Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Just to let everyone know, When I heard the burb start up I nearly wet my pants... What a great sleeper.. If you pull up next to this guy then I would just wave and nod.. This is a very serious machine.. Great work across the board.. Even better when seen in person..

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
might be too late for this, but could you post an under dash shot of how the notches in the firewall came out?
what did you do about the firewall pad, and did they get in the way of anything? |

So we're pretty much moved onto the new place and getting settled down. We've put a couple thousand miles on the burb, driving it as much as we can...total blast! :metal:
Well, up until last Fri night :lol:...cruising down the freeway with the wife and all of a sudden BAM, followed by a lot of other racket and a serious vibration :lol: Drove a mile down the side of the freeway to an off ramp (at idle, with lots of noise)...couldn't find anything obvious there but drove it onto a trailer and got it home. Found that the carrier pin had sheared both ends off and the loose side walked into the R&P :waah: |

So...knowing that the 12B wasn't going to last in there, I picked up a D60 from a friend that had swapped it out of his rock crawler. It has been converted to big bearing 9in. axle ends with chevy discs and came with 2 sets of 35 spline Moser's. (no carrier or R&P) Thinking Trak-lok and 3.52s
A couple hours with the torch and grinder took care of the old brackets and it's ready to go to the machine shop for shortening. :metal: I'm planning on just narrowing it to the stock 62" WMS to WMS...but how cool would it be to narrow it a bit more, tub the rear, widen the ralleys, and stick some meats in there...now would be the time ;) |
Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Well first off, that sucks....but now I say tub it & put some fat rubber under the rear! :burnout:
|
Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
So tempting...:lol:
|
Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
where would you have your ralleys widened at? i was thinking the same thing on my truck! i want to get a set of rims like you got and widen two of them to 15x12 by adding 4in. to the backspacing and get some mickeys! anyways nice place you guys got, dont have to worry about the neighbors anymore, so thats a plus!!

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Very cool ,I love this build . It would look pretty mean with some big meats back there.
