I put a temporary cover on my console lid.

**3757chevy** · 07-04-2022, 09:54 PM

Happy Independence Day.

**3757chevy** · 08-16-2022, 10:39 PM

Drove the Burb to car night. Was raining off and on so we only had 6 show up.

fourspeedwagon · 08-17-2022, 09:33 AM

Very cool. Still fun I’m sure even with just a few.

Looks like they mostly missed the memo on “car” night. 🤓

Whats the significance of the 44K truck? Mileage?

Yeah! The guy with Camaro drives a Tacoma most of the time.

It works better for fuel injected motors. https://www.bgprod.com/catalog/gasol...ystem-cleaner/ Apparently he wanted to practice painting on corrugated tin cause he painted the 44K side first.

**3757chevy** · 08-22-2022, 01:24 AM

Spent the day working on the Burb. Redid my console lid.(again)

**3757chevy** · 08-22-2022, 01:29 AM

While replacing the run channel and window felts I found the clunking sound in the left rear quarter panel. There was a hammer with the handle up in what would be the 4th door. Every time I would turn a corner it would tip one way or the other.

Looks like you have some work ahead of you...

I bet that hammer will clean up pretty good. Kind of neat looking.

Yeah just a lil surface rust on the hammer. I do have some work ahead of me. The big box is a full carpet kit the other boxes have door weatherstrips and threshold strips.

**3757chevy** · 08-23-2022, 01:05 AM

Oh yeah , you might recognize one of my headliner panels laying on the carpet box.

**3757chevy** · 10-15-2022, 11:29 PM

I changed the gas tank in the Burb today. Out with the old in with the new.

fourspeedwagon · 10-16-2022, 04:55 PM

Somehow I missed the reason for the tank. Was the old one rusty or are you getting ready for fuel injection or?

Just was curious because I am still trying to decide which way to go with my fuel tank on my ‘68 burban, but I’m collecting parts to swap a 5.3 in.

The old sending unit didn't work and the bottom of the tank is all beat up . Plus I was having to change the fuel filter once a month.

**3757chevy** · 11-02-2022, 09:48 PM

Last month I started getting parts together to rebuild the front suspension. I had to borrow some 3/4 drive sockets and rachets to rebuild the control arm shafts .

**3757chevy** · 11-02-2022, 09:52 PM

I had to grind and drill the rivets in the top ball joint to drive them out. I borrowed a ball joint press to replace the lowers .

**3757chevy** · 11-02-2022, 09:55 PM

I painted them up and ordered in new bumpers from from Classic Parts.

Looks good!

Those replacement bumpers look like they will give you a little more travel.

I installed them Yesterday , they are direct replacement . Install went way easier than I expected.

**HO455** · 11-09-2022, 03:44 PM

Just gotta love projects that go easier than expected. Good work!

You weren't exaggerating when you said the old fuel tank was beat up. It looks to be about a 10 gallon tank at this point.

Thanks. Yeah I don't think the tank can be salvaged.

I replaced the heater control cables Today. Yesterday I replaced the bushings in a set of trailing arms I had. Now they are ready for install.
