Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Tunnel turned out looking good Doug....it looks like he cut the toeboard flange off and welded it back on.....did it not fit right?....I thought he had it fitting good...
Made it home just fine...drove in that white crap all the way to Tenn.... Dont forget...none of those brake lines have been tightened...they're just finger tight...

They didn’t fit the toe boards initially, but once we re bent the floor board flanges on day 2 to lower the tunnel 3/4”, they ended up lining up so I just welded them back on. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
We raised $2,000 for hospice. I am humbled by everyone's generosity!
And we had a great meal, using my wife's recipe for baked spaghetti. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Doug ...there is the fitting like I was referring to the other night at your shop...
I think they will fit the proportioning valve(must verify)... and then to the flex line ..and on to the brake hard lines...thus eliminating the moonshine still coils ... im going to order some for Columbus as well...ive just got to verify the thread size in my prop valve... (for correct fitting see smbrouss70 post below)

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
I have no idea of where all the people came from, also have no idea of the distance they traveled.
But it’s really nice to see so many dedicated and skilled people for the good cause together! Every day I checked the FB updates, too bad I couldn’t be there. You may be proud of yourself Doug, and even so all involved!!

Oh, additional T shirt sales increased the donation to $2,600, which we presented this morning. The Lord has blessed. Looks more like a Burb for the moment. |

On the radiator, not sure if you have the clearance on top (mine is a GMC), but I built a pair of standoffs to move my radiator forward about 1" for clearance between my fan and belt drive.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
FAKKY, will do! Usually I only go down once per year.
Russ, come to a Saturday Invitational event at my shop and you can TIG all you want. Next one is March 9. JJ, good to hear from you! Yes, I remember the standoffs and is a potential solution we were discussing at the wire and Fire. Thank you for the reminder. Greg, you shared a lot of detail from Level 7 Suburban build. Luke, who built the transmission tunnel at the wire and Fire, just spent a couple days at Level 7 building a sweet looking cold air intake for a 66 truck with an LS. So there is a good connection for me there. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
That’s a great donation!
1000 miles....hmmm, that’s from my house to the middle of sunny Spain! You guys and girls have lots of work done to the Burb. I start planning, if it is my possibilities, I come over.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Thanks guys. Yes, the Lord was providing and folks were very generous.
For example, Cindy’s sister painted this cool painting of for the raffle. She used Iceburgh’s Burb for the model. I offered the raffle winner of the painting $100 because I really wanted it. He took it and promptly donated that to hospice fund. |

We sold out of T shirts and orders continued to come in, allowing us to increase the donation to Lincolnland Hospice to $2,600.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
You have the same proportioning valve as I do on my Blazer and it is designed for a 45° double flared brake line. The fitting that Greg shows would have to seal at the threads, which is not ideal on a brake system with such high pressures. It would be better to have it seal on the seat of the flare and use a fitting designed for that, like shown below. Here is a list from Summit of available fittings.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Steven thank you for the information and the link to the parts!
And Greg, thanks again for the idea. Due to the larger diameter of the rotor, Burb needed some bigger shop rollers. Sent this pic to some buddies and asked them which wheel looked the best as I was going with one of them....They were diplomatic. Actually the top one doesn’t look bad. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Doug, I've always liked the 5 star type of wheel. The swirl look is UGLY
 , even on the stock vehicle. Since these are rollers, what size are they, and what type will you run later?...Jim
