Dang.... I guess I need to spend more time on Facebook!

Odd question, but I notice your booster vac hose.

I've hit a small snag with my 5.3 swap. My booster has the standard 3/8" barb fitting and the hose off the intake is 15/32" (like yours) What did you do on your booster end? I'm having a heck of a time finding a larger vacuum check valve for the 15/32" hose.

I can take a pic of it for you if you like? Honestly, the local guy that did my wiring and flashed my computer installed it. I do recall him making a comment about the check valfe,:but that he'd bought a new one and that fixed the issue.

Bryan,

What size tires did you end up going with? Trying to figure out some sizes for my truck for the near future. Thanks.

Jason,

245/40's in the front
275/40's in the rear

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

So is there a detailed write up on the spray rust technique in any of the forums here? I would love to know more about the methods used. Thanks.

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

I was going to say the thread about forced aging, but you've already seen it ;)

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

Yes, I just found it this morning. Thanks!

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

Hows that G van tank fit ? any picture of how its mounted ?

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

The wheels look great white. Nice move on your part to change the color.

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

Very nice! Love the Burb Bryan!

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

I gotta say, that inspires me to get moving faster on mine! 68 GMC doing a LQ4 6.0 with a 4L80E. Block is in the machine shop getting cleaned up. Can only hope to look even close to that good!

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

It fits ok. I've had to patch up several holes in it. It's actually put of the burb right now because I have two small holes I'm trying to find someone with cahunas to weld up. It sits too low and scrapes a little. If this doesn't work I'll either get a shield or have a tank built.

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

Another vote for the white wheels. Looks great!

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

Take it to the car wash and pressure wash it out good with soapy water, then rinse it out with clear water. I have brazed holes up in a couple of them after doing that.

Looks like I missed this one, (till now), that's one good looking 'Burb you built there Bryan.

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

Thank you sir

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

Great looking burb! Believe we conversed a bit in Bowling Green about our 72 Burb at HRPT?

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

Yes sir, hope to see yours at the show next weekend.
