Just picked up this 1966 Suburban - Page 3 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have been working on getting the burbs rear end down. Installed c-notch, adjustable track bar, shock relocators, KYB shocks, and working on getting the Accuair Elevel installed.

Working on installing the ride height sensors now.

Man, that's a good looking Burb!

**lolife99** · 02-08-2016, 10:54 AM

Looks good!

Nice shop,the ride height look great the way it was.Very nice suburban.

Coursey · 02-08-2016, 04:02 PM

Thanks low buck. That is actually full drop. Wish it would ride that low, but would have to full inner fenders and big notch.

Looks Great Man !!!!

Coursey · 02-10-2016, 10:28 AM

This is how I was mounting the front sensors.

**Advanced Design** · 02-10-2016, 09:47 PM

Burb looks great!

What are the sensors mounted with?

Coursey · 02-11-2016, 08:03 AM

Small 2.5" bolt with a 3/4" long coupling used as a stand off with a lock not on back. Seams very solid.

Coursey · 03-05-2016, 12:54 PM

Pulled it out of the shop to let the elevel calibrate!

Coursey · 03-05-2016, 12:59 PM

Had an issue pop up when i backed it out the steering box started leaking around the end.
I am unsure if this is a 1966 or 1985 box?
The front rack is off of a 1985 c10, so i am unsure about the steering box.

It has 85 stamped into the end. Not sure if this means 1985 or something else.

smbrouss70 · 03-05-2016, 02:06 PM

I don't think they had a power steering "Box" in '66, it was a steering assist ram. See if the fittings are metric, and if they are, go ahead and use an '85 box.

**Advanced Design** · 03-05-2016, 07:14 PM

Your Burb is a beauty!

Coursey · 03-11-2016, 03:54 PM

Road side gas stop!

**lolife99** · 03-11-2016, 03:56 PM

Looks great!

Thanks. I actually sold this one the first of the summer. It went to a guy down around Atlanta, GA.
