Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Kees, Jim and Iceburgh, thanks! We had a great time. I was feeling really good about our youth today when a young guy stood up on the crowded bus and offered me his seat.
Then on the way back to the hotel I noticed this sign! |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Got in a little shop time this week end and closed in the end of the other tank bracket.
I think Joedoh was using the magnets that you can switch off, so I ordered a couple. They are pretty handy. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Instead of making a hanger for the rear tank strap attachment, I drilled a hole and welded in a flanged nut. Actually, due to the bracket foot, a drill and bit wouldn't fit, so I made due with a die grinder set up.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Here is the general concept for the rear strap attachment. I will either use a locking nut to lock the bolt in or maybe a stud, locking nut at the top to hold the stud from turning and a nut on either side of the strap. Also need to make a square washer, I think, to give the strap a little more support where it rests on the bolt and washer.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
tank looks great! do you have rubber on the straps? that should keep the tank still.

Tank mounts are nice!
Some things just takes a lot of time

Tank mounting looks good Doug. Slow and steady will get you there. Remember you aren't getting paid

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Had to do the same cut out on the frame for Blake's as well Doug!
A hoop should work just fine...A little cut,grind & weld and good to go!! Mark...

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Hey Mark and Iceburgh, yeah a hoop or reinforced notch will get the clearance needed. Going to wait for the driveshaft to come in first to get a good look at what will work.
Hopefully a notch will work to keep the flat on top since that is where I fabbed the mount for the air valve blocks. And not a big deal if I have to move it. Been studying on exhaust and exiting through running board is best option I can see. Just not enough room to go up and over the axle. So, I will need to move the battery to open up that space. Didn't think ahead enough on that one...doh! |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
A little hump will give you lots of clearance.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Yeah, I too think it will make a lot of difference. Don't want to hoop above too much to stay away from the body. There was enough clearance for the valve block so some hoop above will clear.
Been studying on exhaust. Marc and IIslow went out through the boards so hope to see what they did at exit to not have to reinvent... Ordered an x pipe and flex joints from Jegs then will figure out the rest. The adapter / down pipes Hooker has for their LS swap in 73 - 87 C10 might work for this one. Before ordering them I am trying to find out the pipe dimensions for best guess if it will work. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
So I had some good help today. He said "Grandpa, it sure does take a long time to build these projects. I can remember I was pretty little when you started on the 56 Chevy. When will this one be done?"

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
We've ALL been there Doug I am no different!
It is something we have to deal with in the best way possible, as they say(If it was easy everybody would do it!) good thing is it's metal and it can be cut out,welded and ground down and never know it was changed! Mark..

Nice work on the other side running board sometimes we need to take a step back to see an easier way
