Re: '62 GMC Suburban "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
Not much progress, but some is better than none .....
Front A-arms diassembled and off to coating. Wasn't planning on coating the A-arms, but since the guy is just right across the parking lot, and I threw them with a bunch of other parts from a customer build. - - - - - -

Re: '62 GMC Suburban "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
Cool
Did you happen to measure the ID after you welded them to see if they shrunk any? That is something I have been wondering about when I do mine.

Re: '62 GMC Suburban "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
You have to use the '88-'98 lower ball joint if you are going to run the '88-'98 spindles and the factory style 6 lug rotors. Most guys that use these conversion parts, use a '67-'72 C20 lower control arm. But Chief wanted to use the '73-'87 control arms with the rubber bushings, so this is how to make that happen. I will be doing the same thing on my '66 Burb. The Chief just beat me to it.

The only new thing lately is the A-arms have been coated a satin chassis black.

Re: '62 GMC Suburban "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
Dude! I haven't been on the forum for quite a while. This is the first time I saw your build. Excited to see what you're doing with this thing. It might even be a little motivation for me. Hopefully we can get these burbs back together and on the road soon.

I dont have too much to report, other than I sandblasted and painted my spindles, oooooweeeee ! : - - - - And most Importantly, I finally had the extra $$ to have the pallet of Suburban seats shipped to me from OKC !!! I used "Uship" to get some quotes, and it was actually pretty reasonable !! Should see them within 5 business days, cant wait to get them. Rocktonka took the time to make sure they were well wrapped...

- Well last week I contacted "U-ship" to get some bids going on shipment of the Burb seats I purchased from Rocktonka.... After about 2 weeks total (bids accepted/shipping), they made it safe and sound !! - - - Rock swears the drivers seat was perfect when it left him .... - - - - - - - I went from NO seats, to all three rows ! - - Turns out, this material is still made....Might have to look into that soon. - - One step closer... - - BIG THANKS AGAIN TO ROCKTONKA FOR ALL HIS HELP AND PATIENCE !!!!
