post your 67-72 4x4

[KyFarm]

Ok, here's my new to me '69. Currently its getting front and rear axles from a '72 which will give it power disc brakes and 3.08 gears (I think). Getting the TH350 and NP205 from the '72, the 3 on the column is getting retired. Getting a tilt steering column from the '72. Already had a 350ci in it. Gonna wait about a year then next years project will be a motor rebuild or crate. Probably gonna put the 33 x 12.5 x 15's from '72 on it as well.

What, where is the nice rubber fender flares, they are probably rare, no just kidding, the paint is sooo nice compared to before, glad the blck stripe is gone. Is it a factory color, had a 3/4 ton 71 orange too not as pretty though.

[wrwelton]

Yes this is a factory color. It was my Dads truck and he gave it to me when i was 16. I am now 48. Long time coming. Thanks

Its been awhile since I updated and had show off my brand new (nos) warn bumper that i just bought....gotta build new brackets to fit so disregard the c-clamps. Just had to mock it up to get it close and drink 1 beer (ha) and check it out. I plan on having it chromed too.

Really nice truck man! It's gonna be a looker for sure

[mud.man.rj]

Hey 68Maniac what lift and tire size on the Beast, I know it looks a bit higher in front due to no motor but it sits so nice, going to be bad a$$.

[68Maniac]

Thanks guys for the replys! Lift consist of Sky's 4 1/2" perch drop, 73-87 8" soft ride springs Rear has 8" soft rides with a shackle flip. It has a 8.1l vortec/4l80e and np 205 in the truck as you see in the pic's. Springs sagged a little some when I installed the 8.1. I work in the oilfield and stay gone from home quite a bit so it has been a very slowwww build.

Where or how would I add that flickr link to my signature?

[1968vetL-71]

My old 72 burb! Factory BB, a/c front/rear, tilt, tach, was an original 2wd and I swapped to a 4wd frame. First pic is with 3/4 tons, 12" springs, 3" body lift with 42" super swampers. The truck drove really nice!! 2nd pic is with 2-1/2 ton rockwells, with 6.38'a, lockers front and rear and 44" boggers. This thing was a blast in the river!! I should have some better pics somewhere

[DavTay]

Still needs a lot of work, just put on some new rally's


With the old wheels (Yuck)

[plummen]

Not the original color, not sure what color this is?
Originally olive green, might paint it white. or green w/white roof.
It was an original 307, 3 on the tree.
It has a mercruiser 350 in it now with a SM465 tranny.
Yes, actually a re-manufacturer mercruiser boat motor.
The block is from the 1998 so I don't think it has that many miles on it.

I think I'm going to repair the rust and make it a daily.
I want to remove the home made bumpers and install some used bumpers.

The toolbox was made by a boat mfg. actually has a live well in it, how crazy it that?

[KyFarm]

Its an interesting color because it seems to be the same as mine. A better pic of mine is one page sooner. I keep getting asked what the name of the color is and i just them the "UK Blue", which works pretty well here in kentucky. I did not paint it, I bought it that way.

I do like the white roofs and would love to see a short step-side painted that way. Please post a pic if you do go with that paint scheme

What do you know, a step-side with a live well and a mercruiser. Are you sure it won't float?

[68burbanontherocks]

Heres mine right before i tore it all down to build a tube frame chassis 4 link king coils and a different color!
68 suburban 540 BBC 2 1/2 ton rockwells, ouverson 47spline shafts, ouverson pinion brakes, th400 twin stick np205, psc hydro steering, high angle driveline 42 degree cv driveshafts, 54" boggers 20" stazwork double beadlock rims, yadda yadda yadda
