why spend so much on the front suspension and just do a 2 link in the back?

PBFAB.COM · 06-07-2007, 01:10 AM

Looking awesome Tony! I say keep the tractor tires out back!

Those pics are getting me motivated to do something to my 64!

PBFAB.COM · 06-07-2007, 01:13 AM

Tony-
KP is almost production ready on their new kit for the rear of these trucks. I would highly recommend checking into it. We will be working together on a complete kit for these trucks... Dropmember up front and KP out back.

That's the one!

Nathan,

Let me know if you hear anything on a release date on the 6 link. I'll definitely run that setup! And it's bolt in? Cool, Thanks for the help!

64shortc10 · 06-07-2007, 01:46 AM

Thanks Likaroc13! Good luck on the Burban build. No matter what it cost I think you should build it! I wish I haddn't been so dumb and ruined my 65 burban! Do you have pics of your burban?

no I don't...whenever I make it back home next time, I'll try to get some pics though...I'm in the process of trying to sell my '93 fullsize...if it sells, i wanna try and build the Burb...just gotta see how things go

poorboy · 07-30-2007, 02:05 AM

Looks good. Are you going to use those manifolds on the motor in the pic?

*blackedoutharley* · 07-30-2007, 02:14 AM

Hi there from Marysville/Yuba City area...

The last photo shows what looks like an auxillary fuel door on the bedside. Does it have them on both and more importantly does this truck have the fuel tank valve to swith over from one tank to another that you may possibly not be using any longer?????

Hmmm?????

slammed1966chevy · 07-30-2007, 08:06 AM

Nice dude !!!!

64shortc10 · 07-30-2007, 11:51 AM

Poorboy,

I dont think i'm using the manifolds, i'll probably use a shorty header.

Blackedoutharley,

The truck does have the doors on both sides which sucks for me cause I dont plan on using side tanks. But both the tanks were gone when I bought the truck. You live near Yuba city? I go grocery shopping there. Thanks guys for the compliments! Later.

Tony from Norcal

poorboy · 07-30-2007, 12:58 PM

Do you want to sell them?

1963chevyshort · 08-02-2007, 12:29 AM

Great to see you back Tony truck is looking awesome. I am at a hault with mine so waiting on some parts

L0WRIDE · 09-07-2007, 08:12 AM

hey tony made any progress with your truck????

72BlckButy · 09-07-2007, 08:19 AM

Looks like $500 dollars well spent!

The build looks great!

Brad54 · 09-07-2007, 01:45 PM

so what happens to the suburban now?
-Brad

64shortc10 · 09-07-2007, 07:02 PM

No Progress on the $500 Bucket! Sorry maybe i'll get off my lazy behind and work on it tommorrow! Thanks for the compliments! As far as the Burban goes may it rest in peices.

Tony from Norcal

64shortc10 · 09-27-2007, 12:30 AM

It is starting to look like a truck again!

Tony from Norcal

PrerunnerRob · 09-27-2007, 12:35 AM

Sweeeet! Your truck is coming along very nicely!

64shortc10 · 12-29-2007, 12:27 PM

Well I finally worked on the $500 bucket again! I've been considering trading it for a 95 or 96 ext. cab fullsize chevy, but after working on it again. I fell in love all over! I got my power rack installed yesterday and put my new chrome grill on just for some bling. With the rack in I could finally roll it half way out the garage. That things way to heavy to push up hill, so thats as far as it got! For my X-mas present from my Wife I'm getting a Kp notch and a pair of 5 lug axles from ECE! Later

Tony from Norcal

David Flores · 09-07-2007, 02:27 PM

Interested in selling those 17" centerline wheels?

creep · 10-02-2009, 08:15 AM

Truck is looking sweet! I can't wait 'till mine lays out. Do you happen to know the back spacing on those 20"s? I'm looking at a set of 22" X 9"s with 5.75" of backspacing but don't know if they would work with an aftermarket crossmember.
