Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
Got the seat brackets blasted and painted (POR15). Will probably take them to the upholsterer tomorrow. I also made a little progress on the tail lights, but I'm not quite ready to post pics yet. But I'll put it this way, there's no turning back now.

Hart Rod, in your opinion what's the best way to ensure no scuffs on door hinges and their bolts? As difficult as lining doors up can be, after you paint these components you're sure to mar or scuff them. Do you paint this part after the doors are already on?

More pics of seat bracket. I made quite a bit of progress on the tail lights, but should really hit paydirt tomorrow. I will post LOTS of pictures tomorrow night, for now this is the best that I can do,

It's pretty straight forward. Just lay them on top of the seat cushion (I'm sure he put a little glue on them to hold them in place). Haven't tested them yet, maybe sometime this week. R

Got my center console today from BIGJAKE97. It looks almost good enough to use as is. If I hadn't planned on putting cupholders in the armrest, I probably would. Thanks again JAKE.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
OK, I know I have been saying I was going to do a write up and post pictures of my tail light mod for the last month or so........however work, kids, life have taken most of my free time. However, I got a little time tonight and I'll try to catch everyone up with where I'm at. I'm not done yet, but I'm getting close.
The first thing I did when I started thinking about this project was to get a truck bed end and started wacking on it to see the body lines and shapes were going to line up. I was really suprised on how close they were.I fiigured it was doable with a "little" work. ![]()

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
Initially I was going to just cut the tail lights in and make them line up with the tailgate. But the more I look at it I realized that was going to work because the truck tail lights are straight and the Burb tail gate has a slight curve to it. HHHMMMM, so what to do???? Well, I bought a tail gate skin from Mar-K and to play around with.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
The Mar-K tailgate skin definitely helped me get the project going. With it, I was able to get both tail lights lined up and in postion and it helped me figure out what I was going to have to do to the suburban tailgate. For those with weak stomachs, you might want to turn away, because I'm getting ready to start wacking on some really nice sheetmetal,

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
Next, in order to get the new truck tail gate skin to fit, I had to take the curvature out of the Suburban tail gate. I did this by slicing the edge so I could move it in until it was flat, and then tack weld it. Next, ground off the curved part and finished welding it up. Pretty simple, ehhh.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
After I did both sides, I was able to put truck tailgate skin in place and get a good idea of how it was going to look when it was done. The suburban tailgate is narrower than the truck tailgate. Since the overall dimensions of the truck and suburban are the same, after I cut the new skin to fit the suburban tail gate, I took the other pieces and welded them to the truck bed ends to make up the difference.
