Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
Looking good, I enjoy the teardown phase. I just wish it went back together as fast!
Still working on shipping rates, thought I had it nailed down (cheap too), but the shipping company (fedex freight), isn't sticking to what was quoted. :waah: I could pile the seats around the 283/PG and just ship one big ass pallet to ya...:lol::lol::lol: Enjoy the vacation!! |
Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
That was a great eye opener this morning. Watched/Listened to your Video. Brought a smile to my face.
Kudo's to the wife for helping out. |

I think when I get back, Im gonna pull the crossmember from under the '63 C-20 and use it. I have 1/2 ton rubber bushing style a-arms pulled from wrecking yard. Also have all new bushings and 88-98 style BJ's to except spindles I have also. Gonna rework the lower a-arm to except newer BJ, and run a 6-lug rotor .... :metal: OK, gotta head to air-port ..... ALOHA !!!!!!!!!! |
Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
That C20 crossmember isn't going to work for you John. When you get back take a look at the LCA shafts and how they mount. I suppose you could always fab some saddles and weld them on, but I think getting them in the exact location would be a big PITA.
Have fun and see you in a week. :) |

This is first early chassis, but always read here that 63 and later crossmembers bolt up with some sort of "elongation" of holes or something ? Posted via Mobile Device FROM MAUI, HAWAI'I |
Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
The crossmember will bolt up to the frame, but there are no saddles for the round C10 LCA shafts. The '63-'66 C20 LCA shafts are flat and bolt to the crossmember with standard hex head bolts.

Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
Wait.....
Ur talking about the bushing cross shafts being larger than the c20 saddles .... Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
No. The '63-'66 C20 lower control arm cross shafts are flat, so there are no saddles on the crossmember. The C10 lower control arm cross shafts are round and require a saddle on the crossmember to locate them exactly where they need to be

Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
Well, we flew in last night. Arrived back in CA (San Jose) at about 7:45. Pilot must of been in a hurry ... We actually arrived almost 45 min early.
The Maui airport is evidently a short one, because the pilot had to get on it before he even straightened it up on the runway ... thought he was gonna get a little sidewayz .... The wind at take off had the wife almost in tears ... All went well ... and we had a great time !!! Upon waking up this morning, I had my first present to open... Actually our dog, Jacob helped out with it. - - http://i49.tinypic.com/30jpkjc.jpg - One of CaptainFabs 60-62 booster mounts....Thanks again, Cap - http://i48.tinypic.com/1jsv8x.jpg |
Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
Today, nothing much was done, besides opening more can-o-worms ... :lol:
Notice the piles on the floor .... Looks like rockers officially need replacement, and well as floor crossmembers need replacement/patching ... :sumo: - http://i47.tinypic.com/261ccpg.jpg - http://i50.tinypic.com/33uael0.jpg - - After cutting out gas pedal screws, I removed the hump, exposing the 4-speed. Good thing, the driveline with front slip is present. - - http://i48.tinypic.com/2yybgnb.jpg - - Anyone need a good 4-speed ?? |

Re: '62 GMC Suburban is on it's way.....
You have that elusive pan that protects the front section of the engine between the rad and motormounts. Some trucks do most don't.

Re: '62 GMC Suburban is on it's way.....
I knew you, of all people, would comment on that.
It makes a great tool holder ! |
Re: '62 GMC Suburban is on it's way.....
