Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
I know what you mean. When sanding the body filler its so much work but you have to control yourself and not get in a hurry or you will have to put more filler on and start all over again. I really respect the guys that do this stuff for a living everyday. I hate having to wear those dust masks and dust all over the shop everywhere.

I met this guy once in Phoenix and saw a pic of his 'burb so I saved it. I thought it was cool and had never seen a gold paint job that was fresh; looked awesome. This may be how I paint mine....dont know right now.

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Going a little slower than I thought but I'm still getting there....
![]() ![]() After reading the thread about all the new parts that dont fit, I guess its six to one half dozen. It still takes a ton of work to patch stuff up, too. Heres the grill support as I am still working it over and then my drivers fender after its done and waiting for the primer. Trial fit my repop and it fit well. Pulled the inner brackets off my old fenders and drilled my new re-pop for the '64 emblem. Im going to pull the grill and headlites so I can get my old stuff out of the way and then begin to assemble the 'new' front clip. Ok, pics...........

Been pluggin' along today and cleaned up the inner fender brackets and shot them with some rust inhibitor. Tore off my grill support and found some things I hadn't noticed before. Dont know if they are 'burb only or if this was a 3/4 ton?? The grill support has brackets with rubber bumpers that sit on the bumper supports; hmmm? I mentioned it before, but the whole front clip and underhood has zinc chromate under the paint. Everywhere! It's peaking out to the far left in the pic with the extra bracket. Also found the core supports are rubber mounted, unlike my pickups that have the brackets riveted to the frame. Also a shot of the 1/8'' of bondo over some dents on the core support. I could have fixed this one as it's in great shape with the exception of this poor body work. I'm probably going to just use the one I have already done and keep this one.

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Hung the front pieces on just to get an idea of my next set of headaches. Nothings tight, 6 bolts total holding it on......

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
I think those rubber bumpers are on Suburban and Panel as I found them on my '65 Panel. Thought it was weird but thinking more, it might to help minimize body flex due to the body being mounted the full length of the frame, unlike a truck cab. These might hit the bumper brackets to help prevent some flexing.
At least that's my theory. ![]()

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
I agree
All Burbs and Panels that I have seen have radiator support mounts that are bonded rubber in the middle like the C20 and up rear cab mounts. Quote:

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
I don't know about you, but I would rather fab just about anything than do paint and body work. I admire your progress. Nice work!!

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Well, after staring at the eyebrow above the windshield, I decided to yank the glass and install the patch panel. I'm going to go backwards a bit but in the end it will be less work having a complete piece in there. The worst part is the sealer!! Looks like this thing has had 20 windshields installed

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Are you going to do anything to rust proof the inside? Bet some people would just glue it. I think thats how they do a roof.

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Well, this is as far as I got....tacked in one side and was tired and started hurrying which isnt good so I packed it in for the night. I have to clearance one end for welds; it's difficult to judge as the piece 'tater chips' into place. I need to push up and clamp it then weld the inside edge. It should be easy to finish, along with the other side, tomorrow.

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Looks great man!! Don't forget to put a welding blanket over your door glass. You don't want an errant piece of slag to ruin your glass. I put slag in almost every piece of glass in my wife's truck tack-welding the well-nuts for the roof rack to the roof skin. Just tack welding. Grinding will do it too. I'm sure you know this already, but didn't want to see you forget too and ruin glass that is much harder to replace than mine was.
Glad to see you keeping on it. Good progress!!

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Ok... I gotta ask.. Are the very ends at the seams welded inside--so to say "hidden"?? I'll be replacing the whole panel and have been curious about this part... Looks great BTW
