for more than a week.
There was a thread on here (can't find it now) where someone was asking the difference between an AD Suburban and 1/2 ton truck frame. The only difference I've noticed (aside from the fuel tank straps) between the Suburban frame and the truck frame I have for this project is the second and third from front body mounts. Of course the truck doesn't have the third body mount. The fourth and fifth body mounts are simply a hole on top of the frame on the Suburban and the truck has the same holes. Here are a couple pic's of the second and third mount. |

Like a fisherman with my catch for the day....needed these for the frame going under the 'Burb.
And were able to do a little waxing on the '56....leaving for HRPT in the morning. |
