If you get this I would love to get a close look at it. The 348/409 block is rare! Real neat camper. Hope you get it.

It's actually a 305 v6,still a cool motor!

pickup67man · 03-30-2011, 09:56 PM

I hope the reserve isn't too high. And if you do get it and need engine parts I have a V6 that doesn't run but is complete. Very odd engine if you study it close.

maynardtruckin · 03-30-2011, 10:26 PM

ok guess to just look quick and not read didn't pay again. o well.

jbclassix · 03-30-2011, 10:50 PM

Well it already went over my price range and the reserve isn't met yet, but, MAN! That color scheme ROCKS!!!! I am gonna have to do my research on it now, because I have never seen that silver (or grey) and that yellow (green?) together. And I know GMC had some wacky combos!

Be very careful, you get a C/30 and 1/2 ton pickups will never feel or look the same again.

You know a man has not lived until he has jumped in a dually pickup and drug a trailer down the road haulin something somwhere.

I have over a million miles behind me in big trucks, wreckers, and pickups pulling trailers, still want more. Its a sickness.

Thus I say, stay away. Or forever those 1/2 and 3/4 ton trucks shall appear weak and flacid!!!

jbclassix · 03-31-2011, 12:24 AM

Not a 1 Ton, but it is a dually!

It is nice towing with a dually though! Especially with a Goose neck or 5th wheel!

For a height reference, that is me in the green jeans at 6'2"!

You could so get your road rage on with that thing.

Flip me the bird from your Prius, go ahead!

That one of those original "Hybird" vehicles ain't it? Maybe the Prius is it's baby.

maynardtruckin · 04-05-2011, 06:22 PM

cool!

pickup67man · 04-05-2011, 08:42 PM

I would be afraid to move, I've got too much junk & yard ornaments to deal with. How are you going to move the suburban with the large hole in the side?

I plan to have the "C" pillar section at least tacked in for structure support before then, and then it will just go on a car trailer as a shell... All the parts will go in the moving truck. I think the Suburban is the EASY part of this move!

justcuz · 04-06-2011, 03:17 PM

1. I never realized how thick the early sub frame were.
2. At least it has a Dana 60 up front.
3. You still gonna be in the heavy equipment repair business?
4. Where in California are you moving too? Not many active mines in this area I can think of (So Cal) unless you are moving to the desert.

Desert, yes... Mining, NO!!!!

Ridgecrest, CA... which is close to my family so I will be able to help my brother with his truck (pictured a few pages back)!

justcuz · 04-06-2011, 04:28 PM

Cool, Lots of nice places to 4 wheel in the Sierras and Death Valley in Fall, Spring and Winter. Ridgecrest was/is the habitat of a lot of druggies so make sure you keep your stuff carefully protected and locked. They love to rip off garages for tools and anything they can sell for a quick buck. Hopefully you can find a place to work that is not highly visible. I suppose if most of your family is around there you'll get the lowdown pretty fast.

my4by2 · 04-05-2011, 08:56 PM

Diff cover looks great man - nice touch taking the color off the fin edges!!!

Mt Man Chad · 04-08-2011, 11:28 AM

Can you post some pics of your 4x4 burb driveline please!
Tcase crossmember, front drive shaft / rear carrier bearing setup?
I'm trying to determine if I need to grab any missing parts before daa Burb comes come.

Thanks!
Chad

This is the only picture I can find right now... I sold the TH350 and got a SM 465 from another board member, and the t-case will be rebuilt with a new 10 spline input. As far as the carrier bearing, I am fairly certain that the 4WD suburbans did not have one. I may be wrong though. This probably doesn't help you much.

maynardtruckin · 04-09-2011, 02:18 AM

depends on trans length. The sm465 and 205 were shorter than the th350 or 400 and might require one. the 68 burb I had was set up for one but it was a th350 when I got it and it was torn all apart so not to much to go on.

jbclassix · 04-09-2011, 11:23 PM

Closer!

Also, I found a picture of my wifes truck. Right now it is sitting at my brothers house in Cali. Once we are settled in I am going to start in on this ASAP. For some reason I cant just limit myself to one project at a time! The only reason I may hold off on the truck is I have a car to finish and sell, which may just fund her truck! The car is sitting in Cali too.
