I figured something was different on the 72 doors but now I know.

hotrodchevy1999 · 11-27-2010, 08:20 PM

you look like you are going to have a good helper there to one day as well hope the 4 door turns out good for you its looking good like your build i have to keep up with it looks like it will be a good one

jbclassix · 11-28-2010, 06:07 PM

I haven't really had a chance to move forward on anything since I am still waiting on gas. However, I did get another rendering done. I plan on doing a few more for the nursery. It seems like a good place for them! This one is an important one since my wife owns a 48 Chevy pick-up and this will be her project.

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-29-2010, 03:57 PM

Very cool!

jbclassix · 12-18-2010, 04:11 PM

Score!

This is my Christmas present! This is also why my wife said I don't have to buy her anything for Christmas this year! Since the Dana 60 deal got put on hold, we picked up a spare 350 for the Yukon! My wife said that it had to be running before January. We are both VERY excited to have the Yukon back! Once the Yukon is on the road again I will have room to work on the burb. I am really motivated to get goin on the burb again!

VA72C10 · 12-18-2010, 04:23 PM

Looking good!

sparkydog · 12-18-2010, 04:34 PM

I am enjoying your build! You have a 3-4 year window of opportunity before the soccer games start eating into your guy time! Keep up the good work.

I have a cab that is up at my buddies house that is donating its B pillar as soon as the Yukon gets out of the way... Feb is my deadline to get back to work on the burb door!

Yeah... Hate to keep everyone waiting... I have been cleaning out the burb whenever I get frustrated with the engine. Its nice that one project doesnt frustrate me!

I have not called him on it yet... for what I paid for it, I'm not out anything but time really...

On a side note, I wanted to use the same seat I had in my 96 pick-up in the burb, but I found this on eB@y (sorry for stealing your picture). I am concerned about fit! Anyone seen a split bench out of a 95-99 GM truck in a 67-72? Notice this one is not centered either.

A little bit of fun, here are some pictures one of the guys took of me at work last night

Cell Phone pictures...

I will have more on getting the Yukon out of the way, I am working on the engine today.

pickup67man · 01-06-2011, 06:01 PM

I see you work on big tonka toys. You have lots of mines in the Colorado Springs area.
I installed a seat out of a 2004 Silverado in my 67 Chev pickup. It's good on width, just a little thick for a standard cab truck, I'm 6'3" tall. But I'm going to use it in my suburban when it's ready, then I can move it back further. The only thing is they have integrated seat belts so you need to reinforce the floor so the bolts don't pull through. I welded 1/8" steel plate under the cab where I bolted the seats in. The cupholder in front just cleared my Hurst ratchet shifter. I have to take the shift knob off when the car seat is installed or I can't get it into drive.

No, just one mine, 50 miles away on the other side of Pikes Peak. I have seen the 1999+ truck seats with the integrated seats in 67-72s, but I want to use the earlier 95-98 seats... Hopefully.

Got the block done!
