Thanks for the compliment! I can't wait until it is painted. It would be cool to make it work like the wagon, but I don't want to add another 2 months to the project.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
I got the body to door edge built up for the drivers side of the tailgate. Also cut in body to tailgate gap. It's fairly close and will only need a little more fine tuning.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
(I may need to bite my tongue on this) I looks fairly simple after looking at it. So on the passenger side of the door, the bottom latch acts as a hinge for when it folds down too? I guess you could steal the latches from one. But I guess getting all the linkage, and hinging motion to be smooth and strong would take ages of tinkering.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
Got a couple of hours this evening. I finished up the drivers side tailgate lip. Then I built the jam for the passengers side. Should be able to finish up the passenger side tailgate lip tomorrow. Then it will be ready to pull the body off of the chassis. I still have a little more metal work to finish, but it will be easier to do with it on a rotissierre. Finally some light at the end of the tunnel!!!!!!!!!!!

Tailgate is pretty much done except for adding bear claw latches. PCMCobrba came over and I got to test fit a set of 20" Coys.

Damn it! That looks too good not to do... Now you've added to my list

The wheels are polished. I used a wheel/tire measuring tool that I got from Mike at MuscleRodz. I came out with a 4" backspacing on a 20 X 10 wheel. PCMCobras were 5 or 5 1/2" backspacing. He had them mounted on a 86 SWB. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=240811 I think the difference being 1970 and back rearend are inch or so (I think) shorter on each side. Here's a link to his wheels. If I would have been thinking, I probably should have bought them for the CrewCab, ![]() ![]()

Rob,
Looks outstanding... I see there's 3 burb guy's eyeing up the same wheel. I'm with Mike on the 22 X 9 for the rear. If I could stop working sooooo much, maybe I could work on my burb & get something finished. Anyone given anythought on how to do hidden hinges on the upper liftgate? ![]()

FF - It will be close for the one piece of lower trim, but if you look at the truck setup it's not perfectly lined up with the bottom of the tail light trim. I think I can place the lower trim right above the hinges and make it work. The problem you will run into with raising everything up, will be matching the body lines up (side) and the upper side trim (if you use the truck trim and paint). I lined up both lower body lines (truck/burb) which made the upper side truck trim hit the tail lights in the right place. I think that if you plan on using the lower tailgate trim, that since you are doing a one piece lift gate, you could lengthen the lip of the lift gate to get it lower to help with alignment. This is probably more confusing than help. I guess I should have asked you what your overall idea is,... Suburban paint scheme with truck tail lights or truck paint scheme and truck tail lights. I attached some picture of the Burb with some of the trim on and of some trucks for reference. As for being a Pioneer, thanks!, too bad my metal working skills don't match my ability to dream some of this stuff up. Good thing they make grinders and bondo, ![]()

As a point of note also - I would probably paint in the rear silver section as well...I think it would look better than cutting the trim to fill out over the door seam.
