Don't know if same or different like on the chevys 62 / 63 ... I'm in gresham , Oregon and could've met and loaded into the burb ... Would've made you a great deal $150.00 ...

Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
Thanks man !!
Well, my plan is to do a little (if possible) every day after work. I stopped at the local Walmart, and picked up some supplies .... - I decided it needed a decent set of matching rollers, so my daughter and I cleaned up the stock wheels off the '63 ..... - - - - One of the four cleaned .... - - - - - - I noticed all four wheels have these marks on them ... Are these factory markings ?? - - - - The worst one .... - - - - All clean ... wheels have a nice 'patina' on them () .. if only the body did ... - - - - It looks like the body was originally white, but there is also blue showing. In fact, it looks like they painted the trim (and obviously more) blue at one time. It was late, so I hit one spot with an SOS .... - - - - - - Hopefully tonight, I can give it a nice first bath ...

Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
looks like a great start, is that duct tape on the front fenders or something?

Hey Chief, That upper windshield panel is a good idea..I drilled out the spot welds (88 of them) on mine and was able to clean all up in there..I got mine from Top Banana Too..Now I'm confident theres no rust up there O yea keep scrubbing that primer I'm sure there's patina under there somewhere Burb looks Great.. |

Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
haven't bought that above windshield piece, but I have bought several other pieces from Top Banana, and have had good luck. They're all KeyParts/Tri plus.

Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
That C20 crossmember isn't going to work for you John. When you get back take a look at the LCA shafts and how they mount. I suppose you could always fab some saddles and weld them on, but I think getting them in the exact location would be a big PITA.
Have fun and see you in a week.

This is first early chassis, but always read here that 63 and later crossmembers bolt up with some sort of "elongation" of holes or something ? Posted via Mobile Device FROM MAUI, HAWAI'I

Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
The crossmember will bolt up to the frame, but there are no saddles for the round C10 LCA shafts. The '63-'66 C20 LCA shafts are flat and bolt to the crossmember with standard hex head bolts.

Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
Well, we flew in last night. Arrived back in CA (San Jose) at about 7:45. Pilot must of been in a hurry ... We actually arrived almost 45 min early.
The Maui airport is evidently a short one, because the pilot had to get on it before he even straightened it up on the runway ... thought he was gonna get a little sidewayz .... The wind at take off had the wife almost in tears ... All went well ... and we had a great time !!! Upon waking up this morning, I had my first present to open... Actually our dog, Jacob helped out with it. - - - One of CaptainFabs 60-62 booster mounts....Thanks again, Cap -

Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
Today, nothing much was done, besides opening more can-o-worms ...
Notice the piles on the floor .... Looks like rockers officially need replacement, and well as floor crossmembers need replacement/patching ... - - - - After cutting out gas pedal screws, I removed the hump, exposing the 4-speed. Good thing, the driveline with front slip is present. - - - - Anyone need a good 4-speed ??

You have that elusive pan that protects the front section of the engine between the rad and motormounts. Some trucks do most don't.
