Puzzle pieces.

I can't believe I just drilled a hole in my gas tank.

I can fix it with A-N bulkhead fitting with a hose barb attachment.

Bolted up the reshaped 72 Suburban fuel filler neck.

Ran out of time before I could hook up the hoses.

I'd check in on the suspension forum while the bed is still off and see if they think it'll work fine. There are several guys very knowledgeable with bags that could help confirm it's okay or if some adjustment is needed...

Good progress! Getting closer

Details, Details... Drew every part you add just seems like it was suppose to be there. Keep up the work.

Drew, do you think the OE fuel cap will cause a service engine soon light?

I'll need a 72 SEALED cap, or tune it out when I get my cat delete tune on the computer.

Looking good. I think your suspension travel should be ok. It's not like you plan on driving this thing through fields or anything.

Wait...you mean you're NOT planning to use this as a hay-hauler??

drewskiren · 10-16-2011, 12:47 AM

Saturday night picture time.

I spent a while cleaning up the shop and reading the latest Hot Rod magazine, but I did get the fuel filler hoses hooked up finally. (I had to take out the inlet and cut it shorter which meant I had to weld another reducer on to fit the larger new hose) - wasting time.

Then I moved on to fabbing up these crazy little brackets to attach to the axle to attach the ride height sensors to. I'm walking back out to paint them black so they will be dry to put on Sunday.

coggonobrien · 10-16-2011, 01:04 AM

is the hose rubbing on the cab sheet metal?

Nope, I bent the edge over so if it ever did hit it would only be rubbing on a curved sheetmetal surface. And I put the hose clamp strategically so the clamp would actually hit first.

drewskiren · 10-16-2011, 06:24 PM

I finished up the sensor mounting today and here are the pics.

I still need to weld the shock mounts to the axle tubes, install the e-brake cables, rotors, and calipers. All that can be done from underneath, so I may try to throw the bed on soon. Where's Igor and his buddies???

VA72C10 · 10-16-2011, 07:51 PM

Looks clean for all that's going on there. Nice work!

It looks factory!

Just a little sumpin sumpin.

This is just with a battery sitting on the ground so I can troubleshoot it before I get too far. My rear air lines are crossed for one thing, but hey, 2 days ago I had no suspension.

CowboyProtectionUnit · 10-17-2011, 01:59 AM

Ooooo so saweett!!!!

VA72C10 · 10-17-2011, 01:59 AM

Nice!!!! Seems to have a decent amount of travel. Not as much as I've seen on some but probably plenty for a smooth ride and you're not laid out like some guys who have to raise it 6-7" just to be able to turn their tires

71Sleeper · 10-17-2011, 02:12 AM

Nice...I think it will be just right.

mcbassin · 10-17-2011, 08:51 AM

Nice work on the fuel filler and the suspension! Thanks for sharing the pictures and video.

**67cheby** · 10-17-2011, 09:47 AM

**oldman3** · 10-17-2011, 10:02 AM

noonzor · 10-17-2011, 10:39 AM

Is it me or is that hose laying on a sharp edge? I can't tell what that is, but it just looks like it might not last. Other then that, this thing is looking sharp!

**67cheby** · 10-17-2011, 11:55 AM

someone else already asked the same thing, if you look close you can see he has rolled the edge over

noonzor · 10-17-2011, 11:59 AM

it may just be me, but id still slit some rubber hose and cover the edge just to make sure. even though it does look like theres a good roll on the edge. just my .02

I'm with you on that one. A little security never hurts.
