Re: '62 GMC Suburban is on it's way.....
Have your packages mailed using my name and tell her your collecting stuff to eventually be shipped to me. Put them on yoiur truck as a test fit for me and paint them so they'll be preserved before going to the rusty North. We then loose contact because I`ve moved and VOILA you get to keep the parts! You can blame me for the entire situation.

Re: '62 GMC Suburban "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
If you can get some Kroil to put down the cylinders. Soak them for about an hour, spin the engine over and soak again until the next day. Do this again the second day and on the third day spin it over and then check compression. If it's stuck rings the Kroil will free them up. At least it has for me a few times.

Re: '62 GMC Suburban "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
Good score on the front clip....no spindles or control arms though?
Too bad about the compression on the 292. Hopefully it is just a stuck ring or two, and you can get them freed up. Too bad you're so far away. I have a neighbor that has a nice running '72 350/TH350 for reasonable.

Re: '62 GMC Suburban "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
Hey Captain.....
I have the a-arms already.... New bushings in boxes, as well as 88-98 BJ's. Also, a machinist buddy is making up some collars (as we speak) to weld in the LCA's. Left over slindles are on the shelf as well from a lowering job. Just gonna need some loaded calipers, hoses, bearings, and tierods and I should be good to go ! Posted via Mobile Device

Re: '62 GMC Suburban "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
Today I pressure washed the engine, after soaking with Oven Cleaner (works better than degreaser, btw) .... Then pulled it apart.
- - No sludge what so ever on head or in crankcase/pan. Lots of carbon, probably when the carb lost its main jet (see C-10 thread) and was running super rich, which probably washed the cylinder walls. Anyway, the pistons are ALREADY .060 OVER , so hopefully they are straight... You can still see the hone marks, and there is no ridge...bearings are near perfect. So, once I remove the crank (balancer puller is at shop) my machine shop is gonna mic everything, and go from there....Plan is to re-ring at minimum. An engine kit with pistons is relatively cheap, so if I go there, itll be flat tops at least.

Re: '62 GMC Suburban "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
just remember that oven cleaner is lye. if you are worried about anything(corrosive) wash it down with vinegar and then water after.

Re: '62 GMC Suburban "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
Yeap, for sure.
Especially on the alum. I've heard people using it on frames as well too.

Re: '62 GMC Suburban "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
Believe it or not, just soap and water and Scotch Brite pads.
Actually, step it up to the HD auto body style of pads. Picked some up at Walmart, with a nice handle too. In some areas, there are blue and tan under the primer, before the white. It's time consumings, but with some cold ones.....it gets done !!

Re: '62 GMC Suburban "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
Cool!
Is he going to cut the LCA's for you also? If I may make a suggestion......I would cut a slight step in the OD of those collars. That will serve 2 purposes. One, it will help keep the collar in plane with the LCA. Second, it will give you a safety factor if the lip is placed on the bottom side. That's just how I plan on doing mine when the time comes.

Re: '62 GMC Suburban "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
I hear what you're saying about the a collar that is a good idea. I'm confident in my welding that they will never come out of the lower a arm.
I should be able to keep it nice and square. I plan to enlarge the opening myself. I know the dude is really busy but I'm gonna go in asking about the collar..... Posted via Mobile Device while driving thru a dangerous winding road

Re: '62 GMC Suburban "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
Well I'm back with only a few pics. Not time lately for much, but making ends meet ...
- - I need to order some more spot weld cutters, but decided to try out HarborFreights $5 one. Works great ... but at 3/8", its just too dam big. For under the cowl, I can get away with it ... still too large of a diameter. Both fresh boxes need to come off to repair some rot on the body... - - - ooopsie.... - - My buddy and his wife actually put in some more time into removing the primer.... - - - - - - - -
