He's been gone for years, unfortunately .

Jeremy, I might be getting a 4l80e that is 4x4 and I need the 2wd stuff. If I end up getting it, I'd trade ya if you wanted.

Sharpie had some great stuff, really! Ryan, tailshaft, housing, and yoke? I actually needed to pick your brain... I've hit a brick wall on the cummins crew. My fan is up too high. any suggestions? I do not want to drop the engine any more than it already is.

[Dieselwrencher]

Jeremy, what engine and fan hub are in it currently? 1st gen non IC, IC, or 2nd gen?

[jbclassix]

I have both... I tried the 1st Gen IC one first (I think) I'll pull them both out and check them out. I'm looking at this 454 fan I have too, but it's not really scratching the itch

Any update? This is making me want to get my butt moving on my door mods.

SWEET.. We have a 1971, We have 4 Grand kids and this is the perfect vehicle for them they love it, they call it SWEET PEA, We had it on 3 vacations so far, Just got back from Clearwater Fl with it, 1000 miles one way. So I hope you enjoy it like we do ours...

Well, quick update. Been busy since moving back to CO. Added another kiddo to the mix, Harrell James. Born 12-7-17. That brings the count up to 5. My wife brought me a picture and said "this is what I want the suburban to look like" so she has been planning a trip to go get it. The power train is all ready to go for it, I estimate another 300 to 350 hours of work to finish it. Some projects I have finished since moving;

My dad's jeep: I rebuilt the 4.0L, swapped in an AW4, did a MML, 1"body lift, tank tuck, and a few other doodads. This is the project I brought out from CA

Built a "spare" truck for work: 93 K3500 6.5L.

And then the biggest project: 1986 F350 460 to Cummins swap. Once I install the cruise control, this sucker is done. It was a long, big project that ended up with me rebuilding absolutely everything on the truck or replacing it. There is a build thread in the diesel swap section, "well it's not a Chevy".

Honestly, most of my disappearance is due to photo bucket and picasa screwing up the internet.

This summer I am bringing the 95 crew/cummins out to finish it for my brother and then spring I'll be getting the burb.

Sorry about the picture orientation. I have tried everything to edit them before hand to get them to post right, but they still return to the original format.

Jeremy, the burb will look sweet! Congrats on kiddo #5! We are up to 4 and I know all to well what its like to try to find time to do extra projects. Good luck with it all and nice work on it all!
