shifted my attention back to the rear for now...trying to get some square tubing ordered for when i get the rear gas tank and floor together... and some sheet metal to get to mounting the front fender wells to the fenders.

so for now i just got the anti squat brackets in...i was seriously dreading this and putting it off. after trying to do with it a grinder and hand punch....i ordered an air hammer and it made it a breeze. chiseled the heads off and used the punch attatchment to drive it right out.

**kev2809** · 02-28-2022, 09:02 PM

also got hitched and went on a cruise with the kiddos.....found this nice truck at the venue so i had to take a pic with it.

getting into more independent contracts with my dump truck business so working on the truck might come a little slower than it has been until that picks up

Hey, Congratulations!

Like me, you will just have to work on it when you can. A little here, a little there and you will be surprised how quick little projects get done.

Congrats brother! Beautiful picture.

**kev2809** · 03-03-2022, 02:44 PM

thanks yall!

doing little things for now...finally got the an -6 house and fittings on for the trans to radiator. think i will work on getting the fuel lines ran right now until i get the rear frame and axle cleaned up and painted. needing some help on getting the right fittings together.

**kev2809** · 03-03-2022, 02:45 PM

so i have the 2 fuel rail fittings on the motor (return style). i will be running the stock filter. from my research the stock filter has 16mmx1.5 threads (correct me if im wrong). if im right i have the fittings in the cart ready to order. im guessing the hose route goes like this - big line on the fuel rail is the feed line, that goes to the filter on the frame, then to the big feed line on the sending unit. smaller line on the rail is the return, which runs all the way to the small line on the sending unit. my issue is this, i have no idea what size an -6 adapters i need for the sending unit. im attatching some and a part number to help...

**kev2809** · 03-03-2022, 02:47 PM

this is the sending unit.. Dorman 692-056 which is listed for an 88 chevy truck (suburban). the big line on the left looks like it runs to the fuel tube that has the fuel cap. 2nd line (big line) is the feed line that runs to the fuel filter, then to big line on the fuel rail. 3rd line is the return line, small fuel line on the rail runs to this. 4th line on the end is just a vent hose?

I can't help on that. I have never used that style of unit. You may have to post the question over on the LSx Swaps forum....

**kev2809** · 03-03-2022, 05:32 PM

ya i think your right. i just didnt want to keep posting dumb questions over there lol.

**HO455** · 03-03-2022, 07:12 PM

I believe that the last vent line should go to the fuel evap system in the OE application and through the charcoal canister it would vent the tank. This would be in a system with an unvented gas cap.

The large vent is used to vent the tank during fill up.

You may want to look at some later model Burbans and investigate how they vent their fuel tanks. Maybe you will be able to incorporate some of those components in your truck and enjoy the benefits of a unvented fuel cap.

Keep up the good work.

**kev2809** · 03-16-2022, 03:48 PM

got a little progress over the last week. got all my fuel fittings in and will be hopefully getting the fuel lines run this week if i get a chance. got the tank in and also cleaned up the frame and rear end. also ordered mostly everything to get the rear back in.... new bags, panhard bar, weld in shock mounts, and bag spacers. plan is to re weld the top mounts instead of cutting and lowering them. hopefully the bag spacer will work and give me some of my lift i was missing.

BAD1916 · 03-16-2022, 06:30 PM

Looking good. Hopefully those spacers work out for you.

**kev2809** · 03-17-2022, 11:26 AM

quick question, putting my drums back on after cleaning up and painting. i noticed my drums dont have the window for the adjuster, its just solid piece. do i have the wrong drums or am i missing something? i rebuilt everything about 8 years ago but they have zero miles....and i didnt notice then.

**LockDoc** · 03-17-2022, 03:43 PM

They weren't punched out. There should be some indentations where they should be but you can't just punch them out because they are not cut through far enough. You have to drill them.

LockDoc

**kev2809** · 03-17-2022, 04:32 PM

i dont see anything at all to punch or drill out. the other one has what looks like a weight welded to it. but its smooth on the inside

**3757chevy** · 03-17-2022, 05:18 PM

I put new drums on my Burb last year and the new 6 lug drums were the same way. What a pain. I figure I'll drill a couple 3/8" holes and cut out the rest to an oval shape.

**LockDoc** · 03-17-2022, 05:51 PM

Here is a picture.

From the outside of the drum to the first cut is 5/8" to the second cut is 1". This is the front but I would think they would be the same. About an inch long.

That looks exactly like my old ones ,right down to the rivets.

**kev2809** · 03-17-2022, 06:58 PM

so I can just drill and cut my own hole like the one above?

**kev2809** · 03-18-2022, 12:05 PM

yup that's what I did. bought some from oreillys and used them as a template to mark and drill out the holes. easy work, thanks fellas
