Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
Looking good, I enjoy the teardown phase. I just wish it went back together as fast!
Still working on shipping rates, thought I had it nailed down (cheap too), but the shipping company (fedex freight), isn't sticking to what was quoted. ![]() I could pile the seats around the 283/PG and just ship one big ass pallet to ya... ![]() ![]() ![]() Enjoy the vacation!!

Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
That C20 crossmember isn't going to work for you John. When you get back take a look at the LCA shafts and how they mount. I suppose you could always fab some saddles and weld them on, but I think getting them in the exact location would be a big PITA.
Have fun and see you in a week. ![]()

Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
The crossmember will bolt up to the frame, but there are no saddles for the round C10 LCA shafts. The '63-'66 C20 LCA shafts are flat and bolt to the crossmember with standard hex head bolts.

Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
No. The '63-'66 C20 lower control arm cross shafts are flat, so there are no saddles on the crossmember. The C10 lower control arm cross shafts are round and require a saddle on the crossmember to locate them exactly where they need to be

Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
Well, we flew in last night. Arrived back in CA (San Jose) at about 7:45. Pilot must of been in a hurry ... We actually arrived almost 45 min early.
The Maui airport is evidently a short one, because the pilot had to get on it before he even straightened it up on the runway ... thought he was gonna get a little sidewayz .... The wind at take off had the wife almost in tears ... All went well ... and we had a great time !!! Upon waking up this morning, I had my first present to open... Actually our dog, Jacob helped out with it. - - ![]() - One of CaptainFabs 60-62 booster mounts....Thanks again, Cap - ![]()

You have that elusive pan that protects the front section of the engine between the rad and motormounts. Some trucks do most don't.
