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.
