LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

LT1 Burb · 09-24-2012, 09:32 PM

Well, see how this goes, I have never done a frame off so lets give this a shot. It is going to be a 65 short fleet BBW Custom Cab, factory air, PS, PB, 283 auto with tach and clock.

LT1 Burb · 09-24-2012, 09:37 PM

Got the rear end back and picked up more parts from the powder coater's.

Modges'66 · 09-24-2012, 09:41 PM

Welcome aboard!
It looks like you got a great start.

If you are in the neighbourhood give us a call and we can grab a beer.

LT1 Burb · 09-26-2012, 11:52 PM

Put the front end almost back together but with no motor or weight I had no luck with the coil springs. Did get the rear end bolted back in with the springs and shocks mounted. Anyone know if there is a left and right spindle, I say no as they look identical to me.

LT1 Burb · 10-17-2012, 10:50 PM

Just got the front end put together, should be a roller by the weekend, rebuilt the steering box and the power assist valve along with the ram.

LT1 Burb · 10-28-2012, 11:04 PM

One rolling chassis done. Now I get to dig into the motor and trans.

LT1 Burb · 02-17-2013, 01:19 PM

Working on the motor and trans now. Had to send the trans through a parts washer, that crap on there would not come off. I stood in one spot with a 4000 PSI pressure washer and it didn't do anything. Motor is bored 30 over with new everything so should be good for the life of this truck now.

Yep, bone stock.

Bomp · 02-24-2013, 07:16 PM

Im in too.

LT1 Burb · 04-26-2013, 09:51 AM

Just catching up on my thread, restored my AC oil cap, although I believe the decal is the wrong one. I believe the right one is blue/white , anyone weigh in.Hopefully this weekend I will mate the motor trans with the frame to give me some room in the shop.

LT1 Burb · 04-26-2013, 09:57 AM

Rebuilt my AC delco starter with cheap american starter guts. I had two here and thought I would try it and it works great so I get to keep my numbers matching original starter.

bj383ss · 04-29-2013, 09:12 AM

Awesome Build LT1. Can't wait to get started on mine but have to get the garage finished first. I have question what paint did you use for the engine? I'm not going back stock but love the engine color!

LT1 Burb · 04-29-2013, 09:43 AM

It was a grey I got Industrial finishes to mix up from one of the original valve covers I had.
