evobuilder · 05-01-2011, 09:30 PM

wow your bed floor looks awesome. I am starting on mine (raised 5 inches) and would be considder myself lucky as hell if mine comes out this nice.

Driveway Dreams · 05-01-2011, 11:35 PM

I can finally post something here! I started cleaning the rear area of my Burb out. I found a ton of magazines, majority of which are still readable. A lot of National Geographic, some Wyoming Wildlife, and some other misc magazines. All from the late 60s to the early 80s. There was even a National Geographic from 1969...the issue from when we landed on the moon. There was some old parts too. Sorry I didn't take pics. I was just trying to make progress.

I got a friend to pop over so we could put on the PS inner fender. One more piece down, 99 others next!

rafasbadhabit · 05-03-2011, 01:37 AM

finish the the fuel pump and put in the new radiator, got my white walls installed,well i did it all this weekend, but today I took her all over the place and she ran beautiful.

knuckledragger · 05-03-2011, 01:47 PM

Replace the rear shocks with a set of old stock monroe magnums.They were originally for the front of a 70-96 g van.Work great with the 5" drop.

Vernski · 05-03-2011, 03:48 PM

Finally got some shots of my rockers & doors I painted a few days ago rockers are a little rough but they will be under the rug & sound shield anyway they are rock solid and will not leak, both sides were replaced....Vernski

61_FL_Apache · 05-03-2011, 03:58 PM

I will be replacing my rear brakes and wheel cylinders later today.

**slepysal** · 05-03-2011, 04:02 PM

wash and waxed

LeftCoast32 · 05-03-2011, 05:32 PM

Here are the pictures of everything back from Media Blasting

The Cab - Needs a little work in the floors from setting for so long. It is not bad just needs a little attention.

The Doors - Couple of small dents, no rust at all.

The Hood - Needs a little straightening, no rust at all.

The Cowl - Perfectly straight, no rust at all.

The Fenders - Perfectly Straight, no rust at all.

The Grill - Perfectly Straight, no rust at all.

LeftCoast32 · 05-03-2011, 08:09 PM

Here is the Vac and Tach Gauge Cluster I have been working on for it. Still waiting for the Gauge Surround to get back from Chrome Plating.

61_FL_Apache · 05-03-2011, 08:41 PM

I like it!!

It is a combination of 3 different Gauge Clusters, a Tac/Transmitter and Vac purchased off evil-bay and an NOS Temp Gauge.

Looks good!

chainsaw · 05-05-2011, 04:05 PM

Scrapped off 46 years of paint, road grime and undercoating under drivers fender. Fenders are still on truck, scraped by hand, no power tools. Can barley move my right arm but making progress while waiting on parts.

sams60gmc · 05-05-2011, 07:52 PM

Today I machined a DD in my steering shaft, then cut a piece of stress proof and put a DD on that aswell. If I remember tomorrow I'll finish my rack standoffs so I can start to finish the steering.

6863m · 05-05-2011, 09:16 PM

I finished the rebuilding of both wing window assemblies and installed the drivers side door window and internal parts. I will do the Passenger side tomorrow.
