Apache63 · 01-08-2012, 12:53 PM

I´m looking for a high hump transmission tunnel, i need the bigger one of the two parts! only that part that bolt on not the part that welded in!

dthela · 01-08-2012, 03:08 PM

The Body is in rust free condition , only surface rust !!

Apache63 · 02-18-2012, 01:46 PM

Found some time to work on my Burb today , it was real fun to work on that Burb , everything worked like greased (my too) , great!

Built a "NEW" frame for the Body !

so here it is what i do today on my Truck.........

the new Frame , weld some steel together , i like it!

The Old Frame , should be updated with some "NICE Porterbuilt Stuff!

The Body alone on Jackstands , not for a long Time!

The NEW Frame under the Body with Jackstands (did i miss something)

Some "walk around" Pic´s

S**T , i should call the "AAA" to fix that damn "Tire".....

Next will be the Frame .........Monday!!!!!

I see from the white caster you found out how much these beasts weigh! You probably have extra window latches because they took out the front sliders.

dthela · 02-23-2012, 04:00 AM

did you extend the height of the rear stand due to burbs higher back end?

Great progress! I don't know much about diecast models, but it seems like a good deal to me.

**Captainfab** · 02-27-2012, 02:03 AM

Pat
Did you get that engine from a reputable person? Reason I ask is that the GM 330hp HO350 engine comes with the Vortec heads, which your engine does not have.....just sayin.
