Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Here's Friday's work. One rear frame rail welded and ground and one just tacked together.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Yesterday's snow storm kinda slowed things down today but we did get one rear frame rail mocked into position.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
We made a little progress the last couple of days. First we made some brackets for the batwing crossmember and got them welded on. We aren't finished with them yet. Then we cut out one of the shockwave brackets.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Very nice brackets. Did you use a plasma cutter?

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Thanks A.D. I just used a cut off wheel in a die grinder and a sanding disk.
We made a spacer for between the lower shock mount and the shockwave bracket. The we made upper and lower brackets for the shockwave

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
I just found your build thread. Very interesting for sure.
My in-laws owned some property in Dresden about 25 years ago and they planned to build out there. All I remember is that Dresden seemed like the middle of nowhere (no disrespect intended). Are both your Burbs Canadian in origin? Greg.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Greetings from Cambridge, I am in awe as much as I am perplexed at what you are doing. Really looking forward to seeing this one progress!

Another job of someone knocking it out of the park, some talent being displayed here.

We had to make a small notch for the driveshaft. Next we got the upper and lower shockwave mounts for the rear tacked in place. Then we got started making bump stop brackets.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Well Friday went well and we finished the rear frame turn downs. Today however did not go as well. First the air compressor blew a head gasket then my mig welder screwed up. The wire keeps getting jammed inside the nozzle. We did manage to tack the reenforcing plates over the joints

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
the bonus is that the rear floor isn't rusty-since its wood!
your rust repair looks about as bad as mine was on my 64 sub...( some shots of it here: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=448681&page=3 ) are you going to just get some repro rockers and fab up a new floor?

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
I like the color on the Burb. Rust repair will keep you busy a day or two.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Took a couple better pictures of the rusty rockers and floor. We got the truck stripped and a bunch of parts piled up.
