Doug-

I'm sure with your help you aren't too far behind. Yes, I can list the fittings. Someone else asked as well. I should see if I can screen shoot my Summit wish list...That would save some re-typing.

I need all the help I can get! Oh, and my crew is already on it.

Turned so hot out still haven't made it to the shop so that doesn't help.

[youngrodder]

Well I have been working on the Suburban. I decided as much of a pain as it is to put the body back on the frame that it would be best to continue the mock up process. I found myself staring at the frame wondering it this will fit here or if that will fit there. Putting the body back on did prop beneficial to figure out where stuff will fit.

I hade to clearance the flange of the rear wheel tubs to clear the frame notch. I was surprised that the notch didn't stick up any higher then it does. I was able to clearance the firewall to clear the brake pedal. I also confirmed that I don't need a tranny tunnel like I thought so that was a pleasant surprise.

Thanks
Marc

[youngrodder]

To clarify the hole for the brake pedal looks huge but the pedal has a larger mount for the pedal than shown in the pics. I plan to make a small plate that screws to the floor to cover the hole.

I'm heading to Columbus to the Goodguys show this weekend and I'm driving the 48. Looking forward to seeing some people from this site and grabbing some parts for the Suburban.

Good work Marc, body is fitting really well. It sure helps to see it coming together.

Have fun at GG. I have to be in Columbus Friday and we discussed staying over. Decided to head for home after my meeting instead...too much to do.

Thank you...I really wish I would have found 20" for rollers because I can't fit my 13" rotors with big calipers with these ****ty wheels. They look better in pics than in person.

Thanks Doug, it sure does. if you change your mind, check out the crown plaza hotel. It is the host hotel and is a party atmosphere with a lot of cool trucks/cars...

looking very cool, glad you are dodging some bullets!

[oldman3]

Looking good Marc, I would rather have the body on two or three times, than get it painted, etc and then find the problem. Of course I don't have to lift it two or three times...Jim

That looks amazing sits just right. Have fun at the Good guys show.

[youngrodder]

The GG show was a success for many reasons. I decided to drive my 48 this year instead of trailering. Driving is mush more fun. Over 600 miles round trip with no issues. I got to see Bob's (OldNSlow) truck. Man is it nice. The paint turned out great. He has decided to sell it. Oooops did I let that slip.

I did a fair amount of research on wheel and tire sizes for the Suburban.,

I picked up some Delmo LS1 valve cover adapters from Travis or Pro Performance. Travis is great to deal with and he delivered the parts to me at the show and provided a show discount (win/win/win/). I also found a nice set of script valve covers for CHEAP.....Score.

I got to check out and talk with the owner of Delmos latest truck build. It was a very cool truck.

I also picked up the trim piece I needed to fix the one inner trim from the Suburban..

All in all it was 4 days filled with cars and hanging out.

Thanks I appreciate it. I was excited to pick up a few parts for the Suburban and push this build forward. Of 6,000+ cars and trucks we only saw one suburban close to my vision.

I like those adapters with the covers. And your truck! Thanks for sharing the pic's.

Wife and I were in Columbus that Friday for work. Marc was being a good guy, texting me to convince us to join in. Yeah, We should've...just too much to do at home. Thanks again Marc!
