Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

i love that you're using a trailblazer to tow your project since you're essentially melding one to your burban (envoy/trailblazer are close enough, right?). Keep up the good work!

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

What are you waiting for? I've got an 04 with 269,895!!! Put new tires on it Monday.

Be my guest, and thank you!

Frame aligned, drives straight up onto the trailer. Yup, pretty happy!:lol:



(the paper on the side is just the alignment specs)

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

Waaaayyyy coool!!!

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

My favorite part so far is the makeshift battery mount. lol

Looking good. Your project already moves under it's own power. You are ahead of about 85% of the projects in this section, including mine.

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

Your FAVORITE part? really? haha
I think its not bad considering I have less than $10k in it so far!:metal:

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

Congrats on the progress!

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

At least bolt a seat belt to the radial and cruise down to the the local McDonalds! Awesome project!

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

Freaking amazing! I wish I had half your talent.

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

No doubt, me too!!

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

Really guys, it has been MUCH easier than we (yes, we) expected. It just has taken a lot of careful thought, measuring, and planning. I'm not a welder, but I hired a good one. I do have a vision though. I'm not trying to build it as cheaply as possible, but I am trying to build efficiently.
Still havin fun!!
I certainly appreciate the kind words and encouragement.:metal:

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

Hey BBEEP, as you were making your decisions on how to graft the Envoy firewall to the Burb cowl, did you run into any issues with the windshield wiper posts & linkages? I was planning to try and use my modern wiper linkage and posts but using the old locations and post brackets. I just realized I have to have a solid plan ahead of time because once I tack weld the graft I will close off some access up into these areas.

Was yours pretty straight forward?

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

I haven't been too concerned about that. I will use the Envoy if I can, but most likely will use a universal wiper that has been recommended by a couple of local builders. It is a cable system and takes very little space.
I was thinking the same as you are to start with, that I would have major problems. Even considered wipers above the windshield, but have been assured this aftermarket is the way to go. I have "Raingear" on my 48 GMC Panel that works very well, but it is too large for the space I have. I will get some pics of my space and find out the name of the system when I can.

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

Going up in Eugene I had a 47 AD I drove for a while with poor vaccum wipers. I used a rag on a coat hanger for a while then got a better car, the girls I dated were not to enthusistac about hanging there arms out the window in the rain, go figure....

Re: 52 GMC Envoy Burb meld/build
 

Some girls just don't understand the bond between a man and his truck. Of course some do and those are the ones to find.
