today I took the gas tank out and prepared to temp mount it in the back of the bed, until I can decide if I want to clean out the pickup tank which should be only 21 gals, or mount it where the spare tire goes, and relocate the spare. I think the sub tank is 40 gal and I don't have to worry about the fuel pressure being wrong, or fuel gauge sender being off a little. I don't know any ideas guys?

What is the law in your state say about relocating the fuel tank between the rear axle & the bumper? Insurance problem if you get hit with damage in the rear? Stick with the Suburban set-up... I like the bigger tank. I was told, for an option gas tank size, the filler tube is shortened to allow for a higher level in stock "looking" tanks. I was supposed to have the option 34 gal tank, but the dealer/manufacturer forgot to shorten the tube. It's only 29 gal. (Window sticker says 34) |

Re: 8-9 seater shortbed
If you see a Suburban without a hitch receiver, you can easily see the tank hanging down.

It's great having 3 acres out here in Missouri. Can't imagine being so close to neighbors that I'd have to be quiet after dark :) Quote:

Re: 8-9 seater shortbed
Ok, so two nights in a row I've started to take the rear heat a/c out and I still can't seem to get it out. Makes me wonder how expensive it is to get new hoses made, as I will proba ly have to do that a ywau and I am awful anxious to get this burb in half. I even bought a new tool today that was almost useless. Will try again tomorrow.

Re: 8-9 seater shortbed
:banghead:So, my decision was made for me tonight.... As I was gingerly trying to disconnect the rear air.....snap....psssst. oh well, I did check on makeing new hoses today. The guy at the parts store was so dificult to talk to. I know the price of making a hose depends on the lenth diameter and style of connector, but just give me an idea here. Are we talkin 5 bucks or a hundred and 5 bucks......:banghead:
Well, regardless the suburban body is cut apart now. Tomorrow after work I cut the frame, and then we separate. The Suburban, not me and my wife. :) got done too late to take pictures tonight. |
Re: 8-9 seater shortbed
Maybe find a replacement A/C line at a junk yard?

Re: 8-9 seater shortbed
Tha idea of rear ac maybe be overkill & jus addin more headache to what you have already going on. I'm sure tha front will be more than up to tha job..

Here are some more pictures, I took the trailer Axle and put it under the sub. It was wide enough to put outside the body as seen in the pictures. Problem was it was too wide (by about an inch and a half) to get into the garage door. so I cut it down and put a pipe inside the axle. Now I have an adjustable axle that comes apart! :metal: Later, I think I may use it to put under the rear half of the old suburban and move it around that way. this time it won't be way out in left field. :lol:

Got the frame squared up today. and cut to length No extra now. By the way, after getting a closer look, the frames are close to the same size, and close to the same shape, but just close. there must be some difference in either the frames from suburban to truck, or from 91-94. on the 94 suburban the frame is a perfect C-channel frame. on the 91 pickup the frame has a slight s bend in the top lip that kinda opens the c up a little. Pretty sure I can still make it work, just was a little surprised upon finding this out and thought I'd share it with you guys.
Now to trim up the sheet metal body and get these trucks Married! |
Re: 8-9 seater shortbed
