Thanks Ed, I appreciate the help. Made it to first stop on trip, the in-laws in Sebring, FL (as in THE 12 Hours of Sebring). On the way down (9 hour drive), I was able to take care of some business. I ordered a 18 circuit Painless harness from Summit. Gave Stan at ECE a call for a tank and tranny crossmember (man, I knew I shoulda bought some of their stock!). Stan is doing a 6.0 install in his Suburban (I think I passed him this week!) I was telling him about all the issues with stock manifolds. He told me that he as been working with Sanderson to develop some new headers for the 5.3/6.0. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Stan also said that they had a great time doing the OverHaulin espisode. He said that there was a lot more work in the truck than was shown in the 40 minutes of air time. The truck was really worse than they thought, ie they had to replace the rockers, braces, cab corners.... He also said that all of the customizing ideas came from the guy's wife (Note to self: Be carful what you tell the little lady you would want to do to your truck if you could!) Stan would tell you all this himself, but he's to busy selling parts ![]() Rob

Sanderson's making custom headers for GenIII swaps? I had ECE's Sanderson shorties on my 350 before the swap, loved 'em...I'm using MAC shorties but I sure wouldn't mind going to a longtube eventually

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
I'm using 2005 truck manifolds and have no issues on the passenger side and will only need minor grinding on the drivers side to get the clearance I need. I'm using the S&P mounts. I tried the EC ones but they told me they are specific to 2 wheel drives and wouldn't work for me.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
On my LT1 swap in Project Slow Build I had sandersons build me a set of Semi-shorties andd I also moved my motor back 2" tward the fire wall since their is no dist. to worry about. They also coated my tranny cross member for me when I stopped by to get the first set of trial headers. Great people over their and they are all hot rodders so it made for a fun visit.
PS. the burb is looking great! Kevin LFD Inc. |

Got back from vacation and found some more bling-bling on the porch!
Painless 18 ckt harness, lower shock brackest for front shocks (modifying because they hang to low), and sheet metal to fix the floors (thanks Ed, MotherTruckers). I only need about 2 inches from each one (not that I'm complaining).

Quick update: Making a little progress but no pics. Pulled old gas tank and fuel lines. (prepping for my ECE SS tank). Got it up on jackstands and will start rocker and floor repair, gas tank lid install and tail light modifications this weekend. Pics to follow.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
Thanks Yukon, I've been planning this for a year. Hopefully it will move fairly "quickly". I guess I need to come up with a name for this project, but don't have any ideas -- anybody got any suggestions?

how much for the painless harness - let me know how you like it, how it installs and whether you are required to keep *any* of the old wiring in the truck (if so, what? dome light? anything else?)

A little more progress. I got the electric gas pedal installed (wish the rest of the project could go this easy!). Lined up passenger side doors to ensure good gaps prior to beginning rust repair. I will start on the rockers and floors this week.........

I welded a 1/4" plate to the firewall. That allowed me to install it in more of a factory location. Make sure you drill and tap the plate for your mounting bolts prior to welding it in.

A few more pics for the rust that need repaired. It looks like most of it was caused from a leaky winshield gasket

Update: Removed most of the passengers side rocker, part of the floor board and the innner kick panel. I will finish removing the rest tomorrow and then start fitting the new panels.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
Finally got a little more work done on the rockers/floor this week. I've got everything cut out and most of the new parts fitted. I'll screw/tack them all into place, put the door back on for a test fit, and then if all lines up, time to weld it all up and go to the other side.
