Re: The Family Truckster- 66 Suburban Build
Yeah I was pretty shocked when I cam across it locally, once I looked at it I knew I had to have it.

Re: The Family Truckster- 66 Suburban Build
Haven’t updated in a while but I have been busy the last couple of weekends working on the Burb. Got the rear suspension all buttoned up. I added some Ridetech HQ shocks and changed direction on the rear brakes. I initially was going with the Captain Fab brackets and some Wilwood D52 calipers but I decided that I really should run a emergency brake so I sent the Wilwood calipers back and picked up a Wilwood Dynalite Rear Disc Conversion Kit with the internal parking brake. This kit also makes it easier to get the rear wheels on and off as the caliper mounts in the middle of the rotor instead of towards the top like the D52’s did. I’ll be listing the captain fab brackets and rotors in the for sale section. I also made a decision to not run the rear wheels with a spacer or adapter so I called up Travis at Pro Performance and ordered 2 new custom built polished TTII’s with the exact backspacing I needed. This was really the best option I had! I really like the way the TTII’s look on my burb and didn’t want to spend a ton of money at this time on a expensive set of billets that would only look marginally better! Just waiting for the wheels to show up now.
I also picked up a rear seat for the Burb from member richard2717. It’s a pretty nice seat out of a squarebody K5. It’s got the right brackets to easily mount it to the burb rear floor. It’ll eventually get recovered along with the original front seat.

Re: The Family Truckster- 66 Suburban Build
FYI to have an e-brake with the D52 brackets all you need are the '76-'78 Eldorado calipers.

Thanks Seth, can't wait to see how yours turns out after the suspension overhaul.

Re: The Family Truckster- 66 Suburban Build
No test drive until the LS is in and running. I pulled the front clip off on Sunday in preparation for the LS swap. I need to pull that old greasy straight 6 out so I can clean and paint the frame rails and front suspension before stuffing the LS in. The 4L80e has been dropped off to be rebuilt as well.

Re: The Family Truckster- 66 Suburban Build
Current pic of how the Burb looks. Still have to pull the steering shaft so I can get the driver side inner fender out of the way. Ran out of gas on Sunday and didn’t finish it

The blue arrow in the picture shows the slot left from removing the smaller panel that covers the steering shaft as it passes thru the panel.

Re: The Family Truckster- 66 Suburban Build
Oh and these showed up today! Really like the way they look and the extra backspacing makes for a nice looking lip! Went with a 20x10 with 4.5” BS, going to trim the fender lip about a half inch to give me some clearance on the outside of the wheel well. Definitely won’t rub on the inside anymore!

Re: The Family Truckster- 66 Suburban Build
Oh yea! What are the specs on the LS you're throwing in? I can't recall what all you had planned for your truck. I really need to chase this lead on a 6.0/4l80e that I have before it gets away. Those wheels look great!

Re: The Family Truckster- 66 Suburban Build
Finally got the old greasy straight 6 and 3 on the tree pulled form the Burb this weekend! Now comes the fun part of cleaning up and painting the frame before stuffing the LS in. I’ll be listing the old drivetrain in the parts forum so if anybody is interested, let me know.

Re: The Family Truckster- 66 Suburban Build
If I had the cash and you weren't so far away, I would relieve you of the engine, trans and the rear end.
Oh well! Not get that frame cleaned up and that LS in there!
