Re: 68 GMC 4x4 Suburban build up
Glad to see you are still giving it heck!! I bought that K30 and pulled the drivetrain about a week or two ago and will get the axles next. Anyone want a nice rust free 81 K30, come get it or it'll get crushed!! I am concerned about the front lift? I am sceeerd I'll need a ladder to get in it?! Looking good!!

Re: 68 GMC 4x4 Suburban build up
cool build i like the buckets! you need to weld a bracket to the back so the arm rest/seat back doesnt flip all the way back... dont know if you thought about it or not...

Re: 68 GMC 4x4 Suburban build up
Looks like yours is almost a twin to my recently purchased 68 Chevy 4X4 burb.
Nice truck!

Re: 68 GMC 4x4 Suburban build up
Life has been crazy busy with competing as a strongman, getting married, starting a business etc but I am going this afternoon to pick up my baby and bring her home from my moms ranch! Time to get serious

Re: 68 GMC 4x4 Suburban build up
Got it loaded up and just about in the driveway... That might not seem like too big of a deal but it was parked on the side of a huge hill no brakes, no winch, giant burb... Got it done though! Feels good to have it home... Now to get the 454/th400/np205 over here and get this thing going...

Re: 68 GMC 4x4 Suburban build up
Well if you want a solid runner with good torque that runs on it's side. Keep the TBI. If you want to make some power, heads, cam, intake and a carb.

Re: 68 GMC 4x4 Suburban build up
Been trying to track down a 14bolt full floater that isn't $600
Put a power brake booster on it and been tightening up some loose ends as I am going to get it running/driving as is with the current 327 Also noticed the hard brake line is busted so I am ordering a all new set of stainless lines and extended stainless steel lines from Inline Tube next week and replacing the sending unit in the gas tank. Something that concerns me is the clutch won't return maybe the pressure plate is stuck from sitting? All the return springs, etc are hooked up

On the clutch do you mean that the pedal is on the floor? The pressure plate doesn't normally stick unless it goes over center. The clutch disk is what sticks from sitting and in that case it just won't release when you push the pedal down. The pedal still works as it should. LockDoc

Does it actually release though? Can you have someone roll the truck with the trans in gear and the clutch pushed in? Are you sure all of the linkage is connected? It sounds like the linkage might be disconnected somewhere. LockDoc

Re: 68 GMC 4x4 Suburban build up
Kalle, I have a 14 bolt FF that is already set up for a '68 burb.
I'd make you a deal on it if you want to make a trip down to SoCal.

Re: 68 GMC 4x4 Suburban build up
What gear ratio and where in SoCal? I will probably take you up on that! We visit family in San Diego a few times a year

It was disconnected and I found where and reconnected it. I will have to look into it more and deal with getting the brakes working first

Re: 68 GMC 4x4 Suburban build up
I don't know the gear ratio, but I could pull the cover off and figure out.
I am in the Temecula area just off Winchester Rd on I-15.
