Man if someone didn't know better (lots of people) the tubs look all but stock, nice work.

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Put the burb up on the lift to check things out. Had to replace the collector gaskets,put some "dead soft" AL. ones in...those should seal/last better.
Had a little seepage around the tail shaft housing, tightened that up a bit...also took measurements for a one-piece driveshaft to replace the weaker two-piece. Other than that, everything looked alright...couple thousand miles since getting it on the road now. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Pic of the 1 1/2" spacer we made a couple months ago to drop it a bit... ![]()

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Worked on the underside rear fenders a bit...cleaned them up, shot some primer on the bare metal, and undercoated them.
Looking at burb from this angle sure makes the frame look ratty! ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
We've had near perfect weather around here for the last couple days...mid 80's, 5-10 mph breeze, really nice for mid-August!
Got the yard work done early, so the wife and I took the burb for a cruise down to the lake to let the dog swim and catch a sunset. ![]() ![]()

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
that's what undercoating is for. Nice sunset x2. Should stop and look at one more often, thanks.

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Lots of new stuff for you guys! House with shop space upgrades to the Burb, evening cruises to the lake. Sounds like a bit of Heaven going on.
What's the plan for the back seat? With the tubs widened the stock seat no longer fits correct? How about individual buckets or maybe 2007 and up Tahoe 3rd seats. Good thing you own that, if I did it would have become a 4x4! |

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Yea, it was relaxing...
![]() Quote:
Stock seats are long gone. I'll eventually have some suspension benches made to match the front buckets...long and short or maybe just a long that could fit behind or in-front of the tubs. For the time being, our lab likes it without anything in his way! ![]() Oh trust me, we seriously considered making it a 4X...almost everything we have is! I'm really enjoying it as a road toy though...we're having a blast with it! ![]()

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
I had an old truck driveshaft cut down to fit the burb...saved me a couple bucks but it's a bit big at 4" dia., but hey, its stronger
![]() ![]() The old shaft had 1350 joints (plenty for what I'm doing), so I swapped out the yokes on the tranny and axle...just a little bigger ![]() ![]() Pulled out the old two-piece and cut out the carrier mount... ![]() ![]() The offset of the pinion caused the larger dia. shaft to ride against the pass side of the crossmember. I cut out the pass side of the reinforcing lip and moved it outboard 3/4". ![]() Test fit before final welding...good enough clearance all around... ![]() Welded up... ![]() Done deal ![]() ![]()
